Women's 200m This was to be Melinda Gainsford's first big meet test after a winter preparation hampered by back injury. It was also the first time that Gainsford had to contend with a domestic challenger other than Cathy Freeman. Lauren Hewitt of Victoria has gone from strength to strength after the Olympics and the world Juniors. From the gun it was all Gainsford who ran a blistering bend to clearly lead into the straight. At the 150m mark Gainsford appeared to lose her rhythm allowing Lauren Hewitt to maintain her unbeaten Grand Prix run this season, Jodi Lambert of Western Australia snuck in for second.

Women's 400m Cathy Freeman was head and shoulders above this field, coasting the back straight, It was not until the 200m mark that she got into her stride. This was another day at the office for a still very fluent if slightly out of shape Freeman. Cathy was not pressured at any stage of this race. Susan Andrews ran strongly for second and Rosemary Hayward continued to impress but on this occasion it wa Freeman first and daylight second.

Women's 100m Hurdles Nicole Gale and Simone Purvis pressured Jane Fleming to the line, It was not until the last flight that Fleming asserted her dominance. The time of 13.88 with a 0.6 tailwind must be pleasing for her in her first domestic competition this season.

Men's 100m What a build up, what a race. Away, Lewis out last. On this occasion Lewis didn't trouble the commentators again, not that it bothered Steve Brimacombe who went on to win one of the best 100m races ever seen in Australia. Henderson got the best of the start, but it was Brimacombe's mid race surge that carried him to Victory. The times were quick but not scintillating which was more a reflection on the swirling winds than the calibre of the athletes. The margin from first to last was a mere .23 of a second making this the race of the night.

Men's 400m A strong wind in the back straight and a very even field meant this race was wide open. Anthony Ryan of Queensland looked great for the first strong 200m, but it was Callum Taylor from out wide in lane eight that led the field into the home straight. Cameron Mackenzie showed grat strength to lift in the last 40m and take the Victory. Casey Vincent of Victoria finished well to claim second and Callum Taylor bravely held out a charging Anthony Ryan for third.

Men's 1500m Holt Hardy and Scott Peterson looked set to continue their summer long duel. The race was so dominated by this pair it was fortunate the spectators the start list was displayed on the scoreboard otherwise the fans may not have known that this race boasted a plethora of well performed internationals including several Kenyans, Hardy did the lions share of the work setting up a great race but it was Peterson who turned it on 200m from home giving the Kenyans no respect and going on the win in Personal Best time of 3:39.53.A late charge by Hood gave him the victory.
