Race 1: Channel Seven Benchmark 90 H'cap - 1800m
1st – Transporter 2nd – Playaction 3rd – Music Maestro 4th – Satch

Correct weight was delayed to allow stewards to view the official video close to the winning post where it appeared that the winner TRANSPORTER made contact with the 2nd placegetter PLAY ACTION. After reviewing the footage, it was found that as both hoses passed the finish line, TRANSPORTER shifted in and brushed PLAYACTION. Stewards were satisfied this did not affect the finishing positions of both horses and correct weight was semaphored on the Judge’s placings.

BLOODHOUND (J. Lloyd) was slow to begin.

DANAGAZE (K. Matheson) jumped away awkwardly and lost ground.

On the finish line, TRANSPORTER (M. Cahill) shifted in and brushed PLAYACTION.

When the pace steadied near the 1400m, both MUSIC MAESTRO (T. Bell) and BLOODHOUND (J. Lloyd) overraced.

Apprentice K. Matheson reported that DANAGAZE was not suited by the slow pace during the race, however added that the gelding did not finish the race off as he had expected. A post race veterinary examination of DANAGAZE failed to reveal any significant abnormalities.

Near the 600m, THEFT (C. Munce) shifted in, tightening the running of FOUND THE ONE (M. Cahill) and GREYZEEL (E. Wilkinson).

A post race veterinary examination of LONE ASSASSIN, which raced wide throughout failed to reveal any significant abnormalities.


Race 4: Redpath Golden Jubilee CG&E Class 6 H'cap - 1400m
1st – Jet Style 2nd – Cyclone Al 3rd – Solebid 4th – Jack’s Back

ON FACE VALUE (J. Lloyd) jumped away awkwardly.

JET STYLE (C. Munce) was held up rounding the home turn and near the 350m shifted out from behind the heels of SOLEBID and brushed DARTH (T. Bell).

At the entrance to the straight, CYCLONE AL (L. Cassidy) shifted out to improve and made contact with ON FACE VALUE, resulting in ON FACE VALUE becoming unbalanced. In this incident, JACK’S BACK (R. McMahon) was taken wider.

JACK’S BACK was inclined to lay in under pressure in the straight.

Race 6: Cox Rayner Architects F&M Class 6 H'cap - 1400m
1st – Cuddlesome 2nd – Flying Jet 3rd – Comahni 4th - Falvelina

COMAHNI, which kicked out with its off hind leg making contact with the rail in the enclosure race, was examined by the veterinary surgeon at the barriers and cleared to race.

Stewards questioned B. Stewart regarding the tactics he adopted on CUDDLESOME. He stated that he had not received any specific instructions, and was prepared to lead, however when COMAHNI (J. Taylor) and JUST DESTINY (T. Bell) improved to his outside shortly after the start, he eased CUDDLESOME to race just off the pace. B. Stewart also advised when the mare won at Lismore on 27 August CUDDLESOME raced back in the field, and the only reason it led at its previous start at Eagle Farm on 15 August was that CUDDLESOME drew wide. The explanation was noted.



Race 7: FDC Construction & Fitout Open H'cap - 1200m
1st – Too Many Reds 2nd – Latin News 3rd – Morning Captain 4th – Favela Star

A pre-race veterinary examination of THE JACKAL cleared the horse to start.

Approaching the 100m, TOO MANY REDS, which improved into a narrow run between MORNING CAPTAIN and LATIN NEWS (D. Browne), was accidentally struck over the head by the whip of D. Browne, rider of LATIN NEWS.
