Settled down 3-wide behind mid-division, switched wider home turn, finished off strongly down the outside and got the better of the runner up closing stages.

Settled ahead of midfield, in 4th spot 600M, closed off nicely on straightening, just failed to hold off winner in a driving finish.

From draw 1 obtained a midfield position along the fence, quickened up 300M and ran on well for 3rd.

Chased leader, fought hard under top weight passing 300M, briefly reached the lead 100M but was out-finished by first three closing stages.

Jumped only fairly, recovered to race behind midfield, 6Ls to make up 400M but gave limited response only. Not reach leaders.

Fast into stride and soon crossed to the lead, had 2Ls advantage top of the straight but run ended passing 150M and faded away.

Jumped only fairly, settled down behind midfield 5Ls back, ran home same pace over final 400M. Posed no threat to leaders.

Chased leaders in 3rd but found disappointingly little on straightening, dropped away rapidly mid-straight. (Jockey : resented the kickback and did not fully stretch out.)

Not hurried early stages, settled near last 10Ls off the pace, already beaten top of the straight. (Jockey : did not appreciate racing on the "Wet Slow" track conditions.)

Jumped awkwardly, did not show early pace and ended up detached last, over 10Ls to make up 400M but failed to run on. (Jockey : did not appreciate racing on the "Wet Slow" track conditions.)

From draw 12 caught racing wide no cover in midfield, came under serious pressure 600M, soon weakened and finished tailed out. Unacceptable Performance.
