GENERAL
 
As Jockey G Steele was injured and not riding at the meeting, rider replacements were made as per the Stewards Summary. Jockey Steele will require a medical clearance prior to next riding.
 
Race 1: WEST TECH SYSTEMS & COUNTRY MEATS CLASS B H’CAP 900 metres
 
BRANLINA- Was declared a late scratching by order of the Stewards after becoming fractious in the barriers, and once removed, escaping the handlers, galloping a considerable distance riderless. Upon the declaration of correct weight, Stewards ordered that all monies invested on BRANLINA be refunded with the following deductions to apply-
 
1st- 0 cents the wins, 4 cents the place
2nd- 2 cents the place
3rd- 3 cents the place
 
Stewards advised BRANLINA’S trainer Mr R Cloherty that the mare would be required to obtain 2 further barrier certificates in the presence of Stewards prior to next racing.  In this incident Jockey J Baker advised of some discomfort in his right foot.
 
MOVING DAY- Tightened for room at the start.
 
GENERAL MO- Knuckled on jumping.
 
BETTER BE GREAT- Hung out shifting very wide on the track during the event. Trainer C Smith was advised a warning would be issued against the filly’s racing manners.
 
Race 2: CAFÉ 54 & TAYLORS PARTS CENTRE MAIDEN PLATE 1200 metres
 
STELLAR WITNESS- Began awkwardly losing ground.
 
TWOGOBOOM- Raced 3 wide without cover throughout.
 
Race 3:COMMONWEALTH HOTEL QTIS BENCHMARK 55 HANDICAP 1200 metres
 
PERSAGA- Began awkwardly and was then tightened for room at the start losing ground. When questioned in relation to the below market expectation performance of the filly, trainer C Smith advised that in his opinion after suffering interference at the start the filly was not suited when forced to race at the rear of the field on the tight turning track and as a consequence was unable to run on when placed under pressure in the home straight.

BOOM OR BUST- Tightened for room at the start and lost ground.
 
Race 4: GJ GARDNER HOMES BENCHMARK 65 Handicap
