Flamberge led the small six horse field briefly as they jumped then sat outside Swinging Arms soon after, that order remaining the same until they straightened. Swinging Arms cornered the better and tried to break clear and gave the winner some fight but Flamberge gradually gathered Swinging Arms in with 200m to run but not without a fight, both hard ridden to the wire. Mandla tracked Flamberge into the straight and had to pull wider to make his run, not getting going until late in the run home, yet with every chance, the best of the rest for third.
