Had a ground saving trip along the fence, tracked pace from 700M, switched out nearing 400M, quickened to lead 200M, drew nicely clear at the finish.

Shoved to the lead soon after the break, led at a reasonable pace on soft going, unable to hold off winner 200M but continued on well to hold 2nd, clear from rest.

Never far off from leader 2-3Ls away, shaken up 450M, kept on steadily in the run to the line but couldn't reach first two.

About 3Ls behind leader, travelled 3-wide throughout, driven along 500M, stayed on moderately.

Reserved at the rear of the field, 5-6Ls of the pace middle stages, kept on to inside turning home, stayed on mildly, not reached first two.

Close up behind pace but 3-wide no cover throughout, kept on same pace final 350M. (Jockey dropped whip 150M)

Held up towards the rear, no closer than 3-wide throughout, bid widest 500M, stayed on fairly down outside, not reached leaders.

Began awkwardly, restrained in the rear 5-6Ls off the pace, ran on same pace final 400M, never a serious threat.

Held up behind mid-division, found disappointingly little inside 400M on soft going, never reached contention.

Held up in mid-division, saved ground on the inside, failed to go on passing 250M and dropped out. (Lame right fore)

Failed to slot in from draw 11, travelled wide without cover throughout, crept closer to pace middle stages but didn't respond to riding 500M out, soon gave ground.

Positively ridden out the gate, crossed from 12 to track leader, came under pressure rounding home turn, gave ground rapidly from 450M, finished tailed out. (Unacceptable Performance)
