Race 1: RATINGS 0-60 HDCP 1030 Metres
 
SIOUXSIE – slow to begin.  When asked to comment on tactics adopted app H English stated the mare was not suited to by the fast early pace, as a result settled further back in the field than anticipated.  She added SOUXSIE would be better suited to races over a longer distance.  Stewards noted the explanation.
 
TEN GOAL POLO – raced three-wide without cover for the majority of the event.
 
SHE’S ON POINT – shifted out abruptly when struck with the whip near the 100 metres, hampering WARNERS LANDING.
 
WARNERS LANDING – hampered near the 100 metres.
 
 
Race 2: CLASS B HDCP 1200 Metres
After being kicked in the off hind leg in the race day tie-up stalls, FORGOTTEN FEELING was declared a late scratching on veterinary advice at 2:05pm.  Stewards ordered all bets to be refunded in full with deductions of 12 cents win and 11 cents place face value of all winning bets. Trainer L Wanless was advised FORGOTTEN FEELING would require a veterinary certificate prior to its next race start.
 
DIA VERNON – raced wide for the majority of the event.
 
HEZAGIGOLO – slow to begin.  Raced wide in the early and middle stages.
 
NIGHTS ABLAZE – as the horse had not started for a considerable period, was examined by the Club Veterinarian prior to the race and cleared to start.
 
AIRPORT – shifted out near the 800 metres.
 
SALTY’S BOY – following the event rider M Gray reported the gelding was inclined to lay out throughout the event.
 
HOVE ACTUALLY – slow to begin.

 
Race 3: MAIDEN PLATE 1350 Metres
 
MAADAK – slow to begin.  Raced wide throughout.
 
CRAIGLEA GUNSMOKE – raced wide in the early and middle stages of the event.
 
CRAIGLEA HUSKY – permission was granted for rider R Oakford to ride the colt ½ kg over its allocated weight when no other rider was available.
 
TELLHIMHESDREAMING – following the event rider R Faehr reported the filly in his opinion was not suited by the tight turning track.
 
 
Race 4: BENCHMARK 50 HDCP 1350 Metres
Correct weight was delayed to allow stewards to view the start of the event and determine whether TELLOFF was afforded a fair start.  After taking evidence from rider H Phillips, starter S Hamilton and viewing the patrol video, it was established TELLOFF reared, striking jockey Phillips in the face as the start was effected, and as such was declared a runner.  As H Phillips was momentarily incapacitated, TELLOFF was retired from the race a short distance after the start.  Trainer B Phillips was advised TELLOFF must obtain a further barrier certificate prior to its next race start.  Jockey H Phillips was examined by QAS medical staff and cleared to fulfil her remaining engagement.
 
PATICHE – tightened near the 1000 metres.
 
MY CERTAIN – obliged to steady near the 1000 metres when tightened for room.
 
DARK FORCE – shifted in near the 1000 metres.  Rider R Faehr was reprimanded under AR131(a) for shifting in when not fully clear.
 
PUMP ACTION – weakened from the 400 metres.  Rider C Rogers was of the opinion the mare is better suited to shorter distances.  A post-race veterinary examination revealed no abnormality.
 
 
Race 5: BENCHMARK 69 HDCP 1350 Metres
 
BRAD THE LAD – raced three-wide for the majority of the event.
