Race 1: CFMEU M & E DIVISION QLD MAIDEN PLATE – 1350M
 
CUNARD – Bumped on jumping, shifted in and made contact with QUEEN OF EMERALDS. Raced keenly in the early and middle stages when leading.
 
SOLDIERS – As the gelding had not started for more than 12 months, it underwent a pre-race veterinary examination, which cleared the horse to race. Threw its head in the air when being restrained passing the 900m. Accidentally struck by the whip of M. Cahill (COULDN’T REFUSE) when racing in close proximity passing the 100m.
 
TOP ME UP – Jumped awkwardly and shifted in, making contact with CUNARD.
 
QUEEN OF EMERALDS – Slow to begin, then bumped heavily and lost significant ground.
 
COULDN’T REFUSE – Rider M. Cahill’s whip became momentarily entangled with the whip arm of D. Griffin (SOLDIERS) when racing in close proximity passing the 100m.
 
Race 2: QLD COUNCIL OF UNIONS MAIDEN H'CAP – 1050M
 
FLAMING BOSS – Began awkwardly and bumped GROLNA. Raced three wide without cover until the 600m.
 
INVINCIBLE FAITH – Jumped away awkwardly, shifted out and made contact with ATLANTIC KING.
 
ALDERMAN – Crowded for room after passing the 600m by ELITE GREY, which laid in, and then shortly after, when crossed by that runner, had to be steadied away from its heels.
 
ATLANTIC KING – Proved difficult to load, delaying the start. Trainer M. Dunn was advised that a warning would be placed against the gelding for its barrier manners. Bumped on jumping. Raced three wide throughout.
 
RAJO MISS – Raced three wide with cover.
 
REZABELLE – Commenced to overrace after passing the 800m. Improved on to the heels of ALDERMAN approaching the 600m and had to be restrained. Again had to be restrained from the heels of ALDERMAN passing the 500m. Held up for clear running from approaching the 400m until approaching the 250m. Had to be steadied off heels and alter course passing the 100m.
 
ELITE GREY – After beginning well and racing outside the leader, commenced to overrace and proved difficult to restrain. Laid in despite the efforts of its rider approaching the 600m, briefly tightening the running of ALDERMAN, which was racing to its inside. Weakened in the home straight. Rider B. Appo accidentally dropped his whip passing the 200m. A post-race veterinary examination failed to reveal any abnormalities.
 
GROLNA – As the mare had not started for more than 12 months, it underwent a pre-race veterinary examination, which cleared the horse to race. Bumped on jumping by FLAMING BOSS. Raced in a rearward position and raced greenly throughout the event.
 
Race 3: UNITED WORKERS UNION CLASS 5 H'CAP – 1640M
 
GET STUCK IN – Began awkwardly and shifted out. Apprentice B. Nothdurft pleaded guilty to a charge under AR132(7)(a)(ii) of using the whip on 10 occasions prior to the 100m and was fined $300. In determining penalty stewards took into account apprentice Nothdurft’s good recent record regarding this rule, however were mindful that his mount was the winner of the race.
 
THE BANDIT – Held up rounding the home turn. Improved on to heels after passing the 100m and was unable to be fully tested over the final stages.
 
LE DUDE – Became awkwardly placed at the heels of THE BANDIT when attempting to obtain cover passing the 1500m and had to be shifted out. Was then forced to race three wide without cover from that point and passing the 1300m was allowed to stride forward to obtain the position outside the lead passing the 1100m and then continued to overrace.
 
IVY’S COURT – After improving on to heels after passing the 800m the rider elected to shift three wide to improve. Laid in under pressure over the final 200m.
 
VAULTING AMBITION – Began awkwardly. Bumped by PLEASED passing the 1500m and forced out, becoming awkwardly placed at the heels of THE BANDIT.
 
SPENDING MY TIME – Improved on to the heels of THE BANDIT passing the 1000m and had to shift out. Failed to respond when placed under pressure rounding the home turn. When questioned, jockey M. Cahill indicated that in his opinion the gelding may not have appreciated being cluttered up and racing between runners, adding that the gelding may be better suited at distances shorter than that of today’s event.
 
Race 4: BERT / CIP SHIRLEY WHITE CUP CLASS 5 H'CAP – 1110M
 
The start of this race was delayed when some broken gear required replacement, resulting in M. Cahill having to re-weigh and the horse having to be resaddled.
 
PINNACLE STAR – After beginning from a wide barrier, attempted to obtain cover behind REAL SUPREMACY in the run to the first turn but was unable to do so when RAIDEN had improved to its inside and therefore was obliged to race three wide without cover for the remainder of the event. Proved disappointing when placed under pressure in the home straight. Jockey R. Maloney stated that although he was caught wide throughout he was slightly disappointed in the finishing effort of the gelding. A post-race veterinary examination failed to reveal any apparent abnormalities. A swab sample was taken.

Race 5: CBUS CLASS 1 PLATE – 1640M
 
PRINCE OF ARRAN – Held up rounding the home turn and was disappointed for a run passing the 300m and was unable to secure clear running until passing the 150m.
 
WILLIAM – Began awkwardly, then was bumped and lost ground. Held up rounding the home turn.
 
COMBATIVITE – Began awkwardly. J. Byrne reported that the mare travelled well throughout the event, however, when placed under pressure to improve approaching the home turn failed to respond to his riding. Trainer T. Gollan advised that it would now be the intention to send the mare for a spell. A post-race veterinary examination revealed the mare to have a slow post-race recovery.

Race 6: CFMEU – CONSTRUCTION & GENERAL DIVISION QTIS 3YO H'CAP – 1350M
 
DEVILS MARBLES – Began awkwardly. Put in an awkward stride rounding the home turn and became unbalanced. Rider desisted from pressuring his mount over the final 50m as he was of the opinion that the gelding felt awkward in its action. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no abnormalities.
 
MISS CAVALLO – Inconvenienced over the final 50m when crowded for room to the outside of THE SINNER and to the inside of SPIRIT ESPRIT, which shifted in.
