Trainer D Baker confirmed that SUPER ONE SUSIE would now be sent for a short freshen up and would undertake to report back to Stewards on the condition of the filly in the days subsequent.

Race 3: WINNING EDGE PRESENTATIONS QTIS 3YO COLTS & GELDINGS HCP - 1200M

OREGON – Raced three wide early and middle stages. Rider S Thornton reported that her mount felt awkward in its action and therefore elected to not place OREGON under any more pressure over the concluding stages. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no abnormalities.

Trainer P Messara was advised that DEEPWOOD VALE would require a veterinary certificate prior to its next start.

Race 8: SKY RACING TATTERSALL'S TIARA G1 – 1400M
 
Prior to the declaration of correct weight, a protest was lodged by L Cassidy, rider of the third placegetter NUDGE alledging interference over the final 100m stages against the second placegetter SWEET DEAL (J Orman). After taking evidence from both riders, stable representatives and viewing the available patrol footage, Stewards established that whilst being ridden to the line, SWEET DEAL shifted in abruptly over the final 100m despite the efforts of its rider, causing NUDGE to alter its course and having to be momentarily inconvenienced. Bearing in mind the half neck margin and the manner in which both horses finished off the race, Stewards were of the opinion that had the interference not occurred to NUDGE, it would’ve finished in front of SWEET DEAL and upheld the protest.
 
TOFANE (NZ) – Awkwardly placed on the heels of MITZY near the 1200m.
 
FLIT – Raced wide throughout
 
BROOKLYN HUSTLE – Slow to begin. Made the turn near 1000m awkwardly taking YAMAKAZI wider and was forced to raced wide from that point. Had difficulty obtaining clear running over the final 100m.

LYRE – Raced wide throughout.
 
COVENTINA BAY (NZ) – Began awkwardly and lost ground.
 
YAMAZAKI – Slow to begin. Taken wider near the 1000m when BROOKLYN HUSTLE made the turn awkwardly and raced wide for the remainder.
