ROUGH EDDIE – Apprentice S. Eilbeck was reprimanded for using her whip more than 5 times prior to the 100m.

TICKLED PINK – Trainer C. Munce was fined $200 for failing to declare a rider for the horse by the prescribed time.

CELESTIAL GREY – Slipped at the start and lost ground. Had to be steadied passing the 1000m when momentarily tightened for room.

STRATUZY – Began awkwardly.

EL NINO'S BAMBINO – Apprentice T. Brooker reported at scale it was not her intention to lead but after beginning well rather than after being caught wide she elected to ride forward to obtain the lead near the 1000m.

SHEZA YANKEE – Hung out for a major part of the race and made the home turn extremely wide. Trainer J. Meagher was advised the filly must trial satisfactorily prior to its next race start. A post race veterinary examination failed to reveal any significant abnormalities.

ALTERED – Jockey Hammersley dropped his whip over the final stages.



Race 5: The IGT Australia QTIS 3yo Colts and Geldings Maiden H'cap - 1200m

6 cents in the dollar for place of winner #2

Race 6: Cellarbrations Class 5 H'cap - 1500m

OLD SMOKEY – Change of tactics. To be ridden more forward if circumstances permit. The horse was ridden accordingly.

MOONLIGHT DANCER – Jockey J. Lloyd reported at scale it was not his intention to cross to the lead approaching the 1000m but when YOHO slowed he was unable to restrain his mount and for this reason he allowed MOONLIGHT DANCER to stride to the front.


Race 7: Bundaberg Small Batch Class 2 H'cap - 1400m

DREAM HABIT – Slow to begin.

DAME VAN WINKEL – Had to be steadied when tightened for room passing the 1200m.

MONTRER DAME – Slow to begin.

CHEVAL LE VENT – Overraced in the early stages.

ROYAL ROULETTE – Raced 3 wide without cover.

MEDIEVAL – Jockey J. Byrne was questioned regarding the disappointing performance of the gelding. He explained that his mount overraced during the early and middle stages and was inclined to hang in, which affected, in his view, the horse's capacity to finish the race off. A post race veterinary examination revealed a small laceration to the near hind leg. Trainer M. Dunn will be interviewed regarding today's performance.
