WINNING OVATION

Prominent, gradually settled just over 2L back in 4th, some 4L back when pace quickened rounding home bend, made no impression from 3L 4th into straight. (Irregular heart rhythm)

Pressed forward from a wide barrier, lost cover 3-wide one back over 1000M out, quickened to hold some chance early in straight but could only keep on at the same pace inside final 200M and swamped for a placing late.

Broke well before settling just off the pace in 2nd on rail, angled out to challenge turning in for home holding every chance before finding no extra inside final 100M.

Average to begin, raced 2 wide towards rear, 5-1/2L back turning in, made good progress in straight without threatening the first few.

Made contact shortly after start, raced in 3rd, 2-3/4L back at 400M, hard ridden after passing 400M but only showed limited response, weakened final furlong.

Out with rest, raced 3 wide better than midfield early, 2 wide from 1050M, 2 to 3 lengths back turning in, one-paced in the run home.

Moderately away from gate 14, raced in midfield on the stands' rail, crowded near 450M, one-paced final 400M.

Made contact shortly after start, raced prominently on the stands' rail, peaked on run 300M, weakened final furlong.

Slightly slow out, raced behind midfield on the inside, saved ground on turn, showed limited response early in straight, weakened gradually inside final furlong. (See Racing Incidents.)
