Held up behind midfield, raced 3-wide from 900M, came widest over the turn, ran on strongly final 200M, took charge 50M and won going away.

Tracked leader, moved up to challenge nearing 400M, led 200M out, kept on well to the line but no match with winner final 50M.

Raced 2-wide in mid-pack to 1100M, hampered by the slackening mid-race tempo and taken to a 3-wide spot without cover, improved round the outside of field over home turn, stayed on to the line.

Pushed along early to maintain a midfield position along the rail, crept closer to pace rounding the home turn, kept on one paced to the line.

Began awkwardly, held up near the rear, not suited by the slow mid-race tempo and overraced from 1000M, ran on steadily from off the pace inside 300M.

Towards the rear nearly 10Ls off the pace in the first half, turned 3-wide from 900M, made some progress down the outside but not getting to leaders.

Settled in last and well off the pace in the first half, moved closer when the pace slackened from 800M, made limited progress down the outside.

Driven to the lead after a sluggish start, slowed down the pace after 1000M, hung on to lead till 200M, weakened steadily.

Urged along to obtain a forward position just behind leading pair, hampered by the slow pace and became overraced from 600M, checked early straight, finished off only fairly.

Held up in mid-division 2-wide, moved to within 3Ls of leader approaching top of straight but lacked a needed response final 300M, weakened late stages.

Went forward and raced one out one back, hung out over the final turn, weakened 200M and faded out of contention.

Began awkwardly, raced off the fence in a rearward position, moved closer to leaders over the final turn but could only keep on at the same pace. Never threatened. (Very stiff action noted next day)
