Race 2: Wilpak Wholesale Meats Open H'cap - 1800m

AKAVOROUN – Jockey M. Cahill reported at scale the step up in distance and the increase in weight for the gelding may have contributed to the poor performance. A post race veterinary examination revealed the gelding to be stepping short in the off foreleg.

BEST CASE – When questioned regarding the improved performance, trainer S. O'Dea advised he had schooled gelding over the hurdles in preparation for this event and this, together with the weight drop from 60 kilograms to 54 kilograms, were contributing factors in the winning performance today.

JETSET LAD – Had to be steadied when tightened for room passing the 1400m. Jockey M. Cahill, rider of AKAVOROUN, was reprimanded and advised to be fully clear when shifting ground.

Race 4: Qld Thoroughbred Breeders Benchmark 75 H'cap - 2200m

IN THE KITTY – When questioned regarding the tactics adopted on the horse and the performance today, jockey R. McMahon stated he had been instructed to ride the mare more conservatively today to allow it to run out a strong 2200m, and that whilst his mount travelled well in the middle stages, it was under pressure prior to the home turn. A post race veterinary examination revealed the mare to be coughing. Trainer B. Smith will be interviewed regarding today's performance.

MORENDI – Had to be steadied and shifted out to avoid heels approaching the 1800m. Apprentice J. Oliver, rider of PANNO ROSSA, was reprimanded and advised to be fully clear when shifting ground.

ANTON EN AVANT – When questioned regarding the improved performance, trainer S. Lee stated that he was disappointed with the horse's performance at its previous start at Doomben, however prior to that the gelding raced well at Grafton on 10 June.
