RED REASON – Began awkwardly. Held up rounding the home turn. Jockey Matthew Palmer reported that his intention was to take up a position closer to the speed however, after beginning well the gelding was inclined to race greenly in the early stages which resulted in him settling in a midfield position.

IN BAVARIA – Began awkwardly. Passing the 800m had to be steadied from the heels of RED REASON.

ROCKY EXPECTATIONS – Began awkwardly, shifted out and bumped PRINCE OF THE TURF and as a result became unbalanced.

Race 6: Gold Coast Event Centre Class 3 H’Cap – 1200m
1st – Golfing 2nd – Another Girl 3rd – Aquator 4th – Heartbreak Harry

Momentarily held up on the heels of BREEZE ON BY near the 300m. Awkwardly placed at the heels of ANOTHER GIRL near the 200m.

WORTH THE WAIT – Began awkwardly.

ANOTHER GIRL – Slow to begin.

LITTLE FIGHTER – Began awkwardly and shifted out abruptly. Upon return to scale App T. Brooker reported that it was her intention to take up a forward position today however, after beginning awkwardly the mare failed to muster speed in the early stages resulting in her travelling wide throughout. App Brooker added that despite travelling wide throughout the mare failed to respond when placed under pressure rounding the home turn and proved disappointing. A post race veterinary examination revealed no abnormalities.

HEARTBREAK HARRY – Blundered on jumping away.


Race 7: Manly Concrete Class 1 H’Cap – 1100m
1st – Stormcraft 2nd – Raise Your Spirits 3rd – Bold Attraction 4th – Bullitt County

BAY RAIDER – Blundered on jumping away.

BULLITT COUNTY – Hung in during the home straight.

CONCETTA – When questioned as to the tactics adopted App K. Stanley stated that her instructions were to position the mare where it was comfortable in the run. App Stanley added that bearing in mind these instructions she was content to take up a midfield position despite beginning well. App Stanley added that near the 800m she was obliged to steady from the heels of BOLD ATTRACTION and then had difficulty obtaining clear running rounding the home turn and in the early stages of the home straight. App Stanley conceded that in hindsight she should have pressured the mare in the early stages to maintain a handy position outside of BOLD ATTRACTION.

BOLD ATTRACTION – App S. Eilbeck reported that the horse raced greenly in the early and middle stages and as a consequence lost ground on the leaders leaving the 600m, despite her efforts. App Eilbeck noted that the horse was having its first start back from a spell and in her opinion had resented racing inside of other runners today. App Eilbeck indicated that connections would consider adding blinkers and stepping it up in distance at its next start.

Race 8: CSQUARED Design Class 2 H’Cap – 1800m
1st – Time’s Up 2nd – Magnetic Star 3rd – Lost Thief 4th – Havana Cigar

SHE’S A RUBY – Trainer M. Dunn was fined $100.00 for failing to scratch the horse by the prescribed time.

BY THE VINES – Rounding the turn near the 1400m was inclined to hang out when overracing and had to be steadied from heels. Near the 1300m had to be steadied when tightened for room by HAVANA CIGAR, which was laying in.

TIME’S UP – Passing the 1200m improved onto the heels of CASINO BLUE, shifted out and allowed to stride forward to take up a position outside the leader.

LOST THIEF – Obliged to stop riding over the concluding stages when awkwardly placed at the heels of TIME’S UP.

HAVANA CIGAR – When asked to comment on the performance jockey N. Day stated that the gelding was not suited by the slow tempo of today’s race. Jockey Day stated that in hindsight he should have pushed forward leaving the 1000m when the pace slowed in an effort to maintain a position to the inside of MAGNETIC STAR when that runner improved forward in a 3 wide position. Jockey Day added that as a consequence the gelding was left flatfooted when the tempo increased leaving the 600m.

Race 9: Nairn Constructions Class 2 H’Cap – 1400m
1st – High Degree 2nd – Percules 3rd – Resetalenko 4th – Duorosa

DANISH HOMBRE – Began awkwardly, shifted out and bumped HIGH DEGREE. Near the 800m steadied from the heels of CAPTAIN WINGS and shifted out.

HIGH DEGREE – Bumped on jumping away. Passing the 800m taken wider by another runner and raced 3 wide from that point onwards.

PERCULES – Shifted out under pressure in the home straight. When questioned as to the tactics adopted jockey L. Rolls stated that he was given no specific instructions today. Jockey Rolls stated that the gelding had drawn wide barriers at its previous 2 starts where he was forced to settle further back in the field in order to obtain cover. Jockey Rolls further added that from a more favourable barrier today his intention was to take up a handy position with cover. When the field began on terms he was forced to pressure the gelding in the early stages so as not to be caught 3 wide after which it then overraced, which resulted in him leading today, which was not his intention. The explanation was noted.

BLACKJACK PRINCESS – Had difficulty obtaining clear running rounding the home turn and in the early stages of the home straight.

QUANDIALLA – Raced wide throughout.
