Not hurried after the start, settled in midfield along the fence in a fast run race, 3Ls to make up top of straight, made good progress to be leading inside 50M, kept on well to the line.

Chased leader early, eased back to 4th 850M, pressed on home turn, responded well to be vying for the lead mid-straight, held by winner final stages.

Emerged as leader passing 1400M, set fast pace in the lead, kept on well in the straight, caught by first 2 near 50M.

Taken back from wide draw, 8Ls back at the rear in a fast run race, plenty to do turning in, closed off fastest to go 4th near line.

Chased leaders early before settling down in midfield, hampered by weakening rival 450M, stayed on mildly over final 300M, couldn't reel in leaders.

Eased and taken across behind runners, held up towards the rear, headway form 500M along inner, boxed on fairly in the straight and always held by leaders.

Began well from gate 2, chased leader along the fence, pressed along 500M, kept battling to hold his position early straight, faded final 150M.

From draw 10 shifted across behind runners, towards the rear always, made some progress in the straight but never reached contention.

Travelled 3-wide in mid-division, lost cover entering back-straight, took closer order passing 700M, peaked on its run 200M, no extra final stages.

Towards the rear, ended up as the back-marker from 800M, struggled to get going in the straight, never involved. (wound to the left hind fetlock.)

Settled behind midfield 6Ls off the pace, pushed wide home turn, couldn't quicken when asked, eased final 100M when no chance.

Caught wide no cover from 1400M, strode forward to be closer to the rail after 1000M, under pressure 600M, gave way rapidly to finish last, tailed out. (RH fetlock and stifle being struck into.)
