Spring At Last broke very well from the gate and was leading beside Nelore Pora followed by Killybegs. At the top of the stretch, these three were at the front while Mullins Bay came on the outside, along with Parole Board. The latter soon took control from Mullins Bay inside the final quarter, only for Spring At Last to find more in the final furlong, to win going away by 2 3/4 lengths in 1:36.16 over a fast track. It was another 1 1/2 lengths back from Parole Board to Mullins Bay in third.
