Driven forward from a wide barrier, settled outside the leader, quickened to lead 300M out, dug in gamely final stages to keep rivals at bay.

Began well, settled behind leaders in 4th, chased eventual winner from 300M, always held.

Held up towards the rear, 6Ls behind leaders and taken out 500M, gained ground steadily and narrowly missed out on 2nd place.

Led early stages, stalked the pace passing 1000M, held up behind the weakening leader until 250M, ran on evenly when clear but was always held by winner.

Dropped back to the rear 7Ls off the pace, brought wide to challenge entering straight, closed off last 400M fastest, nearest line.

Rushed to the lead on jumping from a wide draw, ran on same pace when joined by rivals passing 300M, weakened final stages.

Niggled along to hold a position ahead of midfield, 3Ls to make up 400M, ran on same pace and unable to make headway on leaders.

Reserved in midfield 5-6Ls behind leaders, checked at 350M, failed to respond appreciably over this shorter trip, never a threat to leaders.

In mid-division, proved difficult to settle for a considerable distance near 900M, gave limited response when driven, never got near leaders.

Began awkwardly, ended up near the rear over 7Ls behind leaders, angled out advancing entering straight, hampered 350M, ran on only fairly.

Dropped back to last 8-9Ls off the pace, made only limited progress turning in, never reached contention.

Settled in midfield along the 2-path, came up empty turning home, weakened rapidly final 250M.
