Tracked leader along the 2-path, took over top of straight, was strongly challenged final 200M, drifted out under pressure but fought courageously to hold on. (Protest from 2nd overruled.)

Assumed a midfield position, driven wide 550M to challenge, quickened up well to challenge eventual winner from 200M, fought neck to neck in closing stages, just held. (Protested on winner overruled.)

Held up behind midfield 6Ls off pace, saved ground along rail, improved to be 3Ls behind 400M, closed off well to be nearest at the finish.

Dropped back to race near the rear, crept closer home turn to be just over 4Ls off leader at 400M, stayed on moderately for non-threatening 4th.

Restrained behind midfield, brought wide into straight and kept on evenly to the line, not reach first 3.

Dropped back from wide barrier, 7-8Ls towards the rear on settling, went for inside run on straightening, held up to 300M then stayed on moderately to line. (Jockey questioned re his ride in the straight.)

Well away and worked forward to 1L lead on fence, headed 350M, faded away.

Jumped on terms, restrained from draw 12 to be 10th on settling, 6Ls off the pace making home turn, made limited progress only.

Up with early pace, reined back to be 5th making home turn, lacked a strong finish when asked, one paced over final 200M.

Bumped at the start, chased leaders along fence, couldn't go on inside 300M, faded towards the line.

Dropped back to be the back-marker almost 10Ls back in middle stages, moved a bit closer home turn, plodded on at same pace, never threatened.

Switched off to be 2nd last on settling, 8Ls off the pace middle stages, failed to run on in straight.

Never better than midfield, swung wide for home from 550M, couldn't come on, never threatened.

Caught 3-deep without cover from wide barrier, moved closer to pace passing 1000M, run ended soon after straightening, weakened to last.
