Race 1: XXXX Gold Class 3 Plate – 1800 metres

ROMANOV – When questioned regarding the late declaration of D. Hayse as rider, trainer T. Button explained that as he had declared a rider who was dually engaged, circumstances prevented him from declaring a rider earlier than he had. Whilst accepting the explanation, stewards nonetheless advised Mr Button that riders should be declared at the earliest convenience. Raced keenly in the early and middle stages. Bumped and taken wider leaving the 600m when another runner improved to the inside.

HOT LOVE HIGHWAY – As the horse had competed at Thangool on Saturday, the gelding underwent a pre-race veterinary examination and was cleared to start.

Race 2: 2017 Rocky Floods Open Handicap – 1400 metres

White stated that her mount overraced in the early stages and leaving the 800m was able to balance up and at the 500m, when placed under pressure, did not sprint or respond to her riding and was disappointing. Trainer K. Johnston explained that she had concerns with the timing between runs and the fitness of the horse going into today's engagement and was of the opinion that the horse would derive benefit from the run.

UNO KATY – Near the 500m was held up momentarily behind STORM UP, which was tiring. Stewards questioned apprentice Z. White in relation to her riding in the early stages. She stated that her instructions were to obtain cover. She said that the horse had begun well and she was aware that it could race strongly and have a tendency to overrace so she was able to obtain cover, balance the horse up and, racing in this manner, the horse was able to finish the race off well and may benefit with a step up in distance.
