Fought for control early - settled at the back - improved into mid-division after the 4th - pushed along after 3 out - unable to close before the last - kept going to the line finishing 4th
Settled just behind the pace early - shared front running around the 7th - pushed back into third with three left - asked for effort but found little and held on for third
Settled towards the rear early - pushed along in modest 5th with little threat approaching 2 out - couldn't quicken and faded to finish 6th
Shared the front early - sat in second through halfway before slipping backward after 3 out with nothing left to give - beaten a long way out and eased down before the final fence
