Settled behind midfield, in 9th spot making the turn for home, into clear 400M, ran on strongly to lead near 200M, soon well clear, eased closing stages.

Settled down 6th in mid-division, made good progress from 500M, no match for winner passing 200M, hung on for 2nd.

Not hurried, dropped back towards the rear, switched widest passing 500M, stayed on well to go 3rd near line, no impression on clear winner.

Reserved behind mid-division, saved ground on inside, not clear running early straight, stayed on moderately final 200M, got up for 4th last stride.

From wide draw crossed to a 2-wide spot passing 1100M tracking leader, briefly led 300M, out-finished over final 200M, edged out to 5th near line.

In touch behind leaders, kept on without threatening in the straight, not pace to challenge leaders.

Began only fairly, soon guided to the fence racing in a rearward position, switched out on straightening, stayed on fairly without threatening.

From draw 1 chased leaders in 4th, kept on same pace in straight, out of contention 200M.

From wide draw steadied to obtain cover, in last detached, 6Ls to make up 400M, ran on fairly when asked, held up or clear running final 100M.

Urged to take the lead, led uncontested, headed 300M, soon no extra and weakened away.

Unable to slot in, caught 3-wide behind midfield, couldn't finish off turning home. (Jockey : didn't travel as well as anticipated and always under pressure to maintain position.)

Chased the pace along the 3-path, wide no cover throughout the race, weakened rapidly passing 400M, eased when no chance. (Mucus.)
