Shortly after the start, UDDER BRILLIANCE (B. Stewart) shifted out and made contact with WHAT A LANDING (C.Spry), which in turn shifted out and bumped the hind quarters of THEBAREFOOTBUSHMAN (R. Mason), which became unbalanced.

A post race veterinary examination of ATRIUMS, which compounded, failed to reveal any abnormalities.

1st – High Academy 2nd - Xlerate 3rd – Scenic Wells 4th - Adavale Hornet

ENTHUSIAST (M. Palmer) reared as the gates opened and lost considerable ground. ENTHUSIAST was then obliged to race wide for the majority of the event. Following the event, apprentice M. Palmer made application for ENTHUSIAST to be declared a non-runner. After viewing the video, stewards were satisfied that ENTHUSIAST had reared of its own volition as the start was effected, therefore deemed that the gelding had not been denied a fair start.

Approaching the 1200m., ENTHUSIAST (M. Palmer) had to be steadied when tightened for room by SCENIC WELLS (S. Galloway), which shifted in abruptly after being momentarily tightened by ATRIUMS (R. McMahon), which shifted in. Apprentice R. McMahon, rider of ATRIUMS, was advised to exercise more care in similar circumstances.

Shortly after straightening, XLERATE (B. Pengelly) shifted in and bumped ENTHUSIAST, which in turn shifted in and bumped the hind quarters of ENABLER (M. Cahill). As a result, ENTHUSIAST became unbalanced.
