Broke sharply, always prominent behind leader, strode to lead nearing 300M, kept on well and always had enough to hold off the late challenge of 2nd.

Eased back to a midfield position, 3-4Ls back along the fence, got going inside 300M, raced greenly when placed under pressure but still made good progress to get within 0.5L of winner.

Held up towards the rear, stayed on moderately to go 3rd near line but posed no danger to first two.

Broke well, soon led, set even pace, headed by eventual winner 300M, one paced final 200M and lost 3rd near line.

Settled in mid-division, brought wide 500M, made good initial progress entering straight, one paced final 200M.

Pushed along early but failed to muster, dropped back to a rearward spot approaching home turn, made limited progress over final 300M.

Began only fairly, caught very wide without cover making the turn, not pace of leaders entering straight, weakened late stages.

Never far off from leaders but failed to respond entering straight, kept on same pace. (Blood in trachea)

In touch, gave little response turning home, faded mid-straight.

Restrained on jumping from a wide barrier, settled near last, was urged along nearing 500M but failed to respond, never a factor.

Settled in the group chasing leaders, 3-wide no cover turning for home, found disappointingly little when asked, never a threat to leaders.

Dropped back to last 7Ls off the pace, not picked up and never involved.
