Easter and Hiflight showed some temper at the start, and did not want to come up. Easter led off Hiflight second, Binette third; Modesty fourth. At the three-quarters the four were all lapped and even. Before reaching the stand Modesty had taken the lead and led Binette a length, she the same in front of Hiflight third. No change at the quarter, but before reaching the half Modesty led Hiflight ten lengths, Binette third, Easter fourth. Modesty came along and won in a big canter by six lengths in front of Binette third, Easter a bad fourth.
