Race 1: Carlton Mid Ipswich Mile BenchMark 80 Handicap – 1666m
 
ANGEL DANE – Jumped away awkwardly.
 
FABULONH – Inconvenienced at the start. Overraced in the early stages and was therefore taken three wide near the 1500m and raced in that position for the remainder of the event.
 
CONSTANTINE –  Restrained at the start to the rear of the field to gain a position closer to the rail. Overraced in the early stages.
 
SILVERA – Restrained at the start to the rear of the field to gain a position closer to the rail. Held up rounding the home turn and in the early part of the home straight. Obtained a narrow run passing the 200m.
 
RED COLOUR – Overraced in the early stages.
 
BODEGA NEGRA – Overraced in the early stages.
 
HECTOPASCAL - Held up rounding the home turn and in the early part of the home straight. Approaching the 200m when shifting out to improve became awkward at the heels of the tiring KARAKABEEL.
 
RED COLOUR – Lost a near hind plate in running.
 
Race 2: Sirromet Bundamba Plate QTIS 2YO Handicap – 1100m
 
KARAJA – Slow to begin. Lost an off hind plate in running.
 
FLICK – Slow to begin.
 
MAGIC TRICK – Slow to begin.
 
STAMPE – Raced three wide without cover throughout.
 
 
Race 3: Sky Racing Class 6 Handicap – 1200m
 
TRAUMATISED – Slow to begin. Had to be checked near the 400m. Held up in the early part of the home straight. Jockey S. Cormack (SMARTYPY) pleaded guilty to a charge of carelessness riding under the provisions of AR131(a) in that near the 400m he made insufficient effort to straighten his mount resulting in EGYPTIAN BULLET being taken inwards onto TRAUMATISED, which had to be checked. Jockey Cormack’s licence to ride in races was suspended for a period of eight (8) days to commence midnight 23 June 2019 and expire midnight 1 July 2019.
 
ZOU DER ZEE – Tightened for room at the start.
 
EF TROOP – Overraced in the early and middle stages.
 
EGYPTIAN BULLET – When asked to explain the disappointing performance jockey G. Boss stated that the mare travelled well but failed to respond to his riding from the 500m and was disappointing in the home straight. A post race veterinary examination revealed no significant findings.
 
 
Race 4: Ray White Ipswich BenchMark 75 Handicap – 1350m
 
JOHNNY WHITESOX – Reared and became fractious in the barriers, was removed, underwent a veterinary examination and was cleared to start. When questioned regarding the performance jockey G. Boss stated that the gelding raced a bit keenly during the race and when placed under pressure approaching the home turn, proved disappointing and failed to run on.  Trainer C. Munce stated the gelding may not have backed up in the short time since its last start. He further stated he intended to continue with its campaign towards the Sunshine Coast Cup. Mr Munce undertook to report to Stewards anything that may become apparent in regards to the gelding’s condition in the coming days which may have had an affect on its performance. A post race veterinary examination revealed no significant findings.
 
AKAGE – Slow to begin.
 
TISANI MAGIC – Overraced in the lead in the early and middle stages. A post race veterinary examination revealed no significant findings. App C. Bayliss was questioned regarding his riding tactics, particularly the reason why he maintained the lead when challenged by FINAL ZERO for some distance in the early stages. He stated that after jumping well he elected to go forward and shortly after was challenged by FINAL ZERO and he elected to hold his position which resulted in him working hard in the early stages. Thereafter he was able to maintain the lead however, was further challenged near the 600m and his mount tired in the straight after being placed under pressure. In hindsight he agreed that maybe he should have elected to take a sit in the early stages and Stewards advised App Bayliss that he was expected to show greater initiative in future.
 
 
Race 5: Queensland Times Provincial Stayers BenchMark 78 Handicap – 2500m
 
BROCSON – Slow to begin.
 
IT AIN’T ALL HONEY – Overraced in the early stages.

Race 6: Schweppes TL Cooney QTIS 3YO Handicap – 1100m

TERRA SANCTA – Slow to begin.
