Began nicely, took trailling position on leaders back, had ideal run to bend, eased out to challenge at 300 M, hit lead passing 200 M and held off rivals late for a strong win.

Out slowly, ended up 4 to 5Ls back on fence in midfield, raced keenly but saved ground throughout and took short cuts turning, made good progress along inside in straight to take 2nd late.

Began well enough, assumed a position behind pace 3 to 4Ls off front, enjoyed a quiet run in mid-section, aided by steady sections to bend, into clear turning and made good ground to 100 M but couldn't wear down margin.

Jumped fairly, ended up behind midfield 6Ls from top end, saved ground on rails throughout, gained inside runs in straight and finished soundly.

Showed early speed, took up running, set terms to suit with steady sections, held a narrow lead turning, couldn't dash with rest inside 250 M but held ground creditably in run to line.

Drifted back from widest gate, posted 4 wide 8Ls away, went forward without cover on bend, 5Ls down on bend, very wide turning, ran on nicely final 300 M to be nearest on line.

First out, pressed on to race outside leader, had an easy time with steady sections, levelled up on straightening, lacked extra gear final 300 M and just kept same speed in run to line.

Standard jump, ended up racing 3 wide early but dropped in on bend 5Ls away in running line, urged along before steadied on straightening, switched out and made even ground off on unsuitable tempo.

Lacked early pace, ended up racing 3 wide with an 8Ls or so away, still well back on bend and not suited by pace, lacked room in important part of straight and was not properly tested.

Taken back from a wide alley, switched down to rails, raced 8Ls away near to tail, still well back turning, made good progress along inside in straight but steady early pace harmed chances.

Even jump, ended up in midfield spot 4Ls away, enjoyed reasonable run in middle stages, pushed wide on bend, didn't let down and just struggled in straight.

Moderate jump, soon in rearward division, raced 6 to 7Ls away, tempo against in mid-section, well back to bend, battled evenly before lost run at 200 M, never factored thereafter.

Lacked speed from outset as usual and soon at rear, raced 8Ls away in 2 wide line, steady pace harmed chances, well back turning, held up most of straight and was not properly tested.

Began with first few, took a prominent role 1 out 1 back, helped by steady tempo to bend, under pressure soon after turning and faded easily.
