Moved forward to race outside leader early stages, took over entering the back straight, broke away from the field passing 500M, built up a sizable lead going into 200M and was never challenged.
2JIMSON THE BEST  D Whyte

Never far off the pace, driven out nearing 400M, advance to 2nd place turning in, couldn't gain on the runaway leader but held on gamely for 2nd when strongly challenged close home.

Guided to a rail position behind midfield, had a smooth run along the inside throughout, stayed on well but never had a chance of catching the runaway winner, missed out on 2nd in a close finish.

Towards the rear 6-7Ls off the pace, made his challenge on the outside of straight, not quickened.
