6Ls back in 8th out 2-wide at the 1000 M, closer but wide into the straight, picked up well to lead 150 M out, kept up to his work, readily.

Went back from wide gate and 10Ls last at 1200 M, over 6Ls down and one from rear turning in, stayed on well down the centre to nick 2nd late.

7th with cover between 4Ls and 6Ls from the speed before straightening up, 1L back at the 200 M, all out to just sneak into a place.

Led early on, handed up advantage from 1000 M, soft trail in 2nd to straight, led again briefly 250 M out, had every chance to at least place.

Over-raced in a little 2-wide and 2Ls off pace in 4th down back straight, upsides and with every chance 200 M out, run peaked inside closing stages.

Went back from wide gate, one from rear at 1000 M when 8Ls adrift, 5Ls back off last bend, recovered some fair late ground, never nearer.

On and off the bridle throughout, 3-back the fence around midfield within 4Ls or 5Ls of speed till home turn, one-paced for pressure thereafter.

Awkward break and no early speed, 8Ls back in 9th at halfway, 5Ls back spinning for home, couldn't reach the principals.

Never travelling very well, ridden along and 10Ls last at halfway, retrieved some late ground in the straight but never a genuine threat.

Pressed on from wide gate to lead at 1000 M, crossed to rail at 700 M, 1L clear off last turn but headed before furlong pole and very weak late.

Enjoyed a soft trail on the fence in 4th or so within 3Ls of the speed until final bend, faded out pretty cheaply considering the easy passage.

Raced in 5th with cover some 4Ls back in middle stages and hard pressed to hold this position entering straight, very one-paced to wind up. (Questioned for disappointing performance.)
