Tauimau was favourite, but ho dropped out after being prominent to the home turn. Aussie Ha was second choice, but after being third into the straight he dropped out of tho picture. CouJiseation and Blue Tiger set the pace past tho stands with Chaste, Glenvane and Tnurnau next. Going into the back Blue Tiger had charge fromTaumau with Conliscation, Chaste and Wyndale following, and this order was the same at the far -■turn, whero Evasion had commenced to move forward from the rear of the field.

W'hen the barrier was released Lacey got caught up in tho tapes and, swinging round, ho tipped'his jockey over the fence and into the plantation. ißodylinc was the early leader; 'from BazainC . but within a fiirlong. Bazaine was in front, and they led across tho top well clear of Weather Step, ahead of Lord Mout.oa and Terry. Body lino was within easy ; distance of Bazaine when they ran to the straight, and as soon as heads were turned for home he ran past Bazaino and went ,on to win easily by a couple of lengths. There was a good tussle for second. Weather Step tackled aud headed Bazaine, but Terry came with a late run to beat Weather Step by half .a length. Bazaino was fourth, followed by Lord Moutoa.
