Broke well, hard ridden to hold rail, settling 4L from leader passing 1200m. Hampered passing 500m, badly blocked for run top of straight, got split 330m, powered home final 200m to win on line.

Hard ridden from outside draw but failed to muster, dropping to rear. Allowed to roll forward from 900m, entered straight 4-wide, took over lead 300m and looked the winner until run down final strides.

Jumped well, then ridden to hold midfield position close to rail. Got shuffled back passing 800m, crowded for room 500m, switched out 300m to pass tiring rival, finished strongly only to fail narrowly.

Began fairly, shifted in for cover, settling one-out towards rear. Raced tight passing 1000m, swung wide entering straight, taken to centre track, finished strongly under the whip to just miss a placing.

Jumped OK, pressed forward inside pacemakers to hold rail before slipping into slipstream of leader passing 900m. Rolled forward top of straight to look a chance 300m but swamped by several rivals final 50m.

First out, pressed forward to share pace before settling one-out 2L from leader 900m. Three-wide into straight, rolled forward to lead momentarily 300m, battled on gamely final 200m.

Away nicely, not pushed, racing one-out in midfield 4L from leader. Hampered 500m, switched out turning for home, made some progress to 200m before turning one-paced.

Slow into stride and distant last on settling. Closed in around home turn and ran on fairly in straight.

Jumped OK, taken in for cover, dropping to rear along rail. Made up some ground around home turn but only one-paced in straight.

Began awkwardly, ridden to obtain forward position but held 3-wide without cover 3L from leader. Covered extra ground around turn, kept on fairly to 200m before tiring.

Hard ridden to hold forward position before taking lead passing 1200m and crossing to fence 900m. Unbalanced passing 400m, overtaken 350m, faded.

No early speed and soon 3-wide at rear but with cover. Travelled well to straight when came under pressure and weakened. Stewards ruled performance unacceptable.

Jumped with field, hard ridden to stay with pace but kept wide. Allowed to slide forward from midfield to race outside leader from 800m but spent force on straightening and dropped out quickly. Unacceptable performance.
