Tracked leaders in a steadily run race, inclined to lay out 750M, got split 400M, moved up quickly to take the lead at 150M, kept finding to hold pursuers at bay.

Jumped evenly, never far off the pace and saved ground along the fence, held up behind leader 400M to 200M, challenged winner up the rail final stages but held.

Towards the rear along the 2-path, 4Ls off leader 400M, awkwardly placed early straight, chased strongly once into clear 250M, went 3rd just before line.

Positively ridden, crossed to the rail before turn sharing the lead at steady pace, collared by winner inside 200M, failed to hang on but kept battling to the finish, lost 3rd last stride.

Unable to slot in from draw 10, caught 4-wide no cover chasing leaders, on straightening kept on mildly for 5th off a tough run.

Dropped back to the rear, brought wide 550M, ran on well down outside making ground final 200M but was unable to reel in leaders.

Slowly away, held up at the rear 4-5Ls off the steady pace, saved ground on the inside but failed to make appreciable ground passing 400M.

From widest draw crossed to race just outside leader, kept on until 200M, was outsprinted from there.

Up with leaders early then restrained for cover, crowded for room 750M and lost ground further 600M, just plugged to the line, no impression. (Jockey: failed to run on due to crowding in mid-stages. / Mucus.)

From draw 5 ended up in a 3-wide midfield spot on settling, held ground in the straight, no real impact.

Pushed up to be prominent outside leaders, remained wide no cover to straight, swamped by rivals passing 300M, weakened out of contention. (Jockey dropped whip 200M.)

Restrained near the rear, 3-wide making the turn for home, just over 3Ls to make up turning in but did nothing in the straight and failed to improve.
