Began well before shifting across one horse from rail near the 700m. Raced in fourth, 5 lengths behind tear-away leaders at the 600m. Moved up to assume lead at the 200m before drawing away late for easy victory.

Couldn't gather speed & drifted back worse than midfield. Lay outward making the turn in middle section before balancing up 7L from lead in straight. Made significant headway last section but winner was too far clear.

Began awkwardly before mustering speed to race third on rail some 3 lengths behind fast leaders at the 800m. Moved up to share lead at the 200m mark but couldn't go with winner in last furlong.

Had no speed in the early stages and consequently raced at the tail. Three lengths behind second last horse and 9 lengths from lead at 800m. Conceded huge margin at top of straight before making good headway in last 250m.

Had nice midfield position, four lengths from lead after first section. Hampered near the 700m and lost position, consequently conceding nearly 8 lengths on corner. Made some headway in straight but wasn't a threat.

Raced in midfield hard on the rail. Stayed close to the inside and conceded 5.5 lengths on cornering and effectively maintained that margin in the run to the line.

The slowest into stride and consequently raced rearward, some 7 lengths from the lead at the 800m. Continued to race rearward approaching the corner before passing a few late but not threatening.

Had speed to lead out wide before shifting across at 800m, sharing lead. Raced head-to-head with co-leader setting up 3L margin nearing corner. Joined at 200m before weakening. Rider questioned- considerable mid-race margins.

Began awkwardly before mustering early speed to challenge for lead. Shared lead approaching the 800m before challenged in middle section setting up 3L margin to third horse. Joined at 200m and weakened out late.

Hard ridden at start but had no early speed and raced at the rear of the main bunch. Lost further ground in second section, cornering last, and 10 lengths from lead. Didn't run on in straight.

Strode forward to good position early, away from rail in first four. Cornered awkwardly at the 700m and lost ground. Hard ridden from the 600m when continuing to lose position. Well back on corner & gave further ground late.

Raced worse than midfield away from rail. Was conceding substantial margin throughout, including over 8 lengths on straightening. Gave further ground in straight. Vet exam revealed blood in trachea & lame (right fore-leg).
