The following runners were scratched by order of Stewards at 12:15pm when no suitable riders were available;
 
Race 2- SILENTUS, ANOTHER EPISODE

Race 1: CORFIELD TRANSPORT BENCHMARK 65 HANDICAP 1200m
 
GO DIAMONDS- Stewards permitted Jockey S Sheargold to ride the mare 1kg over its allocated weight when no other ride was available.
 
BENECHI PEGASUS- Stewards permitted the gelding to race in blinkers after, due to a clerical error, this was not displayed in the official program, patrons were advised via oncourse announcement. Began very awkwardly and was slow into stride.
 
REVEL IN THE CHAOS- Stewards permitted the gelding to race in blinkers after, due to a clerical error, this was not displayed in the official program, patrons were advised via oncourse announcement. Commenced to race ungenerously passing the 400m. Jockey F Edwards advised that at that point in the race his mount commenced to resent the heavy kickback and he was also obliged to adjust his off-side iron after becoming unbalanced.

Race 2: KENNEDY RURAL BRACELET MAIDEN PLATE 1200m
 
DOLLARDREAM- Inclined to hang out down the running. Stewards inquired into Jockey J Babarovichs lack of vigour over the concluding stages on the event. Jockey Babarovich advised that his mount had been inclined to hang-out down the running and as such approaching the winning post he was obliged to straighten his mount and was therefore unable to ride the mare out to the finish of the race. Stewards noted the explanation, nonetheless Jockey Babarovich was severely reprimanded under the provisions of AR131(b), in determining penalty Stewards were mindful of the mares racing manners. Trainer K Krogh was advised the mare would be required to trial satisfactorily prior to again being permitted to start in a race. A post-race veterinary examination failed to reveal any abnormalities.
