JESTER DANE – Inconvenienced leaving the 700m and then raced wide throughout without cover.

PUDER – Stewards asked jockey B. Pengelly to comment on the performance of his mount. He indicated that from the wide alley he had been instructed to ride the horse quietly to ensure a position closer to the fence. He indicated that the horse had improved into the race rounding the home turn and after securing clear running in the home straight then had to alter course when ISLAND EMPIRE was shifting in under pressure near the 100m. He further indicated that the horse finished the race off fairly and he would have preferred to settle the horse closer in the field had the horse drawn a better alley. Trainer M.

Race 5: ONE ZERO COMMUNICATIONS QTIS 2YO MAIDEN PLATE – 1400M

The declaration of correct weight was delayed when trainer B. Guy applied to have WICKED QUEEN declared a non-runner on the basis that the filly was denied a fair start. Mr Guy indicated that he felt the barrier attendant had restricted the horse from jumping away as he was of the view that the horse’s head was still being held when the start was effected. After viewing the stewards’ patrol footage and taking evidence from rider B. Ainsworth, stewards were satisfied that whilst the barrier attendant had been holding the horse’s head prior to the start, the horse had become quite fractious before the start was effected and therefore were of the view that other than for the horse’s own barrier manners, the filly was afforded a fair start and correct weight was declared.

FLIGHT PRINCE – Jumped awkwardly. Raced wide throughout.

RALLIER – Had to be steadied from heels when overracing near the 1000m when the pace slackened. Held up rounding the home turn and had to be steadied when placed in restricted room after passing the 400m.
