Race 1: TAB LIVE SKY RACING VISION Colts, Geldings & Entires Class 3 Handicap 1200 metres
 
JUST FAVULOUS – Became fractious in race day stalls and slipped over. A veterinary examination identified lacerations to both hind legs and the gelding to be lame in near hind leg and as such was declared a late scratching at 12:10pm. Trainer F Adams was advised that he will be required to provide a Veterinary Clearance prior to the horse racing or trialing again.
 
GREAT KEPPELL – Raced wide in the early stages.
 
BLUEANT – Over raced in the early stages. A post-race veterinary examination revealed that the gelding had sustained lacerations to its near hind leg which would be consistent with it being galloped on.
