MR MONACO – Raced three wide in the early stages before being ridden forward to the position outside the leader passing the 1200m.
 
ROMAN DOLL – Tightened over the final stages between KINGS FULL and SMOKEY DIAMOND, which was inclined to hang in under pressure. Apprentice B. Nothdurft, the rider of SMOKEY DIAMOND, was reprimanded and advised to make a greater effort to stop riding and straighten his mounts in the future.
 
Race 2: MEMBERSHIP AT BRC OPEN H’CAP – 2020M
 
ANOTHER DOLLAR – Stable representative Mr P. Shailer advised that it would be the intention to have the horse ridden more forward today and to obtain the lead if circumstances permit. The horse was ridden accordingly.

AMERICAN DIVA – Approaching the winning post on the first occasion had to be steadied from the heels of SAMPSON which shifted in when not fully clear. J. Byrne, the rider of SAMPSON, was reprimanded.

BON ROCKET – Raced three wide with cover throughout.
 
SHAUQUIN – Lost the off fore plate in running.
 
SUNDAY SESSION – J. Lloyd reported that his mount did not show any early speed and as a result settled further back than anticipated and after being held up rounding the home turn and in the early part of the home straight ran home only fairly. He added that the gelding is better suited when able to race up on the speed in a more genuinely run race and over a further distance than that of today’s event. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no significant findings.
 
MR STORM – Held up rounding the home turn and in the early part of the home straight.
 
FLAMIN’ MOGUL – Raced three wide without cover throughout.

Race 9: HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS MAYNE QTIS 3YO H’CAP – 1200M
 
EPIC GIRL, which lunged forward and made heavy contact with the gate prior to the start being effected, was examined by the veterinary surgeon and found to have a significant amount of blood in its mouth. Acting on veterinary advice, stewards ordered the withdrawal of EPIC GIRL at 4:40 pm. On the announcement of correct weight stewards ordered that all monies invested on EPIC GIRL be refunded, with the following deductions to apply to successful wagers placed prior to 4:40 pm:
 
7 cents in the dollar for the win #12
7 cents in the dollar for place of winner #12
7 cents in the dollar for 2nd place #1
6 cents in the dollar for 3rd place #7
 
The declaration of correct weight was delayed to allow J. Byrne, the rider of 3rd placegetter DESERT DIGBY, to view the patrol footage to determine whether he had grounds on which to lodge an objection against 2nd placegetter EF TROOP. After viewing the video jockey Byrne indicated that he did not wish to proceed and correct weight was declared.
