SPACE WARRIOR and TRUSTY TROY were difficult to settle in the early stages. RAIN SHADOW and SHEET WEAVER raced in close quarters from the 200m, thereafter RAIN SHADOW had to switch out to avoid the heels of NAWRA, which shifted out away from the crop when tiring in the concluding stages. Objections were lodged by Trainer Gray of the fourth placed horse, RAIN SHADOW, against the second placed horse, SHEET WEAVER, on the grounds of interference from the 400m, and against the third placed horse NAWRA on the grounds of taking up the running of RAIN SHADOW in the concluding stages. The Objection Board, after reviewing the patrol films of the race and giving regards to the evidence presented from the various parties, was of the opinion that neither of these incidents had affected the result of the race and therefore overruled the objection. The Judge's result stands. Trainer Gray's deposit was refunded. Jockey Brown, the rider of SPANISH BLADE, briefly lost his right side stirrup iron at the 150m. NIGHT RAIDER (AUS) was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. STAR TREK raced equipped with alumites in front and unshod behind.
