At the 300m., B. Prebble, rider of ZULU ZEAL, lost the use of his near-side stirrup iron when it fractured. This disadvantaged B. Prebble to some extent in riding ZULU ZEAL out to the finish line.

At the entrance to the straight, TYPHOON BARNEY had to be steadied momentarily when NARWONG shifted in to obtain clear running.
A veterinary examination of KIWI HERO, which weakened in the straight, revealed that gelding had sustained a small laceration to the inside of the off hind pastern.
RACE 6: GREENSLOPES PRIVATE HOSPITAL QUEENSLAND GUINEAS SUPER QRIS ADDED STAKES - 1600M.
M. Carson was the replacement rider for CRYPTAVIA after J. Byrne had been dually engaged for CRYPTAVIA and THE GOLDEN DANE. A $100 fine was imposed on J. Byrne.
After being loaded, PLAY STATION became fractious in the barriers, which necessitated that horse undergoing a veterinary examination. PLAY STATION was passed fit to start.
Approaching the 1400m., PLAY STATION had to be steadied off the heels of STARTELL, which shifted in.
At the 1300m., THE GOLDEN DANE shifted in and made contact with CRYPTAVIA. CRYPTAVIA overreacted by getting its head up and as a consequence lost ground. FAIRWAY, which shifted in to assume a position behind CRYPTAVIA, was obliged to shift in more abruptly off the heels of CRYPTAVIA when that horse lost ground, resulting in TELESIO being checked when tightened on to the running rail. FAIRWAY, when unbalanced, continued to lay in on TELESIO for some distance, resulting in both horses losing ground. STARTELL, which was following, had to be steadied as a consequence.
