Race 1. TOLGA MARKETS QTIS 2YO & 3YO MAIDEN HANDICAP 1000m
NORTHERN GREAT – Trainer S Horner advised Stewards that, should circumstances permit, the intention would be to have the gelding ridden more conservatively in the early stages than at previous starts in an effort to keep something in reserve and enable it to finish its race off. The gelding was ridden accordingly.

NORHTERN GREAT – Shifted out on jumping and bumped with another runner.
GO JABBA – Bumped by another runner on jumping. Shifted in and away from another runner near the 800m. Jockey S Kaya advised the gelding was inclined to hang out in running.
