Settled in the pack early - fifth approaching that point then blundered four out - dropped away before three out - held no chance late
Held up towards the back for much of the way - still back there with nothing to offer approaching the straight - dropped away and finished a distant last
Sat close to the pace early - 5th at halfway - moved up into 3rd before falling 2 out
Sat just behind the pace early - third at halfway - moved through smoothly to hit the front two out and opened a two length advantage before the last - driven out to stay on strongly for the win
