1 4 KIMBERLEY MINES (CA367) A Marcus -- Jumped fairly, soon pulled to the front 1000 M out, pinched rail near the 800 M. Asked to lengthen passing 300 M, quickly put plenty of daylight between itself and the field, very easily.
2 6 FLYING GENERAL (CB236) W C Marwing SR In front of midfield early, then settled 2 1/2Ls off pace 800 M out, wide without cover along back straight. Under pressure inside 400 M and ran on steadily to claim 2nd 100 M out though absolutely no threat to winner.
