LAKOUDIS – R. McMahon reported that his mount raced greenly throughout and was under pressure to hold its position in the early and middle stages and he indicated that the horse would appreciate a step up in distance. Stewards questioned jockey McMahon regarding his riding over the concluding stages. He accepted that he had failed to ride his mount out to the conclusion of the race. Stewards were of the view that his actions had no material effect on the horse’s placing, however reminded him of his obligations under the rules.
 
SNITZEL’S JOY – Jumped awkwardly.
 
SUN HOLIDAY – Slow to begin. J. Orman reported that his mount could not muster early speed and that he had to pressure the horse during the early and middle stages and finished the race off well. He added that in his opinion the horse will appreciate a step up in distance.

MOLOTOFF – Slow to begin. Hampered near the 1250m, forced inwards and was forced inside the line of the false running rail and as a result had to be checked and lost ground.
 
PRIMAL TOUCH – Had to be steadied when tightened for room whilst overracing near the 1250m. Checked from heels when the pace slackened leaving the 800m.
 
SIR PLUCKA – A post-race veterinary examination revealed a minor laceration to the off foreleg.

MARTIAL ART – Slow to begin.
 
BUTCHER BLUE – Laid in under pressure in the home straight.
 
WINDFLEET – Raced wide throughout.
 
OUR ROCK O’REILLY – Stewards questioned B. Panya regarding the tactics adopted and the performance of the horse. She indicated that after riding the horse forward, as is the horse’s racing pattern, she initially intended settling to the outside of DANDOG, however when her mount raced keenly she elected to allow the horse to stride passing the 1000m in an attempt to cross that horse, however DANDOG continued to hold its position to the inside, and whilst her mount did settle somewhat when approaching the 600m, the gelding was immediately under pressure passing the 400m and was disappointing in the run to the line. She felt, despite having a hard run, the horse was entitled to finish the race off better than it did.
 
DANDOG – J. Hoopert was questioned regarding his tactics. He indicated that he had been instructed to stride forward and he had been instructed to avoid overly restraining the horse. He indicated that he therefore attempted to hold the fence from the 1200m, however did steady his mount approaching the 800m. Stewards noted the explanation.
 
TOP PEAK – Bumped and forced wider near the 500m and then again after passing the 400m.
 
BRIALKA LODGE – Awkwardly placed at heels rounding the home turn and then made contact with another runner after passing the 400m.
 
Race 7: STEVE VENN (CENTURY 21 COASTAL) CLASS 3 H'CAP – 1200M
 
DEITCH – Raced wide without cover throughout.
