Allsoi started : 1 Kingcraft, scr • 7 Kohara, 24; 12 Prince Pointer, 36 (bracketed with Logan Park); 4 Padlock, 48. Kingcraft, the favourite, stood on the mark and 'lost nearly 100 yards before lie went off. He caught the field at the mile and a-quarter, but the effort told and only for .a moment did he look dangerous. Logan Park took the lead early and was setting a fairly slow pace until Padlock, who began quickly, challenged 1 and speeded up the field. Logan Park led into the straight, where Peter Bingen made his run, caught the leader and passed him in a 'brilliant burst and ran home a safe winner by two* lengths. Dundas Boy, who ran a good race, was third five lengths away, and Imprint was a length further back, with Kohara fifth. Times, 4.18 4-5, 4.22, 4.23 4-5.
