the long run to the second-last flight spread the pack out with slim pickings taking the fence just ahead of silver birch. at the last, silver birch landed just in front and began to get away from slim pickings on the long run-in. at the elbow, silver birch began to labour and slim pickings fought back, with mckelvey finishing best. the finishing post came just in time for silver birch to win by three-quarters of a length, with mckelvey second by one-and-a-quarter lengths. slim pickings finished third, fifteen lengths in front of fourth placed philson run.
