Worked over from wide draw, led on rail from 900M, kicked hard in straight and kept going strongly to hold off rivals.

Away well, held up in mid-division, took time to get going early straight, did best work final 200M, went 2nd close home, nearest finish.

Steadied to near the rear for cover, switched wide 650M getting closer, lay in early straight, responded well when straightened, continued to challenge the winner but failed to get the upper hand, lost 2nd late.

Pushed up to occupy a prominent rail position just behind leader, kept on steadily in the straight but always held.

Travelled keenly behind leaders, had every chance from 400M, stayed on mildly but came up flat final stages.

Pressed forward to be racing outside the leader, stayed in touch until mid-straight, faded over final 150M.

Chased early pace, settled ahead of midfield entering home turn, on straightening stuck to the inside, couldn't muster the speed to challenge leaders.

Began well from draw 1, restrained to race behind midfield 4Ls off the pace, kept on same speed in straight, never a threat to leaders (Jockey : did not feel comfortable in action / Lame next day.)

Slightly slow away, held up 5Ls towards the rear, ran on fairly final 400M, not reached leaders.

Began only fairly and settled near last, 5Ls behind leader 400M, lost every chance when severely checked 300M. Never in the picture.

Switched off to last 8Ls off the pace early stages, still 5Ls to make up 400M, didn't respond to riding.

Began awkwardly, not for off leaders but caught 3-wide no cover throughout, weakened away turning home.
