Rainbow Ruby, Thunder Of Sky, Melrose Drive and Beautiful Ride collided on the first turn, checking Thunder Of Sky, Kept In Suspense and Beautiful Ride, and severely checking Melrose Drive. Rainbow Ruby checked off Beautiful Ride in the home straight. Beautiful Ride checked off Nitroniun approaching the winning post. 

Melrose Drive was vetted following the event. It was reported that there was no apparent injury found. 

Rosie Allen was vetted following the event. It was reported that the greyhound sustained an abrasion above the right eye. No stand down period was imposed. 

A pre race sample was unable to be obtained from Patch Lane, a post race sample was subsequently taken.

Stewards spoke to Mr. R. Niel, the catching pen attendant responsible for closing the catching pen gate lure flap; after it was established a greyhound came in contact with the catching pen gate when entering the catching pen following the event. After hearing submissions from Mr. Niel and watching the race vision along with several other races which Mr. Niel was not in control of the lure flap for comparison, Stewards established the lure flap was closed in an appropriate time and took no further action.
