Minter Sparkle was slow to begin.  Diama Miss and Wee Gem collided on the first turn checking Rall's Girl.  Victory Chase and Minter Rise collided on the home turn.  Wee Gem checked off Minter Sparkle on the home turn.

Minter Rise underwent a post-race veterinary examination -  no apparent injury was reported.

After the finishing line, Minter Rise pulled up prior to the return gate, jumped the inside running rail and ran across the infield to the lure that was (by then) parked on the first turn. The Stewards spoke with Trainer Mrs.J.Reinke and discussed the general safety concerns held with this practise for both Minter Rise but also other greyhounds in the race and staff.  Stewards issued a warning to the connections and advised that the greyhound is required to run past the return gate effectively so as to be captured in the catching pen in future.
