Eka Pai had shown brilliance at Te Rapa recently and In view of liis good showing on Saturday his price was, definitely, a raise one.

There was not change in the order at the hall-mile and Trevace led into the straight from Noisy Night, Tahiti, Bronze Moth and Eka pai, with Vaalsstar and Nordic Song next Eka Pai finished very well to win by three parts or a length from Bronze Moth, with Vaalsstar hall-a-length away third.

Esteem was slow to move and Erinatlon led over the first furlong rrom Pyrenees, Agog and All Irish.
