Raced just worse than midfield away from the rail in early & middle stages. Eased wider at the 500m, cruised to lead at the 275m mark under no ridding, drew clear to win very impressively & had much more in reserve on line.

Raced in fifth position when in the clear for most of the middle stages. Was passed by winner at the 275m but moved to second soon after, tried hard all the way to the line & was 2L clear of third but was no match for winner.

Raced in midfield away from the rail throughout. Shifted wider on straightening, entered last section about 3L from the lead, closed off to third place at the 125m & held that position, albeit 4L behind on the line.

Steadied, shifted across behind runners after start before settling worse than midfield along the rail. Moved off the rail on straightening when just over 4L from lead, finished off ok late to just miss third.

Bumped at start & then raced worse than midfield between runners. Continued rearward & over 5L from the lead on straightening before making some late ground when running onto well beaten fifth from the back.

Steadied from wide gate & taken back to last. Continued last & 6.5L from the lead entering last section before shifting outwards near the 300m & passing a number of tiring rivals when running onto well beaten midfield finish.

Was steadied in the early stages & raced keenly before being left three deep without cover when worse than midfield. Continued to race wide around bend, passed a few late but was still well behind winner.

Raced prominently early before being steadied near the 1300m & racing 4th but well behind lead after first two went clear. Moved closer to lead near 650m, peaked 175m, over-run in late stages to be well beaten into midfield.

Raced third along the rail but well behind the lead after the first two pulled clear of the remainder in middle stages. Moved closer to lead at 600m, moved off rail at 500m, was weak in final 250m, well beaten into midfield.

Pushed forward to lead before being challenged from 1200m & disputing lead for most of the middle stages when the first two raced 5L clear of third. Emptied at the 275m & weakened quickly late. Rider questioned, see report.

Drifted back after the start & raced second last. Stayed nearer to the inside on straightening when about 6L behind but did little in the straight & weakened to be beaten just under 9L.

Not bustled at start but improved position gradually along the rail in the first 300m to race in midfield for the majority. Ridden along before straightening when only 3L behind before weakening poorly to be beaten over 11L.
