Best away and made all, about half a length clear until final turn, kicked 2Ls clear at the 200 M, always in command.

Good early pace to race 2nd initially before box-seating 2Ls back in 3rd from 900 M to last turn, gave vain chase to the winner, comfortably held 2nd.

More prominent than usual in the one-out-one-back spot through first half, one-paced in the straight but did enough to place.

Pressed forward, half a length back in 2nd out 2-wide at 900 M and still close-up off last bend, one-paced to wrap-up and missed a place. (Tactic questioned.)

Worse than midfield 4Ls or 5Ls from the pace through to last turn, ran on fairly through spent rivals in the straight to get 5th.

3-wide no cover for much of the race, 5Ls back in midfield and wide at halfway, remained in a similar position.

3-wide but with cover towards rear some 5Ls or 6Ls off the speed before last corner, never likely to threaten principals.

2-wide about 4Ls off speed in midfield down back straight and same turning for home, weakened steadily.

One from rear at least 7Ls from the speed before last turn, remained a similar margin from the lead despite running on past beaten rivals in the straight.

Always worse than midfield at least 6Ls from the speed, never likely to get seriously involved.

3-wide but with cover in last about 8Ls behind leader and winner, never had much hope given slow tempo. (Tactic questioned.)

Crowded at start, 4-back the rails at halfway 5Ls off speed, much the same turning for home, yielded ground in the straight.

3-back the rails about 4Ls from the speed until last turn, found nothing off the bridle, poor effort.

Crowded at the start, a little worse than midfield about 5Ls off pace from lead before final turn, offered nothing under pressure.
