In mid-division, emerged with a strong challenge 200M out, in top gear final 100M to get the better of the persistent 2nd and 3rd near line.

Travelled well behind midfield, ran on strongly 350M, dueled with winner from 200M, narrowly beaten.

Chased the pace, responded well as they straightened up and wore down the long-time leader near 50M, headed by first two near line.

Positively ridden, vied for lead on the outside, led mid-straight, one paced final 100M and was caught by first 3 inside 50M.

Towards the tail of the field, was stuck behind horses until 200M but stayed on well once in the clear.

Awkwardly away and lost ground, was forced to settle in the rear 6-7Ls off the pace, made some progress final 350M but was left with too much to do.

Vied for the lead on the inside, lost lead 150M, weakened final stages.

Well placed along the inside just behind leaders, had every chance turning in but lacked finishing pace.

From draw 12 crossed to a 2-wide position in midfield, could not quicken with the leaders inside 350M, kept on same pace final stages.

Always behind a midfield position on the inside, taken out to centre of track passing 400M, steadied mid-straight but was never going the pace to challenge.

Slow to begin, held up 3-wide behind midfield, failed to find a turn of foot when put to pressure nearing 400M.

Dropped back to the rear, inclined to hang out from 600M and never threatened at the back.
