Pressed forward, enjoyed uncontested lead, quickened clear 300M, kept on strongly to maintain a dominant margin at the finish.

From wide draw steadied early stages to obtain cover, towards the rear, brought wide into straight, closed off well to go 2nd near line, not reached winner.

Held up 2-wide in midfield 5-6Ls off the pace, pushed along 550M, stayed on mildly for 3rd, no threat to runaway winner.

Never far off the pace, stayed on mildly final 400M for non-threatening 4th.

Tracked leader (the eventual winner), driven out 400M, fought on steadily, held 2nd to 50M, lost several places late.

Raced in mid-division, 3-wide no cover during race, made home turn awkwardly and raced greenly under pressure in the straight, kept on final 300M without threat.

Never better than midfield, 5Ls to make up top of straight, failed to make progress.

Settled down behind mid-division, had rail run, not going the pace to challenge in straight, made no impression.

Chased leader 2-wide, kept on same pace early straight, weakened final 250M.

Bumped at the start, shifted across behind runners, held up last almost 10Ls behind leader, ran past beaten horses in straight, never near to challenge.

Failed to muster speed, raced near the rear 8Ls back, struggled from 500M, never involved.

Crowded for room on jumping, held up behind midfield 7Ls off the pace, wide into straight, couldn't finish off.

Saved ground from draw 1, moved up to 5th at 800M, kept on same pace early straight, got badly unbalanced when bumped with rival 200M, eased. (Jockey : may not have appreciated racing at the prevailing track surface.)

Settled behind midfield, commenced to lay out from Home Turn, bumped with rival several times 200M-150M and became badly unbalanced, eased towards the line. (Mucus.)
