1st – Daintree Crossing 2nd – Ryjatah 3rd – Compulsive 4th – Hurricane Lass

J. Holder, rider of CAPO DI CAPI, was found guilty of a charge of careless riding, in that near the 1500m he permitted his mount to shift in when not sufficiently clear of RYJATAH (A. Spinks), resulting in that horse being taken in on COOLY ROAD (M. Traecey), which had to be checked. A short distance after this incident, OSCAR OSETETCH (D. Griffin) and MIGHTY NATURAL (I. French) both raced in restricted room and made contact, becoming unbalanced. J. Holder was suspended from riding in races for a period covered by 7 meetings, to commence at midnight, 9 April, and to expire at midnight, 21 April 2007.

A post race veterinary examination of MIGHTY NATURAL failed to reveal any abnormalities.

REFLECT AND DREAM (K. Wharton) was slow to begin.

J. Quinnell, rider of COUNT DE RETZ, was cautioned for abruptly reducing the pace of his mount after leaving the 1300m, which resulted in MR RUMPOLE (B. El-Issa) having to be checked after improving on to the heels of COUNT DE RETZ (J. Quinnell).

MR RUMPOLE was inclined to lay in in the straight.

MR RUMPOLE was examined by the club's veterinary surgeon after the race and was found to have sustained a laceration to the inside of the off foreleg.

ORGANISED (P. Wolfgram) and CELESTIAL BLAZE (M. Rice) were tightened for room between BELCHER (A. Taylor) and MY LAST CENT (S. Drake) when both horses shifted ground at the start.

S. Campton, rider of ASITUATION, was found guilty of a charge of careless riding, in that he permitted his mount to shift in near the 800m when not sufficiently clear of MR DAYBREAK, resulting in that horse being taken in on to ORGANISED (P. Wolfgram), which was checked. S. Campton was suspended from riding in races for a period covered by 8 meetings.

S. Camtpon, rider of ASITUATION, was also found guilty of a charge of careless riding, in that near the 100m he permitted his mount to shift in when not sufficiently clear of PRETERNATURALLY (N. Tomizawa), resulting in that horse having to be checked and lose its position. S. Campton was suspended from riding in races for a period covered by 10 meetings. Stewards ordered that this period of suspension be served concurrently with the period of suspension incurred near the 800m, to commence at midnight, 7 April and to expire at midnight, 21 April 2007.

Near the 500m, ASITUATION had to be checked when attempting to take a run where there was doubtful room to the inside of CELESTIAL BLAZE (M. Rice), which had been racing greenly.

J. Powell reported that as a result of WEST OF HOLLYWOOD jumping awkwardly the saddle shifted back a short distance after the start and the horse attempted to buck. He added that from that point onwards he was at a disadvantage and was unable to ride the horse due to the displacement of the saddle. Trainer’s representative Mr S. Crawford confirmed that the saddle had been displaced on returning to the enclosure.
