MISS PIERATA – In regard to the scratching after nominations of the filly MISS PEIRATA, Trainer Mr, Fred Wieland provided advice to stewards that he was not entirely happy with its trackwork early Thursday, and later that morning the filly was identified to have an elevated temperature. He then decided to scratch MISS PEIRATA from this meeting also taking into consideration a lengthy float trip to Einasleigh and return trip to Cairns would not be in the best interests regarding the filly’s welfare. Stewards noted his explanation.

FLY WITH YOU – On weigh in App. T. LESLIGHT reported he believed the gelding’s had been disadvantaged immediately after jumping by the barrier wing rebounding and wished to view the race footage with a view to having his mount declared a non-runner.  After viewing the only available footage and then speaking with the starter and the head on stewards’ observation of the start, FLY WITH YOU was declared a runner in the race and correct weight was given on the judges semaphored numbers.

RACE 3: HUNGRY POSSUM BENCHMARK 60 Handicap 1020 Metres.

GUAPO – Began awkwardly and settled at the tail of the field. Correct weight was delayed when the rider Ms. A THOMSON requested to view the race footage over the last 100 metres.

She then remained one off the rail outside that horse and at approximately 1400 metres point whilst in the process of making the turn the gelding then came off the bridle and laid out momentarily despite her efforts and made the turn awkward and lost ground. Ms Shred’s explanation was noted by the stewards.
