TICINOI BELLE and LUCKY TIME were late declared scratching’s at 12pm when no riders were available.   Stewards accepted the explanation from trainer P Jenkins for the late scratching of TEMPLE MISTRESS at 8:09 am.
 
Trainer T Hall was reprimanded under LR67(1) for the late declaration of rider on FRIDAY’S JET (Race 2) and THE CARPENTER (Race 4).
 
Jockey K Gates, who was dislodged at track work this morning, was examined by QAS staff, and cleared to fulfill her riding commitments.

 
Race 1 – Benchmark 60 Hdcp (850 METRES)
 
Correct weight was delayed allowing G Steele, rider of 4th place getter RAMTASTIC and starter Mr R Hanson, to view the start of the event. On review of the patrol footage, it was established that after RAMTASTIC had become fractious after being loaded into the barriers G Steele did not have both feet in her stirrup irons as the start was effected and as a result she completed the event with both feet out of the irons. Considering RAMTASTIC had finished in 4th place and acting under the provisions of AR204(1), the horse was declared a runner and correct weight given on the semaphored placings.
 
ASK AUDREY – Near the 600m obliged to steady from the heels of VICEMAN which shifted in when not fully clear. Adam Spinks, rider of VICEMAN, was reprimanded under AR131(a) for careless riding in this incident.
 
NO BETTER AFFAIRE – When asked to comment on the disappointing performance, rider K Gates reported the horse failed to handle the sand track conditions.
 
RAMTASTIC – The saddle was readjusted on arrival at the barriers. Rider G Steele completed the race with both feet out of the stirrup irons which resulted in her being placed at a considerable disadvantage throughout the event.
 
BELLICOSE – I French, rider of BELLICOSE, was reprimanded under AR132(7)(a)(i) for use of the whip on three consecutive occasions prior to the 100m.
 
 
 
Race 2 - QTIS Class B Hdcp (1030 METRES)

REITERATE – L Dillon, rider of REITERATE, was reprimanded under AR132(7)(a)(ii) for use of the whip on seven occasions prior to the 100m, 2 more than permitted.
 
STORM’S WILL – Blundered making the crossing near the 700m.
 
ADELAIDE MOMENT – Blundered making the crossing near the 700m. When asked to comment on the below market performance trainer P McEwan was of the opinion the horse did not handle the sand track conditions. A post-race veterinary examination of ADELAIDE MOMENT revealed no abnormalities.
 
BEAUETA – Adam Spinks, rider of BEAUTA, was reprimanded under AR132(7)(a)(ii) for use of the whip on seven occasions prior to the 100m, 2 more than permitted.
