Given a waiting ride as usual and travelled 8Ls off the pace just behind mid-division, crept closer rounding bend, dashed impressively down centre of home straight when asked final 350 M, hung in at 200 M, drew clear to score easily.

Driven to hold a one-off position in midfield, responded well when asked for efforts final 300 M, checked at 200 M, soon recovered and ran on soundly for 2nd. (Objection overruled.)

Jumped only fairly, niggled along to hold a one-off position 3-4Ls off the speed, ran on steadily when placed under pressure final 300 M but soon overhauled by the winner, kept on for a place.

Awkwardly started, taken rearward to sit 10Ls behind the leader, travelled nicely on rails, niggled along from 650 M and swung wide for home, made gradual progress down centre of the straight, too late for a place.

Jumped only fairly, sat cosily just behind the pace, quickened to challenge the leader from 600 M, kept on well early in home straight, overhauled at 250 M, remained one-paced.

Broke well, prominently placed about 4Ls behind the speed, never properly clear in home straight, not fully tested.

Easily ran up to lead 1L, left contested until the home turn, kept on until overhauled passing 200 M, soon got tired.

Out in line, given a waiting ride as usual and travelled over 10Ls behind the leader, niggled along rounding bend, made up little ground final 250 M.

Settled 3Ls behind the speed, travelled nicely in early and middle stages, held ground early in home straight but could not find extra to challenge the principals final 150 M.

Out in line, held up in a fence position in midfield, gave very limited response when asked final 400 M, never a factor.

Broke well, taken rearward and travelled about 10Ls off the pace, pulled hard when being restrained in the early stages, made no progress in home straight, never competitive.
