Placed in midfield 3Ls off leaders, made a crucial move away from the fence passing 400 M, progressed steadily to lead near 100 M and found the necessary to hold on.

Taken back and racing towards the rear throughout, 6Ls behind leader passing 400 M and ran on strongly down the outside to finish within a neck of the winner.

Up with the early pace then restrained to a position in midfield, swung widest into the straight, picked up strongly final 300 M to finish nearest on the line.

Dropped back to a 2-wide position behind midfield, over 4Ls behind nearing the top of the straight, closed off the race well when clear inside 200 M. Narrowly beaten.

Broke well from the advantageous inside draw, placed handily behind leaders and swiftly moved into a striking position off the bend, ran on well but couldn't match strides with the late finishers final 100 M.

Crossed to the fence soon after the start then vied for lead to straight, kicked 1L clear turning in, all out but was swamped inside 100 M.

Never far off the pace, one off the fence in the chasing group behind leading pair, drifted to the inside 350 M out and finished off at the same pace only.

Taken back from a wide barrier and settled in last 7Ls off the pace, niggled along from 500 M but took long while to muster, ran on final 200 M under maximum pressure.

Went forward and attacked the lead on the outside, under serious pressure halfway round the home turn and weakened badly over the final 200 M.

Ended up behind midpack after a slow start, saved ground on the inside 4 to 5Ls back, driven 350 M out but no progress. Never a factor.

Caught wide in midfield throughout and raced without cover from 800 M, close enough turning in but found nothing off the bridle, eased.

Slow to begin, ended up in last few trailing 7Ls to leaders, failed to pick up at all when asked, eased near 200 M.
