Byrne indicated that when placed under pressure between runners in the home straight the gelding was reluctant to improve and it was not until being shifted wider passing the 200m when the horse commenced to respond to his riding. He added that he had recommended to connections to experiment with the addition of blinkers prior to its next race start.

BERMUDA BLU – Slow to begin.

BARONESS ZEENA – Slow to begin.

COURT’S STAR – Jockey B. Stewart pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding, in that near the 1400m he directed his mount inwards at that point of the race knowingly forcing another runner in after making heavy contact with that horse, causing jockey J.

Jockey Stewart was suspended from riding in races for a period covered by 10 meetings, to commence at midnight, 1 August and to expire at midnight, 15 August 2015.

SAMBUCCA SHOT – Overraced in the early stages and was inclined to hang out.

BRIALKA LODGE – A post race veterinary examination of the horse, which tailed off, revealed the gelding to lame in the off hind leg. Trainer T. Miller was advised that a veterinary clearance will be required prior to its next race start.

Race 8: Sea Vista Developments CG&E Benchmark 80 H'cap – 1200m

VOODOO BLUE MAGIC – Restrained after the start and directed back to the fence at an acute angle and had to be checked after making heavy contact with the running rail near the 1100m. Apprentice S. Payne was reprimanded for the carelessness shown.

ROMANAMA – Steadied leaving the 900m when placed in restricted room. Trainer D. Forster was questioned regarding the improved performance in winning today. She indicated that at the horse’s most recent start it had been caught wide in the early stages before being ridden forward, and this had a detrimental effect on the performance. Mrs Forster also added that at the horse’s first start back from a spell, which was at Ipswich, it performed disappointingly, however she stated that it had not performed well at this venue in the past. She also felt that the removal of blinkers for the horse’s start today allowed it to settle more comfortably, and the addition of the tongue-tie may have been beneficial to the performance.

MY QUILTER – Raced 3 wide without cover.

EXECUTED – Raced 4 wide without cover throughout.
