Settled in midfield along the rail, angled out for a clear run near 300 M, picked up gradually from 200 M to record a back to back success close home.

Quickly rolled to the lead and went a leisure gallop, quickened up the tempo making the home turn and held 2Ls advantage inside 300 M, kept on well and was only caught a few strides before the line.

Slow to begin, crept closer to hold a prominent position just behind leaders, held every chance on straightening, stayed on OK and did well to hold off the late challenges for a minor placing.

Caught wide making the first turn, settled in a better than midfield position in middle stages, carried back near 400 M, took time to gather on straightening and did his best work towards the line.

Urged to maintain a spot behind midfield, raced 2-wide trailing 6Ls down the back straight, came wide on turning, finished the fastest and just missed a placing.

Always close to the pace, unable to cross from a wide barrier and raced wide on the first turn, tracked leader one out one back turning in, battled on in the straight without making ground on the leader.

Became unbalanced and lost ground shortly after start, held a midfield position 5Ls back, shuffled back turning in, had no clear run until 200 M, finished off the race reasonably thereafter.

Taken back on jumping, in a rearward position throughout, made a wide turn and had 7Ls to make up coming off the bend, ran on only fairly.

Taken back on jumping, crossed to the fence and raced in a rearward position early, moved closer entering the back straight, steadied near 250 M before running on without threat down the inside.

Raced 3-wide behind midfield, 5-6Ls off the pace down the back straight, similar turning in, failed to quicken up under pressure and ran home one-paced.

Taken back from the wide barrier, raced in distant last trailing over 10Ls in early and middle stages, moved closer making the home turn but went very wide, didn't find much on straightening and ran disappointingly.

Amongst the front rank but proved difficult to settle racing outside the lead, struggled for pace on turning, beaten early in straight.
