The start of this race was delayed when ZOULOU DANCER proved difficult to load.
 
FEARNLEY – Laid in shortly after the start. Steadied slightly to avoid heels passing the 800m.

REZABELLE – Due to a misunderstanding, jockey J. Orman was incorrectly advertised as the rider and Stewards therefore permitted C. Bayliss to be substituted as the rider.

A post-race veterinary examination of the colt revealed no apparent abnormalities. Trainer K. Geran was advised that the colt will be required to trial to the satisfaction of Stewards prior to its next race start.
 
HERITAGE SASH – After being caught 3 wide in the early stages, jockey R. Maloney attempted to obtain cover behind TOO GOOD TO RESIST after passing the 800m, however he was unable to do so, and had to restrain his mount in an attempt to find a position closer to the rail. From the 600m, jockey Maloney was unable to obtain cover and his mount raced 3 wide from that point. When placed under pressure in the early stages of the home straight the horse failed to respond, however over the final 100m hit the line strongly and may benefit from this run.

Race 6: STESCO CONSTRUCTIONS FILLIES AND MARES CLASS 4 H’CAP – 1350M
 
SPLITTER – A post-race veterinary examination revealed that the mare had lost the off-hind plate in running.
 
PRINCESS ROULETTE – As the mare had not raced in over 12 months, it was examined by the veterinary surgeon and cleared to take its place in the field. Slow to begin. A post-race veterinary examination of the mare, which performed below market expectation, revealed that it was exhibiting a slow post-race recovery. Trainer B. Lockwood advised that as the mare had not had a start in over 400 days he was not overly disappointed in the performance, and said that the mare would benefit from this run. Stewards noted the explanation.
 
BOILING – When questioned by Stewards regarding the improved performance, Trainer Mr. D. Groves explained that when the mare overraced two starts ago at Ipswich the rider had recommended the removal of the blinkers for its next start, which he did, however the horse did not perform well at Toowoomba on that occasion without that gear. Mr. Groves added that with the blinkers back on today, as well as the change of rider, he had not been overly surprised with the win which was consistent with the mare’s runs prior to its last start at Toowoomba. Stewards accepted the explanation.

Had a tendency to lay out rounding the home turn.
 
LYRICAL PRINCE – After racing up on the speed the gelding commenced to weaken shortly after entering the home straight, and jockey J. Lloyd desisted from riding his mount out over the concluding stages as he felt something may be amiss with the horse. Trainer Mr. G.
