KARPAREE (M Price) which took charge of its rider in the preliminary and worked strongly for a short distance was inspected by the clubs veterinary surgeon and passed fit to start.

CAXTON STREET (L Appo) which was fractious in the barriers and reared as the start was affected lost considerable ground. W Hoelbech, the stable representative for trainer L Ross was advised a warning would be placed on that horses barrier manners.

RUBBER DUST shifted in slightly near the 1200m causing ABSOLUTE PARADISE (B Thomson) to shift in and tighten the running BINDA GREY (App L Wray) which overreacted and had to be steadied and lose ground. C Eaton the rider of RUBBER DUST was advised to exercise more care.

FIND THE SPIRIT (R Pittman) and CULET (R Hancock) bumped at the start when both horses shifted ground.

Shortly after the start REGAL CHARMER (App M Price) shifted out hampering CLASSY ROSE (App L Wray) which had to be steadied.

JOSHUA EXPRESS (L Appo) shifted in near the 1100m taking SERENA’S GRACE (M Wood) in crowding REGAL CHARMER (App M Price) which had to be steadied. L Appo the rider of JOSHUA EXPRESS was advised to exercise more care when shifting ground.

SERENA’S GRACE (M Wood) raced wide in the early and middle stages.

REGAL CHARMER (App M Price) was unable to obtain clear running over the final 100m and had to be steadied off the heels of JOSHUA EXPRESS (L Appo) near the winning post.

Race 4: SWELLDOWN MAIDEN PLATE – 800M.
1st – DARK DOUGLAS 2nd – HIDE ‘N’ WATCH 3rd – LADY HOUDINI 4th – BIRRAWEE BOY

On return to scale a protest was lodged by M Wood the rider of 2nd placegetter HIDE ‘N’ WATCH, against DARK DOUGLAS (App K Treble) being declared the winner, alleging interference near the 150m was dismissed. In dismissing the protest, stewards were of the opinion that whilst DARK DOUGLAS had shifted in brushing HIDE ‘N’ WATCH, there was a contributing factor of BIRRAWEE BOY (T Unwin) becoming unbalanced and shifting out making contact with HIDE ‘N’ WATCH which inturn made heavy contact with DARK DOUGLAS which also became unbalanced, they were not satisfied that the interference suffered to HIDE ‘N’ WATCH could be attributed to any one rider. Both T Unwin the rider of BIRRAWEE BOY and App K Treble the rider of DARK DOUGLAS were advised to exercise more care in similar circumstances when shifting ground.

J Hoopert the rider of SUBARASHI SHINZOO was dislodged behind the barriers giving him a harmless fall.

MORINGA’S GALLANT (C Eaton) and SARA STREET (App S Bogenhuber) were both slow to begin.

SEPTEMBER GREY (App L Wray) jumped in the air at the start and shifted in bumping DEED’S DODGE (App M Price).

Leaving the 50m DARBARLYN MAGIC (L Appo) began to race ungenerously and shifted in making contact with the inside running rail and then shifted out abruptly almost dislodging it’s rider, as a result of this LADY HOUDININ (C Kearney) which was racing to it’s outside was severely tightened onto BIRRAWEE BOY (T Unwin) and had to be checked when it clipped the heels of DARBARLYN MAGIC which continued to shift out despite the efforts of it’s rider.
B Ashe the trainer of DARBARLYN MAGIC was advised the gelding must complete an official barrier trial to the steward’s satisfaction prior to its next start.
