NSW, SA and VIC got a good start and the Victorians had a slight lead at the 500 metre mark. The lead changed by the 1000 metre mark with a slight lead to NSW followed by Victoria and South Australia. South Australia made their move in the third 500 metres passing Victoria and going after New South Wales who maintained the lead. However NSW had more in reserve going on to win comfortably in the end from SA followed by Victoria.
