Tobin's Power – New declared weight of 33.1kg last raced at 34.7kg. 

John John Dory was slow to begin.

Always Near and Shamrock Mist collided on the first turn checking both greyhounds.  Lilly Galore galloped on Always Near approaching the home turn checking both greyhounds.  Tobin's Power tired over the concluding stages of the event.  

Tobin's Power underwent a post-race veterinary examination - no apparent injury was reported. Stewards offered Mr Garry Harding the trainer of Tobin's Power a re-examination which he declined. Stewards spoke to Mr Harding regarding the greyhound's performance in the home straight. Stewards deemed the performance unsatisfactory, acting in accordance with GAR 71, Tobin's Power must perform a Satisfactory Trial (all tracks) before any future nomination will be accepted.
