POWER FIRE hung out from the 600m.

Near the 500m, JETINTOIT (R. McMahon) became very unbalanced.

A post race veterinary examination of SHUKRIYA revealed the horse had a slow recovery rate and was stepping slightly short in front, indicative of jarring up. Trainer R. Heathcote indicated that the filly would now be sent for a spell.

Trainer T. Gorring advised RING TRUE would be ridden more forward if circumstances permit. RING TRUE subsequently raced midfield in a 3-wide position.

RED'S THE GO (J. Byrne) was slow to begin.

Near the 1000m, CANDY WAVES (A. Allen) was steadied and shifted in behind LADYWIVENHOE (S. Bogenhuber), resulting in BLUE MINI (L. Tarrant) having to be steadied. A. Allen, rider of CANDY WAVES, was severely reprimanded.

Near the 900m, CANDY WAVES was restrained off the heels of LADY WIVENHOE (S. Bogenhuber). BLUE MINI (L. Tarrant), which was following CANDY WAVES, was also steadied.

RING TRUE (M. Cahill) raced 3 wide throughout without cover.


Race 4: Jim Beam Maiden H'cap - 1300m

Trainer R. Heathcote advised that LATERBRUNNEN, which was ridden forward at its last 2 starts and failed to finish the races off, will be ridden back in the field from the awkward draw today. The horse was ridden accordingly.

In the early and middle stages, SACKFUL (B. Stewart) was caught 3 wide and allowed to stride forward and cross to a position outside the lead near the 700m.

Near the 500m, LONHIE ROCKS (M. Cahill) and EXEMPLARY (D. Browne) came together due mainly to EXEMPLARY endeavouring to shift out from behind SACKFUL.

From the 200m, DUNLAP (A. Butler) was inconvenienced by MALALA (R. Wiggins), which shifted out.

Close to the winning post, MR SANCHEZ (V. Colgan), which was inclined to hang in towards the heels of PINTERRA (G. Goold) and had to be restrained.

Trainer S. Kendrick was fined $100 for initially presenting QUEEN CAESAR without winkers, which was part of its approved gear.

PIPPI LONGSOCKS (B. Gylls) was slow to begin.

Near the 1300m, HOT AUGUSTA (L. Tarrant), which was inclined to run in away, was restrained to avoid the heels of QUEEN CAESAR (T. Bell).

Due mainly to the pace in the early stages, both PINK DIAMONDS (M. Cahill) and PIPPI LONGSOCKS overraced.

In the early part of the straight, PINBALL LASS (B. Appo) was unable to find clear running until near the 300m.

PIPPI LONGSOCKS lost its near hind plate in running.


Race 7: Ticketek CG&E Class 3 H'cap - 1500m

Trainer K. Schweida advised that the intention would be to ride midfield with cover unless the tempo of the race was moderate. The horse was subsequently ridden in a rearward position.

SADDLEBACK (J. Byrne) and CANNY BE FAMOUS (R. Jamieson) overraced badly in the early and middle stages.

In the straight, CANNY BE FAMOUS hung in and proved difficult to ride.

LEE HO FOOK (S. Payne) raced wide throughout.



Race 8: Racing Retro Benchmark 80 H'cap - 1600m

Trainer M. Dunn was fined $100 for failing to declare a rider for WINGARA by the prescribed time.

Trainer P. Busuttin was fined $100 for failing to declare a rider for GOLD CAPE by the prescribed time.

COMAHNI (L. Tarrant) was slow to begin.

HOUR OF PERIL (M. Cahill) was restrained at the start from its wide barrier to a rearward position.

Making the turn near the 1300m, SLYSERA (G. Goold) commenced to overrace and shifted out, resulting in COMAHNI being taken wider.

Near the 1000m, HOW FAIRDINKUM (A. Allen) shifted in away from COMAHNI and made heavy contact with WIND WAND (R. McMahon).

For some distance after the 600m, HOUR OF PERIL was held up behind WND WAND and was unable to improve into the race until near the 400m.

MUHAAJIR bled from both nostrils during the race. Connections were advised that MHAAJIR would be barred from racing for a period of 3 months.



Race 9: Channel Seven Class 3 H'cap - 1200m

PURRFECTLYFEARLESS (JKokatajlo) was slow to begin.

Shortly after the start, WARHOGG (T. Bell) was inconvenienced when I SMARTICUS (V. Colgan), which shifted in slightly.

COUNTY COMMAND (L. Tarrant) raced wide without cover.

R. Jamieson reported that WATLING hung throughout the race until straightening.

R. McMahon explained that BEAU JEZ raced behind midfield as expected and obtained cover in the early stages. He said near the 700m it was reluctant to hold its position between I DO CARE (L. Rolls) and I SMARTICUS and dropped the bit. Jockey McMahon said for this reason he endeavoured to ride the horse along, however it did not respond and on straightening, and with clear running, despite his urgings, BEAU JEZ never quickened and, in his opinion, was most disappointing. He added the horse had been working well and he was confident of its chances today. Mr G. Thompson, stable representative, was unable to add to the comments by his rider and said the horse has only been in his stable for a short time. Mr Thompson undertook to report to stewards any abnormality that becomes apparent in the following days. A post race veterinary examination of BEUA JEZ failed to reveal any significant abnormalities.
