In mid-division early but gradually crept forward to lead approaching 900 M, kept on well inside 350 M despite hanging in and difficult to be ridden out. Just held on.

Settled behind midfield and used little in run, steadied near 300 M but thereafter quickened impressively to nearly win the race.

Up with the early pace, always prominent in 3rd, strongly challenged the race leader inside 250 M but was always held.

Handily placed in a position ahead of midfield, had a smooth trip to straight, picked up well passing 300 M, nearest at finish.

Held inside running in midfield, waited with until 350 M, progressed steadily inside 200 M, kept on late.

Broke well but was taken back to mid-division, travelled 3-wide throughout and no cover from 800 M, held every chance in straight, ran on nicely towards the line.

Eased to the rear on jumping, given a patient ride and was 7Ls down entering the straight, steadied and shifted out near 400 M for a clear run, stayed on strongly towards the finish.

Led steadily on rails till 900 M, driven 300 M out, found little and weakened quickly final 100 M.

Towards the rear 7Ls back and saved ground on the inner, pressed on inside 500 M, made some headway from off the pace but offered little threat.

Slow to begin, placed behind midfield 5 to 6Ls off the pace, switched to 3-wide making the final turn, plugged on in straight but never dangerous.

Settled in midfield 5Ls back, well covered throughout, stayed on inside 400 M but not pace to challenge.

Close up behind leaders, was a shade keen and had to be restrained, ridden 350 M out, soon outpaced.

Dropped back on jumping, 3-wide in last few 7Ls back, under pressure inside 500 M, not quicken. Never a factor.
