2-wide and no more than 1L back in 2nd until the home turn, half a length behind GOOD STRIKE 300 M out, got back on top of that rival inside final 50 M.

3Ls back in midfield with cover at the 800 M, eased to the front 300 M and looked the winner, didn't find much more and headed by HUSSLER final 50 M.

Enjoyed 'one-out-one-back' spot in 4th about 2Ls back until final bend, 5th at the 200 M but stayed on well enough for 3rd without troubling front pair.

Got loose before start, box-seated in 3rd just over 1L behind leader until home turn, held up until the 200 M when 4th, not a bad debut all considered.

Slowly away, 4-back the fence along the back, 6Ls back at halfway and 4Ls off at top of home straight, always held from the top four bracket.

Went back from widest gate, 8Ls last at the 800 M, 5Ls back in 9th turning for home, one-paced.

3-back the fence 3Ls off the speed leaving back straight, pressured to retain this proximity entering home straight, petered out.

4Ls back in 7th out 3-wide no cover at the 800 M, closer but ridden along turning for home, very one-paced in the home straight.

Led by 1L at the 800 M, maintained a break before being headed soon after straightening, dropped out rapidly, later found breathing abnormally. (Questioned.)

Got loose before start, raced ungenerously while hanging out through first half around midfield, offered little in the home straight.

Flipped over in paddock and very wound up before the start, always rearward at least 5Ls or 6Ls from the pace.

In last or one from rear throughout while at least 8Ls from the pace.
