Heavily restrained behind the pace, raced keenly middle stages, improved to outside leader 250M, knuckled down with determination, gained upper hand 100M, held sway to the line fending off a late challenge.

Given a waiting ride 5Ls off the pace, closed off strongly down outside, held by diminishing neck.

Restrained in a 2-wide spot in mid-division, held up 300M-150M behind leaders, let down well when clear and went 3rd before line. Unlucky.

Settled down in midfield along the 3-path, found the line well on his AWT debut, nearest finish.

Strode forward to race just outside leader, gained narrow lead inside 350M, soon pressed by eventual winner, fought on to 100M, no extra and weakened to 5th late.

Never far off the pace but caught wide no cover from draw 12, within striking distance passing 350M but failed to make ground on leaders, well held over final 150M.

Quickly crossed to the rail, always prominent, difficult to settle when crossed by rival 700M, couldn't find another gear turning in, no clear run final 100M but already out of contention.

Positively ridden from the beginning, crossed to the lead 700M, outsprinted by rivals passing 300M, weakened noticeably final stages.

Recovered from a slow start to race behind mid-division, failed to make progress on his AWT debut over inadequate trip.

Dropped back to near the rear, ran on steadily when driven 400M, had no clear run final 100M and could have been closer.

Sluggish away, well off the pace early stages, last of 12 turning in but couldn't kick away, never likely.

Crossed to a 3-wide spot behind midfield, swung widest into straight but couldn't pick up pace on his AWT debut.
