Sat close to front pack early - moved into 5th approaching 2f out then pressed for effort but couldn't quicken - stayed on same gear from final furlong to finish 5th
Shared front spot early - sat second before losing position after being knocked sideways on the turn nearing halfway - moving into 4th with 3f left - onto 3rd and closing inside final furlong - level for front spot with 150 yards to run - went in front approaching final 100 yards - stayed on strongly to score
held up towards the back - asked for effort 2f out - driven into 8th 1f out and stayed on in the final furlong
handy early - hit the front at the 3rd - overtaken before the 7th - second for a spell - third 4 out - soon dropped away - faded without ever threatening - was eased and pulled up approaching 3 out
