LEICA FIRECRACKER – Laid out throughout. Near the 50m was steadied when awkwardly placed at the heels of OAKFIELD COMANCHE which shifted in. Jockey H Phillips was reprimanded under AR131(a) for allowing her mount to shift in when not fully clear to do so.

CARLTON STAR – Raced wide in the early and middle stages.
 
SOUTH SANTO – Was severely checked shortly after the start when tightened between runners and lost significant ground.
 
BLOOMIN’ KIND – Was bumped heavily shortly after the start and lost ground. A post race veterinary examination the mare did not identify any abnormal findings. Trainer S Thomas undertook to report to stewards anything that may become apparent which may have had an effect on the mare’s performance in the days subsequent to the event.
 
JUST FOR GLORY (NZ) – Jumped awkwardly and shifted in. Bumped heavily on the hind quarters shortly after the start by BLOOMIN’ KIND. Raced wide in the early stages

MISS PIXIE – Near the 600m was restrained from heels of JUST FOR GLORY (NZ).
 
 
Race 4: NANANGO RSL/PEDERSON MEMORIAL BURNETT TO THE VALLEY BENCHMARK 60 H’Cap 1200m
 
Prior to the declaration of Correct Weight Stewards reviewed the start of the race to determine if the start of the event had been effected correctly and further as to whether WILD ELEMENT (R Faehr) had gained an unfair advantage on jumping away.
 
After taking evidence from the Starter Mr K Dennien and jockeys H Richardson (RUN PAM RUN), R Faehr (WILD ELEMENT), K Gates (DUKATTI), H Phillips (TURBO TEDDY), App T Townsend (CYCLONE KAYCEE), App S Stephan (QUEENOFMAINSTREET).  As well as reviewing the race footage, Stewards found that just prior to the start being affected, WILD ELEMENT (R Faehr) lunged forward forcing its barrier open slightly ahead of the remainder of the field. As a result of this Jockey R Faehr restrained WILD ELEMENT after becoming unbalanced and as a result the gelding lost ground at the start despite its barrier opening slightly ahead of the remainder of the field.
 
As Stewards were satisfied that the start had been effected by the Starter Mr K Dennien and further that WILD ELEMENT (R Faehr) had not gained an unfair advantage at the start they ruled that the provisions of AR204(2) not apply on this occasion and Correct Weight was declared on the judges semaphored numbers.

WILD ELEMENTS – Lunged forward and made contact with the barriers and as a result became unbalanced and was momentarily steadied.
