RACE 1: HALL CHADWICK QTIS THREE-YEARS-OLD MAIDEN HANDICAP -900M
 
GREY FACTOR – Trainer B. Currie was fined $100 for the late rider declaration of App. A. Thompson.

SEMAPHORE GIRL – Slow to begin.

RACE 2: BARDRILL CLASS 1 HANDICAP - 1000M
 
DAISY PEARL – As App. A. Ross was unable to claim her full allowance she was replaced by App. A. Thompson. Subsequently, App. A. Ross was fined $100.
 
THE LAUNCHER – Slow to begin. Whilst weakening near the 100m was buffeted between runners, became awkward and lost ground. When questioned in relation to the poor performance Rider J. Oliver reported that the gelding was slow to begin and as a result he was obliged to ride aggressively to obtain a forward position and despite this travelled comfortably in the early and middle stages. He added that when placed under pressure the gelding proved disappointing in the home straight. Trainer B. Currie expressed disappointment in the geldings performance which in his opinion failed to handle the sand racing surface particularly given that it was its first start racing in the clock-wise direction. He added that in his opinion the gelding was not suited to the fast tempo of this event and would look to step up in distance at its next start.  Post-race veterinary examination revealed no significant findings.
 
GORESBRIDGE – Bled one nostril. Trainer W. Baker was advised that the gelding would be required to complete a 1000m gallop to the stewards satisfaction prior to its next start.
 
FISHBURGER – Raced four wide without cover throughout.

GRAVITY FORCE – Slow to begin. Raced three wide with cover throughout.
 
SCHMIZO – Hampered  at the start and as a result settled further back than anticipated. When questioned in relation to the seemingly disappointing performance Rider L. Tilley explained that after losing ground at the start the gelding resented the kick back and was reluctant to stretch out. He added that in his opinion the gelding may have come to the end of its preparation.
 
THE INTERN – Raced three wide with cover throughout.
 
ISSY COMMAND – Raced four wide without cover throughout.
 
ZOOMING – Blundered at the start. Raced four wide with cover throughout.
 
RACE 4: COCA COLA MAIDEN PLATE – 1200M
 
HEY AMIGO – Slow to muster speed.
 
SELECT ROYAL – Raced three wide without cover throughout. When questioned in relation to the disappointing performance rider D. Griffin explained that the gelding raced flat and never travelled comfortably during the event. He added that in his opinion the gelding would be better suited in races over a greater distance than of today’s event.
 
EDENANNIE – Bumped shortly after the start.
 
LUCKY DEALEN – Blundered at the start.
 
 
RACE 5:SAVANNA ENERGY BENCHMARK 65 HANDICAP – 1200M

GUD ONYA – Blundered badly at the start almost dislodging its rider. Stewards questioned Trainer G Schrader in relation to the improved performance. Mr Schrader advised that the gelding was first up from a spell last start and as a result derived a fitness benefit from the run. He added that the gelding had worked well in preparation for today’s event and as such expected a forward showing.
 
MR OPURRTUNIST – Jumped in the air at the start.
 
DITZY DARCI – Steadied to avoid heels leaving the home straight on the first occasion when POTEMKIN (P Hamblin) shifted in when not completely clear. Rider P Hamblin was reprimanded as a result of this incident.
