Slowest out, held up in rear, going well when 6Ls down 600 M out, stayed on strongly in the straight to lead inside final 100 M, decisively.

Soon 1L back in 2nd and same turning for home, led briefly about 150 M out but quickly swallowed up by the winner and only just held 2nd.

3-back along rails in 5th or 6th down the back, niggled along 600 M out, all out in the home straight to barely nick a place.

Slow to muster early pace, 3-wide with cover down the back straight, 3Ls down in 4th turning for home, jockey dropped whip at 300 M, nearly placed.

Worse than midfield on rails about 5Ls from the speed through to home straight, headway before being up 50 M out, may have placed otherwise.

Lacked early pace, 8Ls back in rear at 800 M and still well back turning for home, made some good late headway, never nearer. (Questioned.)

Led as usual, about 1L clear on rails until the home straight, headed inside the 200 M and tipped out of a place late on.

Midfield and 3-wide with cover at first but lost ground on the circle to be 6Ls down near rear off last bend, no danger from then on.

Over-raced down the back straight around midfield, 3Ls down in 3rd on straightening, dropped out quickly in closing stages. (Bled.)

Midfield with cover initially, under pressure to lie up turning for home, never dangerous.

4-wide without cover throughout, 2Ls off speed in middle stages but steadily lost position on the circle and fizzled out tamely.

Towards rear, hung out very badly at the 800 M and detached in rear before final bend, never a factor.
