As Jockeys R. Plumb and M. Palmer were unable to fulfil their engagements for acceptable reasons, rider replacements were made as per Stewards Race Day Summary.
 
 
Race 1 – Blanc De Bloom March 14 Maiden Plate – 900m
 
SPECIAL CASE – As the gelding is having its first career start as a 7 year old, it underwent a pre-race veterinary examination and has been cleared to start. Near the 800m when racing greenly, shifted out and bumped BETTER THAN MAGIC. Approaching the 100m, obliged to steady from the heels of DANITES and shifted in to obtain clear running.
 
GLOBAL VENTURE – Shortly after jumping, blundered for a stride.
 
BETTER THAN MAGIC – Near the 800m bumped. Held up approaching the home turn and obliged to shift back to the rails in order to obtain clear running.
 
WORLD CHARMER – Raced 3 wide throughout.
 
DANITES – Near the 150m when placed under pressure by its rider, shifted out abruptly. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no apparent abnormalities. Connections were advised that a warning would be placed on the filly regarding its racing manners.
 
 
Race 2 – The Blake Patches OSullivan Maiden Handicap – 1100m
 
HES NOT FOCUSED – As the gelding slipped in the mounting yard, it underwent a pre-race veterinary examination behind the gates and was cleared to start. Approaching the 800m shifted in and brushed the rail, put in an awkward stride and raced ungenerously for a short distance.
 
GIVE HER ROOM – Blundered on jumping and shifted out. Leaving the 900m, hung in. Near the 600m was forced wider when GREYT INTENTIONS shifted out to improve.
 
CENTENARY STAR – Checked on jumping and lost ground when GIVE HER ROOM shifted out. Leaving the 900m was inconvenienced and steadied from the heels of MISHANI PHANTOM when that runner was checked and then obliged to shift wider on the course. Near the 200m, attempted to improve to the inside of DO THE MOUNTAIN and momentarily steadied when that runner shifted in.
 
MISHANI PHANTOM – Leaving the 900m was checked when tightened for racing room when GIVE HER ROOM and GREYT INTENTIONS both hung in despite the efforts of their riders. Approaching the home turn improved quickly onto the heels of CENTENARY STAR and shifted wider.
 
GREYT INTENTIONS - Leaving the 900m, hung in.

Race 3 – The Ultraderm Skincare QTIS 3YO Maiden Plate – 1200m
