Settled in midfield 3-wide, travelled strongly, picked up effortlessly and cruised past leader near 200M, drew clear beating a high class field with total authority.

Caught wide no cover early then strode forward to race outside leader, took over nearing 400M but couldn't match winner's acceleration mid straight, kept on well enough to hold 2nd.

Dropped back to the rear 6-7Ls off the steady pace, saved ground on the inside, last into straight and pulled widest to challenge, stayed on strongly from the rear.

Held up in last 7Ls behind leader, turned 3-wide from 600M and crept closer to pace, ran on well final 400M.

Broke well, soon crossed to the fence, had cover behind leader from 1200M, kept on steadily final 400M but not pace to challenge first two, lost 2 places near finish.

Travelled well in a rearward spot, found clear passage inside 300M, stayed on without reaching leaders but nevertheless a good effort considering the depth of the opponents.

Tracked leaders 3-wide under restraint, left with no cover from 1200M, driven along passing 500M, kept on one paced.

Up with early pace, became difficult to settle after being crossed 1400M, 3Ls back in midfield turning for home, held up behind horses to 250M but didn't find much when clear.

Not far off from the pace, well covered, travelled smoothly but found disappointingly little off the bridle, faded inside 100M.

Towards the rear and was 4-wide without cover for most of the trip, didn't show his usual turn of foot when put to pressure passing 400M. Ran well below par.

Settled in midfield, kept on same pace final 400M, no impression on leaders. (Blood in trachea.)

Reserved in a rearward position, not quickened passing 400M, never a factor.

Driven forward, led steadily, faded nearing 300M, soundly beaten.

Slow to muster, raced behind midfield along the inside, not quickened passing 400M, soon left behind.
