Positively ridden, settled one off in 2nd, waited with till 200M, continued on well once in the lead, was strongly challenged late stages but held on.

Up with early pace then sat behind leaders long the rails, held up for clear running early straight, switched out 150M and closed off strongly, just denied.

Fractious in stalls, crossed to the 3-path just behind the pace but left with no cover form 900M, moved closer nearing home straight, kept on steadily to line, held on for 3rd in a close finish.

Tracked leaders in a steadily run race, well placed in 5th turning in, kept grinding away under pressure, just missed 3rd in a close finish for the minor placings.

Rushed forward to lead from 1100M, led at steady pace, placed under pressure 250M, continued on well despite losing the lead 200M, only swamped late.

Settled midfield along the rails, held up for clear running 450M-300M, stayed on but lacked the pace to seriously challenge.

Restrained behind midfield, 3-wide for much of the way, made some progress down the center of track without seriously threatening leaders. (Blood in trachea).

Settled 2-wide in mid-division, failed to quicken when driven out nearing 400M, not reached leaders.

Near the rear in 10th place, gave limited response turning into straight, flattened out final 200M.

Caught wide without cover from 12, taken back for cover and settled much further back than intended, fanned wide into straight but showed little and was done with around 200M.

Dropped back to a position near the rear, 4-5Ls behind leader, not quickened in straight, never threatened.

Restrained in the rear but proved difficult to settle, 6Ls off the pace 400M, had little to offer entering straight, no impression.
