The deeper into the race, the bigger the lead, impressive all-the-way winner Ef Troop gave his four rivals no chance whatsoever. Bouncing away in second he soon grabbed the lead and passing the 800m put two lengths on them stretching out to three past the 600m and by five turning for home. Galloping strongly, he cruised clear and was out by seven or eight before being eased down at the line, maintaining his unbeaten record of two starts for two wins. Crockett pulled out before straightening, ran on but had no chance of gathering in the winner. Commissioner was a distant second turning in and batted away for third, a long way back.
