Some good racing was witnessed despite the conditions, the finish in the July Handicap being particularly close, heads separating the first four horses.

Snow Prince Again. Lucass and Absent were the only -•withdrawals from the Akarana Steeplechase, for which Acervate carried the most money, while Kawini was next fancied, Snow Prince, who won earlier in the day, being at a good price. St.. Warrigal led over the first fence from Snow Prince, and was still in front going over the water jump, followed by Snow Prince, Kawini, Acervate, Neil, Wiltshire and Omeo, the last-named losing his rider at the brush fence near the mile post. St. Warrigal led up the hill the first time from Snow Prince, Kawini, Acervate, Neil and Wiltshire. Going over the double in front of the stand, St. Warrigal was attended by Acervate, Snow Prince, with a gap back to Kawini, Neil and Wiltshire. Up the hill the last time there was little between Snow Prince, Kawini and Neil, St. Warrigal having tiled and dropped back. Snow Prince and Neil were first into the straight just in front of Kawini, with Acervate next. Snow Prince did best in the run home to win by Pre lengths from Neil, who beat Kawini by ten lengths. Acervate was fourth, about 20 lengths back, while there were big gaps to Wiltshire and St. Warrigal.
