Race 1: MAIDEN PLATE 800 Metres
HEAR COMES FURIO – began awkwardly and lost ground at the start.
YESTERDAY’S MONEY – raced wide throughout and then hampered rounding the home-turn when SHQER CROI hung out.
SHEQER CROI – commenced to hang out leaving the 500m and as a result made the home-turn awkwardly. A post-race Vet exam revealed no significant abnormalities. Trainers representative for Mr B Hudson indicated to Stewards the stable will consider gear changes prior to SHEQER CROI’s next race start.
Race 2: BENCHMARK 65 HDCP 800 Metres
On return to scale a protest was lodged by App H English, rider of 4th placegetter MURRANJI against 3rd placegetter LIVERPOOL JANE alleging interference shortly after the start. After taking evidence from the riders concerned and viewing the available patrol films, Stewards found LIVERPOOL JANE shifted out marginally joining the course proper at the 700m resulting in MURRANJI being steadied when placed in restricted room between LIVERPOOL JANE and MUSIC SCENE which was racing to its immediate outside. Bearing in mind where the incident took place, and the minor shift from LIVERPOOL JANE, Stewards dismissed the protest and correct weight declared on the semaphored placings.
LIVERPOOL JANE –inclined to lay out from majority of the event
MUSIC SCENE – taken wider rounding the home-turn
ORLEANS – raced wide throughout
MURRANJI – taken out shortly after the start and obliged to steady from heels.
