MISHANI EPIC – When questioned, trainer L. Ross stated that the horse had worked well both before its prior start and today, however the win today was unexpected.

LE PALMIER – Raced keenly and three wide throughout.
 
XANTHUS – M. Cahill reported at scale that his mount was reluctant to stretch out and in his opinion failed to handle the track.
 
ORIENTAL GIRL – M. Hellyer was reminded to ride his mounts to the finish.
 
AIR SPIRIT – Slow to begin. Eased shortly after the start when awkwardly placed and crowded between MY BOY SAM, which steadied outwards away from MODELKA, which shifted inwards abruptly.

Race 9: EVA AIR CLASS 6 PLATE – 1200M
 
I AM VINNIE – Slow to begin. Raced three wide with cover throughout. Inconvenienced near the 500m. Brushed with BOOMTOWN LASS over the concluding stages.
 
MACEWEN – Blundered and checked near the 500m and thereafter was eased out of the race. On inquiry it was established that approaching the 500m ASHMAN was racing just off the fence and racing tight to the inside of BOOMTOWN LASS. Shortly after, ASHMAN rolled out marginally and TARDIS attempted to improve to its inside. ASHMAN then shifted in after making contact with BOOMTOWN LASS, with TARDIS then having to be eased and then laid outwards despite the efforts of its rider, resulting in MACEWEN being crowded, becoming awkwardly placed and clipping the heels of TARDIS. In the circumstances stewards were of the opinion that the incident was not the result of the carelessness of any rider. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no significant findings.
 
TISANI MAGIC – Slow to begin.
 
AMERICANA MAGIC – Raced three wide without cover throughout. Hampered near the 300m.
