At the 800 metres SILENT CHARADES (T. O'Hara) shifted in and tightened the running of LADY BULLMORE (App. A. Taylor), which had to be steadied, and then shifted out, forcing STARDUST WARRIOR (R.

T.O’Hara was reprimanded and advised to exercise more care when shifting ground.

Near the 650m SIDE EFFECT (C.Pye) improved onto the heels of LADY BULLMORE and had to be steadied.

Near the 150 metres SIDE EFFECT was disappointed for a run between LADY BULLMORE and STARDUST WARRIOR, both of which shifted ground.

SOUTHSIDE (N. Patchett) was held up and unable to obtain clear running from the 100 metres and went to the line without being fully tested.

Near the finishing line STARDUST WARRIOR shifted in, bumped RIDE LIKE THE WIND (J. P. Stanley) and became unbalanced. In this incident R. Faehr's right elbow accidentally made contact with the body of J. Stanley.
