Old Favourite Wins Again A good start saw the field settle down to the lead of Master Doon, Shining Armour, and Alloway, the rest strung out. Entering the back Shining Armour took the lead, and for a time there was little alteration. Master Doon then took the lead again from Shining Armour, Nukumai moving up ou third place, with Alloway next. Shining Armour disappeared and Nukumai gained a good position, and was galloping well. At the home bend Nukumai moved up to the lead, and Ngata made a short appearance, coming fast on the outside. Master Doon did not have a challenge left, and Alloway was making a good race of it, and entering the straight took the lead, but Nukumai came away again to win a great race, Alloway second, and Master Doon managing to keep third place, several lengths away.
