Began well enough, angled into ideal spot, 1 out 1 back throughout, improved wider to challenge at 400m, hit lead and kept up effort to defy rivals late.

Settled just behind speed 3 wide with cover, 2-3Ls back on bend, came wider turning and kept closing from 300m, held by winner inside 100m.

Assumed a midfield spot 2 wide 4ls from top end, no excuses in run, angled into clear at 300m, chased steadily to line.

Moderate beginning, took spot behind midfield on rails, 5-6Ls back to bend, gradually improved and weaved clear in straight, closed nicely when clear to make frame.

Out with rest and landed a midfield spot 4Ls or so back on rails, saved ground rounding bend but didn't have a clear run turning, worked home nicely along inside when clear.

Positioned behind midfield, 5-6Ls back racing 3 wide, had cover in mid section, closed gradually in straight to be not far away despite not looking a winning chance.

Drifted back to rear from a wide alley, raced 3 wide at rear, 7-8Ls back with cover to bend, came widest in straight, made decent progress down middle to be nearest on line.

Landed a spot 3 wide in midfield with cover, 4Ls or so back throughout, ridden up turning and just turned in a one paced effort in straight.

Pressed forward as usual to take a prominent spot on speed, worked a bit with pressure from outside horse, hit lead briefly turning but dropped off quickly by 200m.

Positive from gates, took position behind leader on rails, even run on speed, angled out turning, looked a brief place chance but peaked at 200m and became unbalanced in action final 100m.

Away fairly, raced behind midfield 5-6Ls back, even run in mid section, same margin down turning, made no real progress.

Standard getaway, pushed on but posted 3 wide, allowed to slide closer 3 wide without cover 1L away, up challenging rounding bend, niggled turning but hard run took toll and weakened out. (See Racing Incidents.)

No early speed, well back on rails, shared rear 7-8Ls back, showed nothing at business end.

Out with rest, rushed forward from a wide gate, used a bit to lead, challenged and headed turning, weakened right out in straight.
