Began fairly before improving quickly to position just behind leading pair at the 800m. Followed leader and was not far away on cornering before making late closing ground over the final 150m.

Eased back & across behind runners and was ridden up in middle sections to maintain position around 6 lengths from lead at the 400m mark. Moved out wider on straightening and made some late ground without threatening winner.

Was away well but didn't have the early speed of others and settled in midfield around 3 lengths from lead on the rail. Stayed close to the rail on cornering and tried hard in the final section and wasn't beaten far.

Shifted and bumped at the start and subsequently ridden up to hold midfield position in early stages. Was 4L from lead in cornering and was only even in the run to the line. Sustained over reach wound to front right leg.
