Broke well, settled just off the pace, soon hit the front after the 400 metres and soon drew over 1L clear, just held on to the line.

Settled in last few, snuck up on the rail rounding home bend, inconvenienced after straightening, ran on under pressure to be nearest at finish.

Niggled at early along the rail improving gradually to close-up 4th rounding home bend, gained 3rd into the straight and 2nd passing the 300 metres, kept on steadily but caught for 2nd inside the final 100 metres.

Travelled keenly in better than midfield, drifted back to just worse than midfield in 8th rounding home bend, shifted wide into the straight, ran on steadily without threatening. (Lame next day)

Travelled wide in midfield or just better, came from 4-wide to within 2L of lead turning in, unable to sustain effort closing stages.

Settled in rear from a wide gate, saved ground on the inside turning in, sustained progress down the home straight without threatening.

Well there, took up running after the first 400 metres, led the field until headed after straightening, folded up quickly.

Jumped awkwardly losing ground, tailed-off in back straight, commenced move rounding home bend and widest runner turning in, went past well-beaten horses early in straight.

Held up in prominent position, about 2L off the pace in 5th rounding home bend, found nothing under pressure after straightening.

Settled in last few, made no impression the run home.

Ridden from a wide gate to be prominent 3-wide, dropped away quickly after straightening.
