Close up throughout, disputed early, soon led, headed narrowly 6 out, back on terms after 4 out, pushed clear into straight, soon pressed and hard ridden before last, driven clear run-in (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement in form shown, that gelding was having its 4th run in a month last time which in hindsight may have been a race too many in that space of time; consequently it was given a short break in anticipation that it may freshen it up which seemed to have worked)
Held up towards rear, pushed along in moderate 7th after 2 out, kept on under pressure from before last into never threatening 2nd near finish (op 14-1)
Raced in mid-division, close 3rd before 2 out, headway on outer to press winner into straight, ridden before last and weakened run-in, dropped to 3rd close home (op 14-1)
Chased leaders, 5th halfway, pushed along in 6th after 4 out, bad mistake next and almost unseated rider, dropped to mid-division and no danger from before 2 out (op 7-2)
Chased leaders early, weakened from before 5th and soon detached, tailed off when pulled up after 6th (trainer said gelding was found to be clinically abnormal post-race)
