TRUE COLOURS – Lost the off fore plate in running.
 
Race 2: TAYLOR BUILDING GROUP CLASS 3 H’CAP – 1300M
 
JAYDEE INDY – After being caught wide in the early stages, jockey T. Allan elected to restrain his mount to obtain a position closer to the rail near the 1100m. When questioned by Stewards regarding the seemingly disappointing performance, jockey T. Allan advised that the gelding felt somewhat flat today, and did not travel comfortably at any stage of the race. Trainer K. Young expressed disappointment in the performance, and advised that he will now give consideration to the horse’s options at this stage of its preparation, which may include sending it for a spell. A post-race veterinary examination of the gelding revealed no significant findings.
 
MARAWAKA – Jockey N. Thomas accidentally dropped his whip over the concluding stages.
 
FOXLEIGH – Began awkwardly and lost ground.
 
MORNING FARE – Jockey R. Goldsbury reported that her mount had a tendency to hang in throughout and proved difficult to ride.
 
Race 3: MITAVITE BENCHMARK 65 H’CAP – 1640M
 
BENICO’S PRINCE – Began awkwardly and then attempted to savage the rider of LOTZA which was drawn to its outside. Stewards placed a warning on the gelding for its racing manners, and advised Trainer P. Kings that should the horse reoffend at a future start it will be required to barrier trial to the satisfaction of Stewards prior to next racing. Raced keenly in the early and middle stages.
 
PRICELESS DE HERO – When questioned by Stewards in relation to the gelding’s seemingly improved performance, Trainer P. Webster advised that he had expected a forward showing today, however he had been somewhat surprised that the gelding had won tonight’s race. Mr.  Webster did however note that the gelding performs best when ridden by Apprentice White who has been successful on the horse on 3 previous occasions.
 
RITCHFORD – Raced keenly in the early and middle stages.
 
LOTZA – Jockey E. Ljung was fined $200 for excessive use of the whip prior to the 100m.

APIDAE – Raced in restricted room for a short distance shortly after the start.
 
PATRICK’S ME MATE – Raced wide without cover throughout. Bumped approaching the 400m and became unbalanced. Shifted out marginally passing the 200m and, as a result, was bumped on the hindquarters by another runner which shifted in marginally at that point causing PATRICK’S ME MATE to become unbalanced.
 
EXCEEDINGLY MEHGA – Tightened for room on jumping away and lost ground. Tightened for room after passing the winning post when LOVE YA LAD (App. N. Fazackerley) shifted in. Apprentice Fazackerley was reprimanded a result of this incident.

Race 6: SHANNON SIGN COMPANY CLASS 4 PLATE – 2025M

UBIRR ROCK – Raced keenly in the early stages. Jockey E. Ljung reported that the gelding felt flat today and, in her opinion, did not back up from its run 7 days prior to today’s race.
