Superior Authority( APP T HALL ) was tightened between La Tinta (J STANLEY ))and Rock Your Body( D McMASTER) which was hanging out and continued to hang out for the remainder of the event. As a result Superior Authority (APP T HALL ) had to be checked. Trainer M.Hoyling explained to the stewards that this was the first time the horse had travelled in the opposite direction. Stewards decided to take no action other than to issue a warning against Rock Your Body and to inform connections that a repeat offence may lead to further action being taken.

RACE 4:
1st –Stars Will Dance 2nd – Blue Cougar 3rd – Darby O'gil 4th – Happily Everafter

Happily Everafter (APP I FRENCH )was tightened for room on jumping away between Blue Cougar (C ROGERS ) and Stars Will Dance(APP T HALL ) which shifted ground.

Shortly after the start Call Me Victor (P.PAYNE ) was tightened for room between Shan Teng (R TILLEY) and Sweep to Victory (D MONAGHAN) when both horses shifted ground.

Stewards opened an inquiry into the reason for Mondayitis rider D.Baker being dislodged after the winning post. It was established that approaching the 800m Mondayitis commenced to race ungenerously, at which point the saddle slipped placing the Gelding at a considerable disadvantage for the rest of the event. After passing the winning post the saddle continued to slip to a point at which the rider suffered a harmless fall. Ambulance officers examined D. Baker and cleared him for the rest of the meeting. Stewards noted the circumstances for D.Baker’s fall.

RACE 5:
1st – Classicus 2nd Lester Cove–3rd – Polish Warrior 4th – Birubi Chosen

Birubi Chosen(D MONAGHAN ) jumped away awkwardly.

Approaching the 1000m Niceoss ( R TILLEY ) which was over-racing failed to take the turn and had to be steadied off the heels of Birubi Chosen.

After the running of the fifth event R.Tiley the rider of Niceoss failed to weigh in for fifth place. Stewards reprimanded R.Tiley and reminded him of his obligations when returning to scale.
