Jumped well from the inside draw, pressed on to take up the early running, eased back to 2nd passing 1000 M, going strongly to straight, regained the lead near 350 M and kept on well to the line.

Swiftly away, tracked leader before taking up the running near 1000 M, soon headed by the eventual winner on straightening, had to dig deep to resist the determined challenge from the 3rd.

Slow into stride, shaken up early to take closer order not far off from leaders, brought with a challenge inside 350 M, ran on OK despite posing little threat to the winner, battled on gamely to the line and just missed out on 2nd.

Away with them, travelled in a handy position just off the pace, had every chance on straightening but unable to find an extra gear, kept giving to the line under hands and heels riding.

Away well enough, pushed along to maintain a position in midfield, 3-wide turning for home, kept on OK but never seriously threatened.

Slow beginning, soon guided to the rail and raced in a midfield position 4Ls off the pace, lacked a strong finish in straight and couold only hold ground in the run to the line.

Gradually drifted back to the rear after jumping, had 5Ls to make up approaching home straight, shifted out from the rail to obtain clear run but responded only fairly.

Began in line, travelled in mid-division, ran a shade keen early, taken wide on straightening, soon struggled to keep up with them. Never a factor.

Began awkwardly, unable to cross from a wide barrier and was forced wide on turning, gave ground from 200 M, soon dropped away.

In a rearward position throughout, inclined to hang out in middle stages and didn't negotiate the turn well, found nothing under pressure before dropping away from 200 M.
