Comments

1DESIGNS ON ROME  J Moreira  (TT-)

Patiently held up at the rear 7Ls off the pace, wide bid nearing 600M, swung widest into straight, chased home Military Attack, kept giving under strong drive, dug deep final stages to prevail in a pulsating finish.
2MILITARY ATTACK  Z Purton  (H/SR)

Settled behind midfield 5-6Ls off the pace, travelled smoothly to straight, picked up well 400M, hit lead 50M only to be caught by winner last few strides. Ran huge in defeat.
3CRITERION  H Bowman  (B)

Tracked leader, responded well when driven 350M, hit lead inside 300M and looked a strong chance, caught by first 2 nearing 50M, held on for 3rd.
4CIRRUS DES AIGLES  C Soumillon

Held up in mid-division, moved out to a striking spot 450M, not finishing pace of first two but stayed on well to claim 4th.
5HELENE SUPER STAR  M Demuro  (TT)

Soon taken across the fence after a sluggish start, travelled towards the rear 5-6Ls off the pace, switched out for his challenge 400M, ran on well for a career best performance.
6FARRAAJ  A Atzeni

Never far off from the pace, kept on chasing leaders early straight, outdashed final 150M.
7ARCHIMEDES  Y Iwata  (H)

Settled in midfield, saved ground on inside, driven 350M, stayed on moderately and never a serious threat.
8CALIFORNIA MEMORY  M Chadwick

Dropped back to the rear over 8Ls behind leaders, crept closer home turn, stayed on mildly and not reached leaders.
9SAME WORLD  N Rawiller  (H/SR)

Soon led, set slow pace first 800M, quickened up mid-stages, headed inside 300M, weakened and no extra passing 150M.
10PLEASURE GAINS  G Mosse

Sat handily just behind leader, driven out near 400M but had little to offer, soon outpaced by much higher rated rivals, eased final 100M.
11ENDOWING  B Prebble  (P)

Shifted across behind runners, raced in a 3-wide position for much of the way, came under pressure 500M, not quickened entering straight.
12BLAZING SPEED  N Callan  (TT)

Caught 3-wide without cover from draw 12, still in touch rounding the home turn but first to be beaten turning in. (Lame next day)
