Awarere was squeezed back as the field moved off. There was little separating Town Bird, Billikins and Taku Tama over the first furlong, but Town Bird was well clear half a mile from home, with Billikins, Taku Tama, The Begum and Awarere in that order. When the straight was reached Town Bird still held a useful advantage and he lasted long enough to win by a head from Taku Tama, who was two lengths in front of The Begum, with Billikins and Awarere following. Time, lmin 15 2-ssecs.

Town Bird, who looked a lot improved by his racing at the Waikato meeting, showed sufficient speed in the early stages to establish a sufficient lead to prove equal to the call after his rider had nursed him approaching the home bend. Taku Tama finished well but Awarere was disappointing, despite his failure to go away well.
