Restrained after the start, settled behind midfield 6Ls off the pace, shifted out to clear 350M and quickened up smartly to lead inside 200M, kept on well to win 5th in a row.

Began awkwardly, lacked early speed, settled on the rails 8Ls back near last, held up early straight, ran on strongly when clear inside 300M, closing in on the winner with every stride.

Held up in midfield, switched away from fence 600M, lacked winner's acceleration inside 300M but stayed on well.

Dropped back to near last, 7Ls off the pace turning in, found clear run towards outside of track, ran on steadily to claim 4th.

Taken across runners after the start, patiently held up in last, swung widest into straight, stayed on mildly for a non-threatening 5th.

Tucked in 3rd position along the fence, ideally placed to strike but ran on only fairly inside 400M.

Settled 3-wide behind midfield, further back than intended, brief effort to 200M, turned one pace thereafter.

In 4th place, difficult to settle early stages, had every chance, not pace of leaders passing 200M.

Placed ahead of midfield, saved ground on the inside, angled out to clear 300M, gave limited response, no threat from 150M.

Held up midfield, never going the pace to challenge.

Pressed to the front, had an uncontested lead at good pace, 2Ls in front passing 400M, kept on to mid-straight before weakening.

Unable to slot in from outside barrier, travelled behind midfield 4-wide without cover, kept on same pace turning in, never threatened.

Caught 3-wide without cover in midfield, had little left turning in, soon beaten.

Driven forward and chased leader 2-wide, under serious pressure 450M, found nil and soon out of contention.
