Race 3: CLASS 4 HANDICAP – 1200 metres
Prior to the race trainer R Hay requested permission to remove the tongue-tie from SEVERENCE as the horse had bitten its tongue and the tongue-tie was irritating the horse. A veterinary inspection confirmed this and permission was granted.

Shortly after straightening DAJANETER (D Simmons) shifted in sharply to obtain a run and had to ease from the heels of REGAL TOM when his horse shifted in too far.

Race 4: OPEN HANDICAP - 1200 metres
On the home turn ESPIRE had to be steadied off the heels of BAA HA (J Stephens) when WILKES' JOY (D Rewald) drifted off the fence. CHIEF HARMONY (S Quick) was inconvenienced in the incident when it attempted a run inside WILKES' JOY.

Race 5: OPEN HANDICAP - 2000 metres
HELLO CHIEF (D Simmons) returned to scale lame in the off fore. A veterinary examination revealed the horse was suffering damage to the suspensory ligament.
