Due to transport difficulties Jockey P Hamblin was unable to attend the meeting with rider changes as per the stewards summary.
 
Race 1: V.J. BUTLER MEMORIAL SUMMER PROVINCIAL SERIES - HEAT BENCHMARK 72 Hand 1300 metres

COLPO DI TAMBURO - Jockey B Moffat was issued a reprimand under AR132(7)(a)(ii) for using his whip on more than 5 occasions prior to the 100m, that being 6 occasions.
 
FISH ON - Tightened for room on jumping and lost ground. Raced wide from the 700m. Upon returning to scale Jockey S Bogenhuber reported that in her opinion the gelding was not suited by the undulating nature of the Toowoomba track.
 
JOCHBERG - Near the 550m was eased when ROSSMAY (Jockey G Goomany) improved onto heels and was forced to shift out.
 
TYCOON STREET - Steadied from heels near the 550m. Near the 400m improved onto heels and was checked and then had some difficulties securing clear running in the early stages of the home straight.
 
ROSSMAY - Near the 550m improved onto heels and shifted out.
 
Race 2: BUTLERS CONCRETE CONTRACTORS BENCHMARK 58 Handicap 1000 metres
 
Start was delayed due to a plumbing issue which lead to no water being available in the tie up stall area for a short time. After this matter was resolved the starting time was amended to 6:00pm.
 
KAORU KING - Began awkwardly. Raced wide without cover until a point near the 500m. Stewards questioned trainer J Edwards in relation to the seemingly improved performance. Mr Edwards advised that as the gelding was having its first start for his stable in tonight’s event, he was unable to comment on the horses’ prior form. Mr Edwards did however advise that the gelding had jumped out well in preparation for tonight’s event and as such had expected a forward showing. Stewards noted the explanation.
 
AMERICAN CROWN - Began awkwardly making heavy contact with another runner.
 
INTIMATE TYCOON - Knuckled shortly after the start.
 
SUPER FREAK - Due to transport difficulties App K Cowan was delayed arriving on course and was unable to fulfill her engagement for race 2 and therefore was replaced by App M Savva.

Race 3: AUSTMIX AUSTRALIA BENCHMARK 58 Handicap 1000 metres
 
ACCUMULATED - Laid in under pressure in the home straight. When questioned regarding the below market expectation performance App. N Fazakerley advised that after beginning well the gelding was able to obtain its customary forward position however during the event the gelding was unable to settle as a result of AFTER THE STORM racing keenly to its outside. App N Fazakerley was of the opinion this factor, combined with the large weight impost the gelding was required to carry were the major contributing factors to the performance. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no significant abnormalities.
 
HEART OF KINGS - Jockey P Randall was issued a $300 fine under AR132(7)(a)(ii) for using his whip on more than 5 occasions prior to the 100m, that being 7 occasions.
 
CONQUER MEE - Began awkwardly. Near the 800m momentarily steadied to avoid heels. Laid out in the early stages.
 
SHE'S CROWNED - Tightened for room at the start and lost ground. Near the 600m laid in and made contact with the running rail and as a result became unbalanced. When questioned to the below performance expectation trainer P Sexton reported the mare had been working well and could offer no tangible explanation for the performance. Mr Sexton undertook to advise stewards in the days subsequent to tonight’s meeting should any abnormality become apparent which may have had an effect on the mare’s performance in tonight’s event. A post-race veterinary examination revealed the mare to have a poor post-race recovery.
 
AFTER THE STORM - After being bumped near the 250m was taken in by another runner.
 
DREAMALINA - Tightened for room at the start and lost ground. Laid in under pressure in the home straight. Jockey V Venkaya was issued a $300 fine under AR132(7)(a)(ii) for using his whip on more than 5 occasions prior to the 100m, that being 6 occasions.

TOUCH OF BALI - Laid in under pressure in the home straight. When questioned in relation to the performance of the filly which was a last start winner Jockey K Yoshida advised that after beginning well he was caught wide and therefore elected to restrain to a mid-field position with cover in an endeavour to obtain a position closer to the rail. Jockey K Yoshida advised that as a result of this the filly raced keenly in the early stages whilst being restrained which he felt resulted in the horse failing to run on from the 600m. Jockey K Yoshida added that in his opinion the filly may have come to the end of its preparation.
