From Gold Coast – Saturday 13 January 2018 – Race 4:
 
Trainer C. Waller’s representative, Mr P. Shailer, advised that BLACK ON GOLD bled from one nostril on returning to the stable after competing in this event.
 
Race 1: SKY RACING CLASS 5 H’CAP – 1000M
 
SILIQUA – Checked severely shortly after the start when FREQUENDLY jumped in.
 
BARNSLEY – As apprentice T. Brooker was indisposed due to illness, apprentice A. Sewell was substituted as rider. When questioned regarding the horse’s seemingly improved performance, trainer G. Duncan advised that at its first run back from a spell at Warwick on 26 December 2017, the horse went back from its barrier and when attempting to improve approaching the home turn was forced wider by another runner and lost momentum. He added that given the circumstances of that occasion he was not overly disappointed in its performance, and that with the benefit of that run and being fitter for today’s event and with the small field, he gave the gelding a reasonable chance.

REAL CLASSIC – Slow into stride.
 
PRETEXT’S DREAM – Hung out from the 600m.

CONQUERING LASS – Rider obliged to stop riding and straighten approaching the winning post when the filly was hanging in under pressure.

JAYDEE INDY – Began very awkwardly, bumped its gate and then tailed out throughout. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no significant findings other than that the horse was listless.

BAKER BOY – Trainer B. Andrew was afforded the opportunity to explain the horse’s improved performance. Mr Andrew advised that at its previous start the horse drew a wide gate and was trapped off the track on that occasion. He added that at its prior start to that the horse had had an interrupted preparation leading into that event and he was of the view that on that occasion the horse did not stretch out on the firm surface. He said that with the engagement of an apprentice for today’s event, with the horse carrying a lighter weight than at its previous runs, and also with the removal of the tongue tie, he believed these factors had assisted in its performance.
