Held up 2-wide in mid-division 4Ls off the steady pace, driven nearing 400M, quickened up in good style to lead inside 200M, soon drew away from rivals winning it decisively.

Began awkwardly, settled towards rear 6Ls off the pace, bid wide 500M, closed off soundly to go 2nd near line, not reached winner.

Up with early pace, restrained to 6th place middle stages, responded well leaving the bend to go 2nd 150M, proved no match with winner, one paced final stages and lost 2nd near line.

Not hurried, settled in last place 7Ls behind leader, 5Ls down 400M, did not enjoy the clearest of passages but stayed on well when switched out wide.

Positively ridden but unable to get across from draw 5, settled along the 3 path in chasing group, no cover from 800M, battled on in straight and was always held by leaders.

Close up early stages, fell back to midfield middle stages, stayed on final 300M but never able to trouble leaders.

Moved up to the fore 1200M, led to 900M, driven and regained lead early straight, remained prominent until weakening 150M.

From draw 14 caught wide early stages, tracked leader 1100M, dueled for lead turning in, remained in contention until 200M, faded towards the line.

Taken across behind runners, 7Ls off the pace in rear, kept to inside throughout and had to make his run from an unpromising position passing 350M, made limited progress.

Proved difficult to settle in the lead passing 1400M, fell back to midfield 750M, crept closer to leaders 500M, held up in straight and not able to ridden out until 100M when leaders have already gone beyond reach.

Settled down behind midfield, made only fair progress before running to heels of leaders mid-straight, not ridden out over concluding stages. (Jockey : saddle shifted early stages, disadvantaged for the remainder of the race)

Unable to slot in, in midfield early, caught 3-wide without cover until moving to the lead 800M, headed 350M, no extra in tank.

Ended up in a 3-wide position behind midfield, soon outpaced and beaten 350M, no impression

Fractious in stalls, began awkwardly, settled 5Ls back towards the rear, failed to pick up entering straight, eased mid-straight. (No abnormal findings)
