Race 4
Deep Blue Sea Connections advised it would be the intention that the horse secure a more forward position. Attempted to go forward from a wide gate, however, when left awkwardly placed four wide near the 1100m, was then restrained to a trailing position. When asked to comment on the horse’s performance, apprentice B. Nothdurft stated that whilst he was satisfied he occupied a good forward trailing position, and whilst he believed the horse felt comfortable on today’s firmer surface, it failed to respond to his riding over the final 600m. Vetted and found to have cardiac arrhythmia. Beaudesert 19/05/2018
The Candy Man As jockey R. McMahon’s arrival on course was delayed, D. Griffin was substituted as the rider of the horse. When asked to comment on the performance of the horse, jockey Griffin indicated his mount raced quite greenly in the early and middle stages after he had been instructed to allow the horse to settle out of the barriers. He indicated that, in his opinion, the gelding finished the race off strongly despite laying in form the 400m onwards. He added that trainer Mr B. Baldwin suggested he would now look to spell the horse Sunshine Coast 08/05/2016

Race 6
All Gifts Reared as the start was effected, after which it became momentarily cast, almost dislodging jockey L. Dittman, and missing the start and losing significant ground, following which it failed to take any competitive part in the event.

Vetted, no significant findings. Trainer A. Willick was advised that the gelding must compete in an official barrier trial. Reinstated Gold Coast trial 7/8/18. Beaudesert 07/04/2018
