Sat behind the leading two early - moved up to second by the second fence - driven out after two out but unable to match winner's pace and weakened on the run to the line
Tracked the pace early - moved into second before 3 out and closed on the front-runner comfortably 2 out - roused to hit the front approaching the last - stayed on strongly to win
Up with the early pace - mistake at the 3rd - pressed into second after 3 out - struck the front 2 out and hard at work - challenged at the last - held on into the run-in before just touched off - far ahead of the remainder
Went straight to front - stretched clear 3 out - pushed along and margin narrowed before 2 out - battled on run-in but caught close home for second
