Tinto the first corner BRIGHT ECHO moved down to the rail from her outside draw, before being struck from behind by ZIPPY ZAPPER, both dogs losing all chance as a result. BRIGHT ECHO was checked after the event by the Club Veterian who detected no injuries. The favourite PANAMA COBRA who tailed ZINGER'S NOTCH around the bend, received a run along the rail as ZINGER'S NOTCH ran wide turning for home, winning the event easily as a result.

As the lure approached the 295m start for this event the lids opened prematurely, with all eight dogs running a short distance before the lure was pulled up. The dogs with the exception of SHEZ'S CHARM were examined by the Club Veterinary surgeon and cleared to race. The event was re scheduled to 10:50pm, with the restart being undertaken without incident. The trainer of SHEZ'S CHARM was observed to walk his dog from the track, and the dog was declared a late scratching. Following the event a charge was preferred against trainer WT Hodgson in accordance with Rules 135(1) and 305(3). He elected to plead not guilty to the charge, and after hearing the evidence, the Judicial Officer found the charge proven, with Hodgson being fined $100.00. No period of stand down was imposed on SHEZ'S CHARM. An inquiry into the lids opening early established that the Club Electrian, G van Tongeron was of the opinion that the latch of the box lids was not securely fastened when the lids were closed by the starter, V Whiting. The circumstances of the lids opening early on this occasion was identical to the situation that occured at the same boxes on 22 October 2003, and the electrician had established that the fault was not electrical. The boxes had been checked following the first incident by a mechanical and hydraulic engineer, with nothing untoward being discovered. A check of the boxes and lids again on 31 October 2003 found nothing amiss with them. SHEZ'Z CHARM (WT Hodgson) withdrawn without penalty.
