Seven starters. Waitak Attack was the early leader until Mistress Honcho moved along inner and held off a late run from No Invitation to take the win.Smokin' Time was last after the jump but quickly improved along inner to midfield - then, whilst mid-bend Smokin' Times switched sharply to the outer, across the back of Waitak Attack and into contact with Faithful Bart - Faithful Bart was forced out wider into the path of Winsome Dough with that dog then straddling the back of Faithful Bart and almost falling. The chances of Winsome Dough and Faithful Bart were dashed at that point, and both dogs went wide and finished back. Stepping clear of the jostling he had left in his wake, Smokin' Time went on to record a sound third.

Supreme Jester drifted from the early position and was found to have been injured in the post race vet examination. Linnymay, the reserve from box 9, ranged wide at the straight entrance - coming sharply off the rail, and impeded the chances of Mana Watt and Supreme Jester, although those dogs were well back at that time.

Seven starters. Graeshar's Boy was on equal terms in front in early stages then dropped off pace and tailed home a very distant last. A post race vet examination revealed that indeed Graeshar's Boy had been injured during the running.My Minkie trooped the field down the back straight until the entrance into the final straight where Busting Out, who had been trailing handy to lead, surged strongly and with a sustained run held to the line. Waitak Central, also prominent in latter stages, moved out at the bottom of the straight, nudged the tiring My Minkie, and went on for second placing. No 3 Stylish Zoe ( M Earley). Rule 259.

The was a general tightening of the greyhounds after the jump from which Taiho Tiger, out of box 8, stayed well clear, having settled back on inner. As the field raced down the back straight, led by Argus Led, Taiho Tiger began a forward move which saw him weave through the field to take control at the final bend exit segment before unleashing a final powerful surge to win and win well.
