Samuel Charles made all, set moderate pace, quickened over 2f out, hung right and carried head high over 1f out, driven out
Victor Trumper took keen hold, soon steadied towards rear, headway over 2f out, chased winner final furlong, edged left, always held
Hansomelle held up in rear, ridden 3f out, good headway over 1f out, one pace final furlong
Bandits Pistol held up in touch, ridden over 2f out, stayed on same pace
Valart took keen hold, chased winner until weakened 1f out
Cumae took keen hold, chased leaders, hard ridden over 1f out, weakened final furlong
Golden Spectrum behind, ridden 3f out, never reached leaders
Feelin Irie dwelt and hampered start, pulled hard and soon prominent, weakened quickly over 2f out
Cavallo Di Ferro chased leaders on rail, hard ridden over 3f out, soon weakened
Victor Trumper can win at this level as he should with the high rating he carries. He did it all wrong here, pulling hard in his blinkers and being pulled back to settle. He stayed on in the straight for a clear second, despite edging left.
Feeling Irie and Cumae, both in first-time visors, raced far too keenly to give themselves a chance.
