DELAGOS – Slow to begin.

COOLBIE – Laid in under pressure in the home straight.

GET THAT INDYA – When questioned regarding the improved performance, trainer G. Teal advised that in his opinion the gelding resented the kickback at its previous start at Charleville, and as a result raced too far off the pace and was unable to make up ground on that occasion. He felt that today’s performance was due to the reduced kickback and the gelding racing in a more forward position. Stewards noted the explanation.


RACE 5: BENCHMARK 50 H’CAP – 1400M
1ST – ATEACES 2ND – PARANA 3RD – MURPHY’S HUSTER 4TH – KIRKHEATON
