Freedom and Cracksbot were tbe first to break tbe line, and as they came on to the old corner the pair were well clear of Dudu, with Wolverine pulling double coming next, while Whisper and Jet d'Eau were at the bead of the second division, and Kotuku whipping in. There was no material change in these positions as they passed the stand and swept round the turn at Cutts', but racing towards Ford's Freedom and Crackshot Biio>iMy increased their advantage. Dudu was a good length in front of Wolverine, and Whisper with Kotuku and St. Andrew tailing off. Before reaching tbe six furlongs post the leaders took closer order, and at the kennels Freedom and Crackahot were evidently iv trouble, Wolverine at the same time taking command.

Just above the distauce Freedom and Crackshot fell back hopelessly beaten. In the next dozen strides Jet d'Eau and Whisper followed suit, leaving Wolverine striding along in front of Dudu, with Occident and Whisper several lengths away.
