Race 1: SPECIALITY SERVICES QLD MAIDEN PLATE – 1030m
 
The start of race one was delayed to allow a secondary track inspection to be undertaken after there was found to be a section of the track near the 100m that was wetter than the remainder of the track. Stewards requested a delegation of riders inspect the affected area, following which, the unanimous view of the riding group was that the tract was suitable for racing.
 
The amended start time was 1:56pm

Race 2: BETTA HOME LIVING BENCHMARK 60 HANDICAP – 1030m

The declaration of correct weight was delayed when the connections of THE CONSIGLIERE made application for the gelding to be declared a non-runner. After viewing the available patrol footage, stewards made the determination that as the start was effected THE CONSIGLIERE’S barrier failed to open, forcing the runner to take no competitive part in the event. Stewards subsequently ordered that the gelding be declared a non-runner, ordering that all monies invested in THE CONSIGLIERE be refunded with the following deductions to apply:
 
3 cents in the dollar for the win #1
7 cents in the dollar for the place of winner #1
19 cents in the dollar for 2nd placegetter #4
15 cents in the dollar for 3rd placegetter #6
