Eased back 9Ls behind solid speed in rear in middle stages, quickened up nicely from top of home straight to lead 150 M out, kept on strongly.

4th about 4Ls off initial speed, 3rd and still 4Ls back off last bend, upsides with every chance at 200 M, easily held by winner, probably better for further.

3-wide no cover in places in 8th down back straight, over 5Ls behind taking final turn, a neck down in 3rd at the 200 M, run peaked but held a place okay.

Midfield with cover roughly 5Ls from speed through to final bend, challenging over 1L off lead at the 200 M while hanging in, one-paced to wrap up.

12th about 8Ls from the speed at the 1000 M and still well back taking final bend, considerably closer at the 200 M but couldn't follow through.

Raced 2nd about 2Ls behind the strong pace until the home turn, swamped at around the furlong pole having gone a bit too quickly.

Raced 3rd until the 600 M but a little green and wayward on debut, faded out of the picture in the home straight.

Set a fast pace and about 2Ls to the good until the final turn, came back to the field at the final furlong and dropped away.

Worse than midfield about 7Ls from pace in 10th out 2-wide until the home straight, launched a brief bid but held inside the final furlong.

3-back on rails in mid-division about 5Ls or 6Ls from the fast speed, tepid finish.

Slow to muster pace, always rearward, 10Ls behind turning for home, very one-paced.

Caught 3-wide no cover throughout, close-up in 5th or so at the 1000 M, hard pressed to keep this close off home turn, dropped out quickly.

Always a long way off the pace and ceded further ground in conclusion, performance deemed unacceptable.

Awkward break, never travelling well in rear and eased down a long way out in the straight, performance was unacceptable.
