THE TYLER – Inconvenienced shortly after the start by AURA GOLD which bucked. Laid in under pressure over the concluding stages.
 
CHARGRILL – Contacted on jumping. When questioned on the performance, apprentice rider Shae Nielson stated after being inconvenienced by AURA GOLD which bucked and getting back, the gelding failed to make up any ground.

RACE 4: HAMMER & CO EARTHMOVING RATINGS BAND 0 - 50 HANDICAP 1400M
 
The start was delayed to allow the bridle for LEGAL CHALLENGE to be refitted after becoming detached when behind the barriers.  
 
LEGAL CHALLENGE – Stood flat-footed at the start and lost ground. When questioned on the performance, rider Jason Babarovich stated that shortly after jumping the gelding may have had its tongue over the bit, which in his opinion unsettled LEGAL CHALLENGE for a distance in the early stages. Rider Babarovich added that after losing considerable ground, the gelding resented the kickback from the Prairie track and failed to stretch out, however once clear of the kickback, recovered ground over the concluding stages.
 
ZOUHOPE – Slow to begin. Stewards noted rider David Sparks exceeded the permitted strikes of the whip prior to the 100m (+2) under AR132(7)(a)(ii); however, given the totality of the whip use, no further action was taken.
