Slotted into a 3-wide spot in midfield but soon without cover, improved to race outside the lead 900M, quickened to a 2.5L lead 250M, continued on and maintained that advantage to the line.

Close up to the pace first half, fell back to midfield approaching home turn, finished best of the chasing pack over final 300M, got up for 2nd late but no impression on runaway winner.

Switched off to near the rear 7Ls back, not helped by the slackening pace middle stages, taken wide 600M, stayed on moderately for 3rd but not reached winner.

Crossed to the lead 1300M but relinquished that position down the back-straight, still close enough turning home, finished off evenly but couldn't get to winner.

Towards the rear in the first half of the race, switched to 3-wide nearing home turn and crept closer to pace 600M, finished with a steady bid but no threat to winner.

Taken back from wide barrier, 3-wide towards the rear, mover closer to pace when pace slackened in mid-stages, swung home 4-wide, in contention for minor placing until 50M, faded.

Tracked leaders early stages, shuffled back to midfield when paced slackened mid-stages, kept on only fairly in straight and never looked likely.

Restrained behind midfield, inclined to lay out and proved difficult to ride, strode forward when left with no cover 800M, held 2nd to near 150M, no extra late stages.

Initially settled in 5th, moved up to the fore passing 1000M, outsprinted by rivals 300M, gradually weakened.

Bustled along after the jump, caught wide until joining leader 1200M, tracked leaders home turn, keeping on same pace in straight, weakened out of contention inside 200M.

Lost a considerable amount of ground when blundered badly on jumping, 5-6Ls back near the rear, 3-wide bid 600M out but never going the pace to challenge.

Slow to begin, detached from the field middle stages, not made up ground when placed under pressure, never involved. (Unacceptable Performance.)

Failed to muster despite ridden, ended up in a position behind midfield, not picked up entering straight, gradually weakened.

Settled down 4Ls back in midfield, shuffled back to near the rear home turn and had little to offer, soon beaten.
