Began well from a tricky draw, prominent on outer, raced wide and without cover until near 600M, positioned 2 wide, 2 lengths back in the middle stages, kept on evenly in straight.

Incident Report
Shifted out abruptly at the start.

Taken back from gate 11, raced towards rear on the outside, 7 lengths back turning in, finished off very strongly to take 2nd, nearest finish.
