Settled well in mid-division, barged his way through 100M to challenge, edged ahead close home.

Reserved behind midfield, into clear passing 300M, made gradual progress, unbalanced 100M when brushed by rival, just missed out in a close finish.

Settled down 3-wide behind midfield, brought wide into straight, ran on well to the line only narrowly denied by first 2.

Dropped back near the rear racing along the 3-path, closed off well down the outside, went 4th just before line.

Positively ridden, chased leader 2-wide on settling, kept finding the line well, led the field to 100M, outgunned late.

Crowded for room after the start, travelled keenly towards the rear, 4Ls to make up 400M, stayed on moderately, bumped by rival 100M and awkwardly placed near the finish.

Always in touch, had every chance turning in, faded final 100M.

Emerged as leader passing 900M, led at steady pace, responded well under pressure on straightening and only gave way late stages.

Began awkwardly, chased leaders 3-wide, still in contention when severely checked 100M, eased down.

From wide draw shifted across behind runners after the start, given waiting ride at the rear, commenced his run along inside but awkwardly placed behind rivals forcing rider to stop riding.

Taken back from wide draw, towards the rear 5Ls back, was closing off the race when severely checked 150M and lost his chance.

Up with the pace, tracked leaders home turn, commenced to weaken from 200M. (Jockey: couldn't offer explanation for poor performance.)
