Driven to take the lead soon after the start, took them along steadily, kicked away well by 2L passing 300M, led all the way.

Tracked leaders in 4th, 2Ls behind leader at 400M, moved up to 2nd 200M, tried hard to reel in winner but ran out of ground.

Jumped on terms and settled ahead of midfield 4Ls back, into clear 250M, stayed on to go 3rd nearing 50M but well held by first 2.

Began well tracking leader along the 2-path, had every hope inside 300M, peaked on his run 150M and fading towards the line.

Urged along early to take up a midfield spot along the 2-path, inclined to lay out during race, 4Ls off at 400M and proved difficult to ride in straight, kept on steadily without troubling first 3.

Not hurried on jumping from wide barrier, settled down behind midfield 5Ls off, brought widest 350M, stayed on without threat.

Failed to muster speed despite ridden along, shuffled back to a position behind midfield 6-7Ls off the pace, made limited progress up the rail final 300M, never likely.

Began awkwardly and lost ground, ended up behind midfield in 8th, 6Ls to make up 400M, made no real progress over final 300M.

Began fast to be 3rd 3Ls behind leader, struggled to hold ground in the run home, weakened mid-straight.

Taken back to near the rear from a wide draw, raced keenly down the back straight, had plenty to do 400M, not quickened.

Dropped back to a rearward spot 8Ls behind leader, couldn't pick up ground entering straight, no impression.

Taken back from widest barrier, always at rear, eased off when well beaten 200M. (Irregular Heart Rhythm / Bled / Lame next day.)
