Held up in 8th 4Ls off the pace, made early move 550M out, hit top gear mid-straight sweeping to the lead 100M out, kept on well to hold off a late challenge.

Taken across behind runners, given a waiting ride in last, peeled off the fence 400M, mounted a strong challenge outside the winner, ran his usual honest race, just held.

Settled down 2nd last, 5Ls off the pace 600M, moved closer over the home turn, tried hard to the line for minor honours but well held by first 2 over final stages.

Pressed forward and obtained the rail spot soon after the start, always prominent, led them into the straight, kept grinding when challenged, lost lead 100M, faded towards the line.

Towards the rear, quickly moved up along the fence passing 400M, held ground and lacked the winning dash over final 200M.

Settled down in midfield, ran on moderately on straightening, severely checked close home to avoid a fallen jockey and might have been 4th.

Chased leaders, awkwardly placed behind a weakening rival 400M and was steadied, failed to make an impression on straightening.

Chased leaders along the 3-path, no cover after 600M, responded briefly turning in, weakened 200M.

Close up behind leaders in a strongly run race, struggled to keep up home turn, couldn't get back to it and left behind by rivals passing 300M.

Pressed forward from wide draw, caught wide without cover until 600M, weakened passing 400M to finish tailed out. (Unacceptable Performance.)

Never far off from leaders, improved to 2nd inside 300M, tried hard in the run home but broke down 25M out and dislodged rider.
