Steadied to race in last on jumping, remained patiently handled until reaching top of straight, responded strongly under confident riding, moved clear late to score 3rd win of the season.

Reserved behind midfield, made 3-wide move 700M, caught wider homme turn, ran on willingly on straightening to claim 2nd near line.

From draw 1 soon established the front and led steadily under 10lb claimer, back in 2nd spot from 1000M before regaining the lead 500M, kicked on well early straight, caught near 100M, lost 2nd close home.

From draw 4 obtained a midfield spot along the fence, held up for clear running rounding the home turn before closing off moderately in the straight, just missed 3rd.

Crowded for room on jumping, restrained to race near the rear 6Ls off leader, 3-wide move from 700M getting closer to leaders, offered a mild response final 300M down outside of straight.

Settled just off the inside tracking in close range of the leader, moved out 500M to issue a challenge, fought on same pace to the line, held by leaders final 200M.

Slow to begin as usual, held up towards the rear before making a quick forward move 700M, rallied 4-wide home turn, battled on to 100M, no extra late.

Held up behind mid-division, saved ground on the turns, shuffled back to the rear 600M, gave limited response in straight passing tired rivals only.

Chased leaders early before settling down ahead of midfield, held up for some distance nearing 400M but unable to make an impact in the run home. (Jockey questioned re riding tactics.)

Settled down in midfield, shuffled back to a rearward spot passing 700M, soon pushed along, made no headway to the finish.

Moved up to track the pace, pushed out to a 3-wide spot without cover from 800M, dropped away turning for home.

In midfield early stages, improved to the lead 1100M after racing wide without cover, lost lead 500M, weakened rapidly to finish last.
