RACE 2: PACIFIC PARADISE ROADHOUSE H'CAP - 1060M.

CATCH STEVE was slow to begin.

MAGIC RIDDLER jumped outwards at the start.

L. Deguara, rider of RHYTHMIC GREY, was found guilty of a charge of careless riding, in that she permitted her mount to shift in near the 800m. at a stage when not clear of COUNTY SPIRIT, resulting in the horse being severely checked by its rider. L. Deguara was suspended from riding in races for a period covered by 8 meetings, to commence at midnight, 3 March, and to expire at midnight, 16 March 2001.

LADY OF FIRE hung out in the middle stages.

RACE 3: STAX PLAZA CARVERY H'CAP - 1500M.

SHADEAL PRINCE shifted in at the start, making heavy contact with DRIFTWOOD DELIGHT.

Approaching the first turn, SOUTHERN DAUGHTER was tightened for room between KARMA COUNTY and TELUSTRE, which shifted out slightly. As a result, SOUTHERN DAUGHTER overreacted, shifted out abruptly and made heavy contact with DRIFTWOOD DELIGHT, which in turn bumped heavily with SOUTHHAMPTON ROSE.

After improving quickly up on to the heels of the tiring RIP RAWING after passing the 300m., SOUTHERN DAUGHTER shifted out abruptly to avoid that filly's heels, resulting in SOUTHHAMPTON ROSE being checked and taken wider on the track. Whilst stewards were of the view that RIP RAWING was the primary cause of the incident by shifting ground when weakening badly, they nevertheless reminded G. Lynch of his obligations to be fully clear when shifting ground.

Near the 200m., BREATH shifted out to obtain clear running, resulting in TELUSTRE being inconvenienced. R. Goltz, rider of BREATH, was advised to exercise more care in similar circumstances.
