Handily placed behind leaders in a slowly run race, well placed to strike 350M, moved up to the fore 200M, went head to head with rival, kept coming under pressure for narrow win.

Caught very wide first turn before getting to a one out one back position, quickly raced to the lead 300M, joined by winner 200M and went head to head to the line, just missed.

Began fairly, pushed wide 1300M when pace slackened, remained in 2nd last to straight, did best work final 200M and rapidly closing on leaders, just came up short.

Raced tight entering 1st turn, severely checked 1300M and pushed wide, ended up in last 8Ls off leader, peeled widest 400M, raced up strongly to be nearest at the finish.

Caught wide first turn before settling down in midfield along the 2 path, 3Ls to make up 400M, closed off steadily to get within 0.5L of winner in a blanket finish.

Began awkwardly, not hurried and settled down near the rear 6Ls off the slow pace, brought wide and closed off well over final 300M, nearest finish.

Held up in 8th behind midfield in a slowly run race, saved ground along the rails, driven out 300M and made some ground along the inside but never really threatening.

Sent forward, emerged as leader 1100M and took them along steadily, lost lead 300M, kept on effort to 150M, swamped late.

Crossed to the lead 1300M, chased pace in 3rd from 1100M, under pressure 500M, ran on one paced to the finish.

Pushed along after the jump, severely checked 1300M proved difficult to settle from that point, 5Ls to make up 400M, not pace to seriously challenge. (Unacceptable Racing Manner.)

Jumped well from draw 1 to be 3-4Ls back in midfield, fought on same pace turning in, faded 50M to last but not beaten far.
