Had a nice run on the leaders back for the majority. Was held up along the rail behind the leader for the first half of the straight, switched over heels at the 150m mark before charging to take lead in final three strides.

Pushed forward to race outside the leader. Moved up to take lead near the 150m, looked the winner before being run down in the final few strides.

Drifted back after the start & raced a clear second last. Was over 5L from the lead entering last section, stayed nearer the rail in the straight & closed well to charge to fast finishing third late.

Pushed forward to lead. Headed by the runner-up near the 150m mark, gave a few lengths in late stages but still held 4th on line.

Raced in midfield along the rail. Had clear running on straightening when moving off rail, was just over 3L from the lead entering last section, finished off steadily to be beaten a similar margin into midfield.

Crowded & lost ground after the start before shifting down to rail & improving to midfield. Stayed along rail on straightening when over 4L from lead, moved to 4th near the 250m but finished only moderately in last furlong.

Drifted back after start & raced third last in the clear. Travelled strongly near 600m when continuing rearward, shifted inwards on straightening when 6L behind, was making ground before being checked near 50m mark, ok late.

Raced in midfield away from the rail & was then between runners around the bend. Had clear running on straightening when just under 5L from lead, finished off only fairly to the line to be beaten a similar margin.

Had a nice run 1,1 in the middle stages. Was ridden along before straightening, was 3.5L from the lead entering last section, peaked on effort mid-straight & gave a few lengths thereafter.

Was trapped racing three wide, but with cover in midfield throughout. Eased wider just before straightening, was 5L from the lead entering last section but did little, weakening to be beaten over 7L.

Taken back from wide gate & raced a clear last after the start. Moved four wide with cover near the 600m, was last & the widest runner on straightening when over 7L behind, made no headway.

Raced just worse than midfield between runners in the early & middle stages. Clipped a heel, dipped & lost ground near the 700m, shifted outwards & bumped heavily on straightening, weakened badly in straight.

Raced three wide with cover when worse than midfield before drifting further back after the 1000m. Was then four wide no cover from about the 550m, was bumped heavily on straightening but then weakened very poorly thereafter.

Pushed forward but was left racing three wide outside the leaders early before coming a pair further back after the 1000m mark. Began losing ground before straightening & weakened badly, distant last (irregular heart rhythm).
