Courageous slow as usual to get into his stride, saw Kindle and Carinthia hop out smartly from Grand National, but when they had settled down Freeze Out was making play from King Mart and Kindle. Crossing the top Volplane joined Freeze Out, and the pair turned into the straight ahead of King Mart, Carinthia and Closefire, with Maui making a run, and Marjoram a long way back. At the distance Maui was up with King Mart, with Marjoram coming from the ruck. King Mart then drew out to win nicely by a length, the outsider Marjoram heading Maui on the post.

Bisox Beats Nukumai Nukumai failed to account for the late challenge put in by Bisox in the Parliamentary, the weight stopping him. Black Mint was slo wto move. Kilmoyer, Kilperon, Queen Arch, Ring Boy and Nukumai was the order early in the piece, and at the six furlongs Kilmoyer ler from Nukumai, Kilperon, Ring Boy, Queen Arch, Royal Mint and Bisox. Turning for home Kilmiss had charge from Royal Mint, Ring Boy and Nukumai. At the false rail it looked as if Ring Boy would pull through, but lie was actually the first one beaten. Then Nukumai took charge at the distance, and when looking all over a winner Bisox came with a rattle to beat him by half a length. Three and a-half lengths away was Ring Boy, with Royal Mint and Black Mint at the head of the remainder, Paitonu being the last to cross the line. The winner paid a double-figure dividend.
