Always prominent just off pace, moved out to 3-wide striking position 600M, led 150M but have to fend off challenges from sides for a narrow victory.

Settled 3Ls off the pace in about 5th, travelled well, loomed a strong chance 200M, fought on well to line and was one stride short of catching the winner.

Broke well from inside draw, settled beautifully behind the leaders, responded well when guided to clear 250M, looked a chance but was out-battled by first 2 final stages, clear from rest.

Blundered badly on jumping, recovered to race in midfield 4Ls off the pace, saved ground on inside, stayed on moderately for non-threatening 4th.

Guided to a rail position, settled near the rear 6Ls off the pace, stayed on mildly down inside, no threat to first 3.

Soon led, took them along slowly early stages, taken over by rival back straight, in contention until 200M, faded towards finish.

Sent forward, caught 3-wide until reaching the lead 1000M, led one off the fence at good pace, headed 200M, weakened towards the line.

Held up near the rear, raced 3-wide for much of the trip, ran on mildly over final 300M, not reached contention.

Eased back from wide barrier, taken across behind runners, raced as the back marker over 6Ls away, had much to do turning in, made limited progress only.

Settled down 5Ls off the pace along the 2-path, swung widest for home, stayed on only fairly, no impression.

In mid-division, caught 3-wide from first turn, no cover from 1000M, gave ground in straight, eased towards the finish. (Jockey fined for weighing in 2 lbs overweight)
