soon raced in second, hit 4 out, outpaced by winner after 2 out, lost one place approaching bend before last, weakening when pressed for position towards finish

never better than midfield, no chance with leaders from 2 out, kept on, just denied third towards finish

towards rear, some headway after last, kept on, just denied fourth towards finish

never better than midfield, tailed off from 2 out

always towards rear, tailed off before 2 out
