Saved ground along the fence in midfield, caught up behind leaders early straight before switching out 250M, burst through late to get up last stride.

Moved up along the 2-path to be tracking leaders on settling, kept on well turning in, narrow lead 150M, nabbed last stride.

Emerged as leader passing 1000M, responded well under pressure on straightening, headed 150M, rallied and fought hard right to the line.

Lacked early pace, raced near the rear 3-wide, widest straightening worked home strongly to claim a close 4th. Nearest finish.

Behind midfield along the 3-path, never far off 3-4Ls off the pace, stayed on well late to be nearest at the finish. Sound effort.

Reserved 2-wide in mid-division, 3Ls off the pace 400M, couldn't get close enough to the leaders in the run home.

Taken back for cover, 2nd last making the turn for home and raced keenly 600M, 5Ls to make up top of straight, made minor headway to the line.

From draw 1 stayed close to the leaders along the fence, held ground on straightening then weakened 150M.

Went forward from wide draw early stages, restrained to a 3-wide spot chasing leaders in 5th, fought on one-paced over final 400M, never a serious threat.

Taken back to be last on the inside, 6Ls back on straightening, no clear run early straight, made some progress final 200M but steadied again 100M. (Jockey questioned re his ride in the Straight.)

Bustled along after the jump, crossed to race outside leader, held ground early straight, no extra and yielded his position 200M.

Held up in midfield, under the pump 550M, found nothing in the straight, eased final 150M when no chance.

Went forward under 10 lb. claimer, unable to cross from wide draw then dropped back to midfield, caught 4-wide no cover, tough run told mid-straight, weakened away. (Trainer questioned re riding tactics.)

Raced towards the rear after awkward start, keenly middle stages, didn't respond to riding and finished well down the track. (Jockey questioned re riding position.)
