Jumped well from draw 1, restrained to race just ahead of midfield, switched out nearing top of straight and closed off strongly to lead inside 150M, well in control late.

Settled in a 2-wide spot ahead of midfield, taken wide for his challenge nearing 400M, stayed on well and just couldn't match winner's pace final 150M.

Not hurried, settled towards the rear in a race run at even tempo, ran on steadily turning for home, got up for 3rd nearing 50M.

From draw 9 dropped back to race near last, 6Ls to make up 400M, picked up strongly over final 200M to be nearest at the line, just missed 3rd.

Held up behind mid-division 4-5Ls back, taken wide into straight, ran on mildly final 300M, no threat to first 4.

Chased leaders 2-wide, loomed a threat passing 300M, challenged for the lead mid-straight, not pace of rivals closing stages.

Began only fairly, restrained in midfield, raced keenly after 650M, kept up with rivals early straight, got held up 150-100M and lost every chance.

Began fairly, recovered to race behind leaders, well placed to strike turning in, chased on well early straight but was out-finished final 150M. (Jockey concerned his horse's action pre-race.)

Crowded for room at the start, taken back to last, 5-6Ls to make up turning for home, made non threatening progress final 300M.

Positively ridden, crossed to the lead 1000M and set even tempo, fought on early straight before being caught by rivals 150M, no extra late stages.

Settled down 3-wide in midfield, wide no cover from 900M, widest into straight, failed to finish off.

Strolled forward to track leader one out one back, lacked further response from 350M, weakened to finish last. (Jockey : horse would not relax outside the lead.)
