Improved after the start, raced prominently before being steadied near the 1500m & then racing 1,1, thereafter. Closed well to take the lead at 150m, won by 0.75L.

Raced in midfield along the rail for the majority. Was 3.5L from lead entering last section, moved off the rail on straightening, shifted outwards & had difficulty getting clear until near 100m, charged to second late.

Had a soft run along the rail just behind the leaders throughout. Improved to race on the leaders back from the 500m, stayed close to the rail in the straight, finished well to only be beaten 1.25L into third.

Raced third last along the rail in early & middle stages. Stayed near the inside at the 400m when about 6L from lead, improved into tight run near 200m, was making ground when struck on nose at 150m, closed to just miss 3rd.

Was wide out of straight first time before improving to share lead at 1050m. Led momentarily before again racing outside leader from 850m. Obtained outright lead on straightening, passed by winner 150m, fought well late.

Raced in midfield way from the rail throughout. Was just under 3L from the lead entering last section, finished off fairly to the line to finish in a bunch in midfield only beaten around 1.5L.

Pushed forward to lead, challenged in the lead near the 1050m, shared lead until regaining narrow outright lead near the 850m. Was immediately headed on straightening, battled away, and ultimately weakened into seventh.

Raced in midfield away from the rail throughout. Was 4L from the lead at the 400m mark, moved three wide at that stage, finished off only one paced to the line, no threat.

Shifted across behind runners & raced just worse than midfield away from rail. Steadied just before straightening when there was no run between rivals, was then held up until 150m, only tested final 100m, had some excuse.

Crowded after the start & then raced just worse than midfield along the rail. Moved off the rail approaching the 400m mark when 4.5L from the lead, did little in the straight & could only hold deficit to the line.

Drifted back after start & raced second last away from the rail. Was relegated to last near 600m, moved three wide with cover from 550m, the widest runner on straightening when next to last, failed to improve in straight.

From the outside gate was shifted back to last. Moved wider on the track near the 700m & was left without cover, improved to midfield near the 400m when 4L from lead, weakened in straight to be last.
