STEADY rain through the day saw slow going for the running of this 2400m event. Live By The Sword came across from the outside barrier of the 18 horse field to lead with a lap to go while Glen Boss had Bedouin back in 14th position and staying away from the rail. From the 600m point Bedouin steadily tracked into the race and pulled wide at the top of the straight to mount his challenge. Back in midfield Daneborogh was making steady progress on the inside of the field where he was forced to race due to having drawn the inside barrier. At the top of the rise Chris Munce had Daneborogh in a striking position and decided to make a beeline for the better going towards the outside of the track, severely hampering several runners.

Maintaining a straight course down the outside, Bedouin proved a little too strong at the finish holding off Daneborogh to win by 0.4 length. Bodie, who had been patiently ridden in last position, finished the race very strongly for third.
