Ridden forward to lead. Challenged momentarily in the lead down the back straight before striking over a length clear near half-way. Continued on in the straight to win by over a length.

Began fast before allowing winner to cross to the front at first bend. Raced third along the rail in middle stages, moved to second place at 250m, battled on well to be clear of third but was never going to get to leader.

Raced in midfield away from the rail. Was just over 4L behind approaching corner, lay inwards in final stages when closing well, was not ridden out final few strides but was still able to steal well held third on line.

Didn't begin fast & got back to race worse than midfield along rail. Was 6L from the lead entering the final section, stayed nearer the inside on straightening before halving deficit when finishing off steadily to the line.

Raced 1,1 from soon after the start. Was 3L from the lead entering final section before pretty much maintaining that deficit all the way to the line.

Began well & pushed forward after start, challenged for lead at the first bend when racing away from the rail. Steadied passing the 800m to be over a length behind at 600m. Weakened a few lengths in the straight to midfield.

Bumped at the start before racing just worse than midfield between runners. Shifted out to be the widest runner after straightening before running on only moderately to finish in midfield on line.

Raced in midfield along the rail throughout. Was ridden along from the 450m when about 5L behind, stayed nearer the inside in the straight but failed to make any headway & was passed by a few others late.

Shifted back after the start to race at the tail. Moved off the rail near the 400m when 7.5L from the lead before making up a few late lengths but could only hold midfield finish (epiglottic entrapment again).

Steadied from widest gate & taken back to race at the tail. Raced between runners when trying to improve near 600m, had only two rivals behind on straightening, was finishing off only fairly before having no clear run late.

Raced three wide with cover near the tail. Was relegated to last near the 600m, was a long way behind on straightening before weakening further to be a long second last.

Raced three wide without cover when just worse than midfield in early & middle stages. Drifted further back around 600m bend & was soon a long second last. Was eased out of the race by rider in the straight & was long last.
