Went straight to the front - stretched clear 3 out - gap narrowed approaching 2 out and driven along - overtaken at the last - stayed on for second
Held front spot until 7th - regained command at 9th and opened a gap approaching last two - drew away to score with ease
Struggled to hold a position from the off - fenced awkwardly at the 4th - dropped away at the back before being pulled up after the 8th
Settled towards the back early - improved to join the front group by the 9th - moved into second before 2 out but unable to close under pressure - drifted left approaching the last and lost momentum - stayed on to hold second
