Race 1:  TAB Class 5 Plate – 1400m
 
BASTIA – When  questioned regarding the performance of the gelding, jockey M. Cahill  stated his mount failed to respond to his riding when asked for an effort over the final 400m. He  indicated he was not entirely satisfied with the horse’s action and felt it would be better suited to softer racing surfaces.  A post race veterinary examination failed to reveal any significant abnormalities. A swab sample was taken.
 
 
Race 2: Glass FX Class 2 Plate – 1000m
 
CHEVY NOVA – Jumped away awkwardly and made contact with the barrier partition, and was then tightened for room.  Laid in throughout the event and particularly under pressure in the home straight and as a result made contact with SNICKI MINAJ, near the 250m.
 
DUCHESS DASHALOT – Shifted out at the start, tightening another runner.
 
REMLAPS ROCK – Jumped away awkwardly and made contact with VALLEY CROSSING and lost ground. When obliged to race wide was inconvenienced and had to be steadied approaching the 600m to avoid the heels of CHEVY NOVA.  Bumped and forced wider by another runner approaching the 300m. Jockey Wiggins reported  his mount, in his opinion, may be looking for races over longer distances at this stage of its preparation.
 
SMART DEVIL – After having difficulty securing clear running rounding the home turn and in the early stages of the home straight, shifted out to obtain clear running and in doing so made contact with another runner, when approaching the 300m.
 
SNICKI MINAJ – Apprentice B. Nothdurft advised that after travelling comfortably in the early and middle stages the horse did not extend when asked for an effort in the home straight and was, in his opinion, somewhat disappointing.  Bumped by another runner near the 250m. A post race veterinary examination failed to reveal any significant abnormalities.
 
 
Race 3:  GT Print Maiden Plate – 1200m
 
SO YOU BEAUTY – Slow to begin, then raced wide throughout.  Laid out under pressure in the straight.
 
FLYING HONOUR – When the pace slackened after passing the 1000m commenced to overrace and had to be checked from heels near the 900m and as a result shifted wider on the track, inconveniencing another runner.

1000m
 
CHAMPAGNE AUNTY – Slow to begin.  Raced greenly throughout the event, laid in passing the 700m, making heavy contact with the running rail and lost significant ground.  Trainer S. Tregea was informed that a warning would be placed on the filly’s racing manners.   Stewards inquired into an incident which occurred approaching the 400m.  After taking evidence from jockey A. Fancourt, rider of WHISTLIN’ ARROW, and apprentice M. Murphy, rider of CHAMPAGNE AUNTY, it was established that when attempting to improve after passing the 500m to the inside of WHISTLIN’ ARROW, there was a slight shift inwards from WHISTLIN’ ARROW. As a result of this, apprentice Murphy called to jockey Fancourt and then elected to shift out to attempt to obtain a position outside that runner, at this point WHISTLIN’ ARROW was directed outwards and as a result CHAMPAGNE AUNTY improved onto that horse’s heels and blundered badly, losing significant ground.
