ANGELICAN – Raced in restricted room for a short distance leaving the 900m.

AL HAMZA – Raced wide for the majority of the race. When questioned regarding the disappointing performance, apprentice T. Brooker advised that after beginning well she attempted to obtain a forward position, however was unable to show sufficient speed to do so, which resulted in her being caught wide. She added that when placed under pressure to improve into the race the gelding failed to respond to her riding and proved disappointing. Trainer Mr P. Sexton expressed disappointment in the performance, adding that he would now modify the horse’s training regime and look to start the horse at non TAB venues at its next start if he could identify a suitable race. A post race veterinary examination failed to reveal any significant abnormalities.

MACGYVER – Raced wide without cover.

NANDINE ROAD – Raced wide for the majority of the race.

SORORITY SISTER – Held up from rounding the home turn until near the 200m.

Stewards questioned trainer K. Kemp in relation to the disappointing performance of WAR FRONT, which drifted noticeably in the off-course markets in the race where its stablemate NANDINE ROAD firmed considerably in the off-course markets. Mr Kemp advised that he had expected a forward showing from WAR FRONT tonight based on its overall form, particularly its first 2 race starts in New South Wales prior to entering his stable, and therefore he expressed disappointment in its performance tonight. He added that whilst WAR FRONT is only an average track worker, he still felt its work was reasonable enough to expect it to be competitive in tonight’s event. Mr Kemp further stated he had a small wager on WAR FRONT tonight and could not explain why the horse drifted in the markets in the manner it did, nor could he explain the shortening in the markets on NANDINE ROAD as this market move was not stable inspired. A post race veterinary examination of WAR FRONT failed to reveal any significant abnormalities. Stewards noted the explanation.
