| 3 | 58.0kg | - | 1-24.85 | 800m: 6th 400m: 4th | Jumped away awkwardly and became unbalanced after making contact with another runner. Tightened for room on a number of occasions between the 1000m and 800m. N. Thomas, rider of DIAMONDINE, was advised to exercise more care in similar circumstances | $3.50 | ||

| 6 | 55.0kg | 1.70 | 800m: 1st 400m: 1st | Trainer S. Barling was questioned regarding the tactics adopted. He stated he instructed his rider to be positive out of the barriers. Stewards advised Mr Barling as this resulted in the horse being ridden differently to its most recent start, in similar circumstances he would be expected to notify them of a change in tactics. | $15 | |||
| 7 | 54.5kg | 1.80 | 800m: 2nd 400m: 2nd | - | $8 | |||

| 11 | 59.0kg | 3.00 | 800m: 7th 400m: 6th | Overraced in the early stages when the horse it was following was being restrained. Apprentice Orman was then obliged to shift out to avoid heels near the 1000m and as a result raced 4 wide without cover for the remainder of the event. | $4.80 | |||
| 10 | 54.5kg | 3.10 | 800m: 12th 400m: 11th | After being held up in traffic, underwent a veterinary examination and cleared to take its place in the field. Slow to begin. Stewards asked apprentice C. Dell to comment on the performance. He indicated that the horse was slow to begin and he was forced to ride his mount further back in the field than he would have liked and was also obliged to pressure the horse from the 700m and despite this the horse responded to his riding over the final 300m and was doing its best work over the concluding stages. He indicated the horse would appreciate the step up to 1600m. | $26 | |||

| 1 | 54.0kg | 11.70 | 800m: 3rd 400m: 10th | Bumped its near-side hip when entering the saddling enclosure. A subsequent veterinary examination cleared the horse to start. The horse lost its near hind plate and when this plate was unable to be replaced, the off side plate was removed and the horse was permitted to race barefoot behind. Hung out from the 800m. A warning was placed on the horse’s overall performance as it weakened badly in the home straight. | $41 | |||
