GENERAL
 
As jockey P. Hammersley was indisposed due to an injury suffered at the Gold Coast earlier today stewards permitted rider changes as per the Stewards Race Day Summary.
 
Race 1: Eloise Gannon Foundation Fillies & Mares Class 6 Plate – 1200m
 
ZUMBELINA – Trainer C. Waller advised the intention would be to settle the horse in a handy position if circumstances permit. The horse was ridden accordingly. Inconvenienced over the final stages when bumped by HIRTSHALS.
 
JADENTOM – Slow into stride. Jockey B. Stewart explained that the mare encountered a nice run and despite his urgings in the straight did not respond to his riding. Trainer L. Hatch submitted that both his runners today had recently returned from a campaign in North Queensland and may have felt the effects of the trip. A post race veterinary examination revealed no significant findings.
 
SHESEES EVERYTHING – Shifted out rounding home turn and bumped HELLAROO.
 
HELLAROO – Hampered and forced wider rounding the home turn. Jockey M. McGillivray (SHESEES EVERYTHING) was cautioned and advised to show greater care when shifting ground in the future.
 
CANBERRA – Hampered rounding the home turn.
 
FREQUENDLY – Hampered rounding the home turn.
 
HIRTSHALS - App J. Murphy reported at scale that his mount was inclined to lay out under pressure in the home straight.
 
Race 2: Solid Ground Landscaping QTIS 3YO Handicap – 1110m
 
AILEACH – Slow into stride.
 
MISSIE ARCHER – Slow into stride.
 
PINCH MEMORY – Whilst overracing approaching the 600m had to be steadied to avoid the heels of MITTERE.
 
EF TROOP – When questioned as to the tactics adopted jockey B. Stewart stated that after beginning well he anticipated that the gelding would gather speed to cross forward and settle outside of EXACTAMENTE. However, it failed to muster early speed at which point he was reluctant to ride forward vigorously as the gelding had shown a tendency to overrace previously. As a consequence the gelding was obliged to race wide throughout without cover. Jockey Stewart conceded that he may have erred in failing to ride the gelding more vigorously out of the barriers. Trainer T. Gollan indicated that he had anticipated the gelding would settle on the speed however noted that as a two year old the gelding, whilst beginning well, took time in the early stages to reach top speed and as a consequence was not overly critical of jockey Stewarts tactics. Mr Gollan added that despite the wide run he was of the view that the gelding was still going to win before dipping near the 200m after which it appeared to lose momentum. Their explanations were noted.
 
Race 3: Moda Events Portside Open Handicap – 1350m
 
ORDER AGAIN – Slow into stride.
 
TAILLEVENT – Overraced in the early stages.
 
CORNROW – Had to be checked near the 200m to avoid the heels of ORDER AGAIN, which shifted in. Jockey L. Cassidy (ORDER AGAIN) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under AR137(a) in that approaching the 200m he failed to make sufficient effort to prevent his mount crossing the rightful running of CORNROW, which had to be checked. Jockey Cassidys licence to ride in races was suspended for a period of eight (8) days to commence midnight 15 August 2018 and expire midnight 23 August 2018.
 
Race 4: Eaton Services Group Class 3 Plate – 1050m

I AM VENUS – After being caught wide in the early stages had to be ridden forward after the 800m to race outside the leader.

GODZONE GIRL – Slow into stride. When questioned regarding the tactics adopted rounding the home turn and in the early part of the home straight jockey J. Orman explained that he remained to the inside of BOLD SHOT as he was mindful that it had to race three wide without cover throughout and he felt that he would have been able to improve to the inside of that runner when it weakened.
