Began well from the one draw, held rails run in prominent position early, shifted out to be 2-wide in joint 4th rounding the bend, went wider turning in, responded well to assert authority inside final 300 M.

Moderate start, soon ridden to forward of midfield along the rails, fought on steadily in straight without threatening winner.

Settled wide towards the rear, ran on well down centre of straight to be nearest at finish. (Heat stress.)

Soon dropped to the rear, shaken up shortly after straightening, finished off race well inside final 200 M despite shifting ground.

Just behind midfield, switched out to challenge upon straightening, fought on steadily to be nearest at finish.

Raced wide in midfield far side, remained similar and without cover around the bend, ran home one-paced under pressure.

Contested early lead after beginning from the widest barrier, hit front briefly approaching home bend but handed up lead for the bend, trailed front runner into straight, soon found no extra.

Driven along to contest lead throughout early stages, crossed to the front around the bend, weakened noticeably inside final 200 M.

Began with others, remained in prominent position to straight, kept on before dropping out tamely inside final 200 M.

Slow out, soon dropped to the rear, picked up to one or two from last around the bend, went past well beaten horses in straight. (Questioned for disappointing performance.)

Niggled at throughout early stages, settled in rear of midfield around the bend, saved ground turning in, found nothing under pressure.

Broke well, gradually taken back to be just better than midfield but continued to race keenly, faded under pressure in straight.

Sluggish start, soon found himself in last few, never sighted thereafter.

Raced wide in forward position disputing second around the bend, soon compounded in straight.
