MILLY MUNCHER – Hung out near the 800m.
 
CONSPICUOUS – After leading the event, tired over the final 300m, finishing in last position.  Stewards questioned  jockey J. Orman regarding the poor performance of the horse.  Jockey Orman stated that he was instructed to assume the lead if possible and attempt to get the gelding to settle, however it overraced badly before tiring from the 500m.  A post race veterinary examination determined that CONSPICUOUS was significantly dehydrated, which may have had an effect on its performance.  Stewards advised trainer Mr B. Lockwood that today’s performance was unsatisfactory and directed the gelding to requalify in an official  barrier trial prior to its next race start.   
 
 
Race 2: Somerset Regional Council F&M Maiden H’cap – 1060m
 
STASH THE SILVER – Fractious when loading.  Hung out noticeably approaching the final turn and had to be steadied from heels.  Stewards questioned trainer B. Hudson regarding the horse’s manners after QRIC veterinarian Dr A. Murdoch was unable to obtain a pre-race blood sample.  Mr Hudson stated that STASH THE SILVER  does become quite agitated with this procedure and claimed that as it was having its second start today it had not previously been subjected to a pre-race swab.  Mr Hudson gave an undertaking to attempt improve the manners of the mare, however stewards advised Mr Hudson that they would give consideration if  any further action was warranted.
 
NANCY BIRD – Tightened between runners shortly after jumping away.
 
SHE’S FOR RANSOM – Raced 3 wide without cover throughout before tiring over the concluding stages.

CRYING CHEETAH – Tightened for room and steadied on the home turn. Jockey Z.

Race 6: Kilcoy Exchange Hotel Benchmark 58 H’cap – 1060m
 
GENERAL KINGSMAN – Slow to begin.
 
OVERGROWN – Slow to begin.  Hung in under pressure in the run to the finish.
 
MARANETTA – Inconvenienced near the 800m.
 
MAGIC STREET – Stewards inquired into an incident near the 800m where the gelding was severely checked and lost ground. It was established that LISA FASHIONISTA shifted ground marginally, bumping ALMAZAN, which  tightened the racing room of MAGIC STREET, and contributed to the interference suffered.  Stewards also noted that LAST ROUND, which was improving wider on the track, hung in despite the efforts of its rider, and also contributed to the interference.  Stewards noted the incident.
 
MARANETTA – Approaching  the home turn was tightened, severely checked and lost its position. At a subsequent inquiry, J. Hodge, rider of OVERGROWN,  was charged and pleaded guilty to a careless riding charge under AR137(a), in that approaching the home turn her permitted his mount to shift ground outwards, placing  MARANETTA  in restricted ground, causing it to be severely checked.  Mr Hodge’s licence to ride in races was suspended for a period of 12 days, to commence midnight, 29 December, and to expire at midnight, 10 January, 2018.
 
LAST ROUND – Raced 3 wide without cover throughout.
