Third early before settling in fourth, cruised up to press leaders 2f out and led soon after, pushed out and stretched clear

Dwelt but soon recovered to lead, pushed along over 2f out, stayed on well for pressure but no match for winner and just hung on to second

Raced in fourth until headway into second after 6f, pressed leader 2f out, stayed on but not pace of winner and just failed for second

Tracked leader until dropped to third after 6f, pushed along over 3f out and could only stay on at same pace

Went right start and settled at rear, asked to take closer order 3f out, under pressure over 2f out, unable to quicken
