Race 1: Sky Thoroughbred Central QTIS 3YO Handicap – 1600m
 
TROOPER KELLY – Proved very difficult to settle in the early stages. Raced wide from the 600m until rounding the turn into the home straight. When questioned regarding the performance jockey J. Lloyd stated that it was originally his intention to get cover however when there was no pace in the early stages his mount proved very difficult to settle and got its head up on a number of occasions. He stated he then elected to go forward to the lead however the colt continued to race keenly. He added when placed under pressure the colt was disappointing and failed to respond in the straight. Trainer B. Currie advised it was his intention to spell the colt and in future would limit its starts over shorter distances. A post race veterinary examination revealed the colt had returned with a cut on the off side cheek and was lame in the near fore leg. Mr Currie was advised that a veterinary clearance must be produced prior to the colt racing again.
 
AILEACH – Near the 900m became unbalanced after making contact with the running rail.
 
BACCARAT BABY – Approaching the 600m became unbalanced after making contact with AILEACH which was commencing to improve. Laid inwards over the final 200m.
 
FISH N SNITZ – Bumped near the 200m.
 
RED DOULTON – Bumped near the 200m.
 
 
Race 2: Bentleys Chartered Accountants BM85 Handicap – 2200m

SIR BARNABUS – Near the 1400m was eased after becoming awkwardly placed at the heels of SAN TELMO.
 
SAN TELMO – Steadied outward away from the heels of EXOTERIC near the 1400m and thereafter raced three wide without cover until approaching the 1000m.
 
EXOTERIC – Laid inward in the home straight. Cast an off fore plate in running.
 
 
Race 3: Vae Group Class 6 Plate – 1200m
 
THE MECHANIC – Jumped away awkwardly. A post race veterinary examination failed to reveal any abnormalities and a swab sample was taken.
 
TAILLEVENT – Raced keenly for a short distance approaching the 800m. Laid outwards making the turn near the 600m. Unable to secure clear running for the majority of the straight and was unable to be fully tested by its rider.  When questioned regarding the run jockey M. Du Plessis stated that approaching the home straight PUZZLING WONDER rolled out and as a result he elected to come to the inside of that gelding and follow SUPER SUAVE. Shortly after SUPER SUAVE did not improve into the race as he expected and he then elected to go back to the inside to follow FREDDIE FOX TROT, which he felt would improve to allow him to gain a run thereafter however FREDDIE FOX TROT did not accelerate as he had expected and he was unable to obtain a clear run for the majority of the straight.Whilst noting jockey Du Plessis’ explanation stewards did advise him that in hindsight it may have been prudent to race behind SUPER SUAVE slightly longer so as to give himself possible options to both the inside and outside and to ride in a manner so as not to arouse query in future.
 
ATOUCHMORE – Steadied from the heels of GOOD TIME CHARLIE when being carried inwards slightly by TAILLEVENT near the 600m.
 
JUNGLIZED - When questioned regarding the performance jockey M. Cahill stated that he was able to lead as intended however the gelding never really travelled well throughout and responded only briefly when placed under pressure and was disappointing in the straight. Trainer B. Widdup advised that the gelding had arrived on Thursday and it was its first trip away. He stated he felt this may have had an affect and in future he would travel earlier with the gelding to allow it to acclimatise before its start.
