Cass and Jockey Advocate Ms L. Morrison, B. Thomson, and S. Wilson and viewing of the official race film; E. Cass, rider of HARCOURT STREET pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding in that she allowed her mount to shift in when insufficiently clear of FRENCH AMOUR (B. Nothdurft) which was dictated inwards and then continued to shift in placing I WANNA BREAK FREE (S. Wilson) and DANCETIME (B.

SUNSHINY GIRL – Rider M. Kai pleaded not guilty of a charge to careless riding in that he failed to make sufficient effort to prevent his mount from shifting in near the 1100m when not sufficiently clear of runners to his inside. After hearing further evidence and viewing of the steward’s patrol film, Stewards could not be satisfied that M. Kai could held totally accountable to this incident due to the racing manners of WILL HE TORQUE (S. Wilson) at this point of the race and as such could not sustain the charge. Nonetheless M. Kai was advised a greater effort would be expected from a senior rider in similar circumstances.        

Race 4: BIG BOYZ BINZ OPEN H’CAP – 1250M
 
PURRFECT TYCOON – Raced 3 wide without cover for the majority of the race.
