THE FINAL

Grey Raca was deemed to hold a favourites chance from trap 3, but it was Davesland who led from the traps and had built up a good lead by the first bend. He ran on strongly throughout and easily prevailed by 2 lengths from the favourite, Grey Raca. It was left to Wild Woolley, contesting his third, and last, final to run on to gain third spot a further length behind.
