At the start, PRINCE PIERCE (D. Whitmore) and LET’S BE MARY (A. Coome) made contact.

SET ME FREE (M. Cant) jumped away awkwardly.

Shortly after the start, TOMARY FLAME (L. Dillon) raced ungenerously for a short distance, and as a result of shifting around, lost some ground. HOGTIE (M. Cullen), which was racing to the inside, had to be steadied and shifted to the outside and commenced to race greenly throughout.

At approximately the 900 metres, PRINCE PIERCE, which was inclined to over race in the middle stages, shifted out and was steadied from the heels of MONASHEE DEVIL (S. Evans)

At approximately the 800 metres, PRINCE PIERCE and ONLY FRIENDS (R. Hall) shifted wider on the track and raced wide for the remainder of the race.

DARRA FLYER (App. H O’Hara) raced wide throughout.

SET ME FREE (M. Cant) was held up for clear running from approximately the 400 metres until straightening, at which point the mare had to be restrained from the heels of TOMARY FLAME.

At approximately the 100 metres, ONLY FRIENDS was placed in restricted room and steadied when racing between HOGTIE and MONASHEE DEVIL.

CODA (S. Sheargold) raced wide throughout.

At the winning post BEACH KINGS (App A Taylor) shifted out abruptly, when it appeared to shy away from MONASHEE STAR.

When questioned as to the performance of IT’S ELEMENTARY, Jockey D. Whitmore stated that while the gelding had travelled well early, from approximately the 900 metres, IT’S ELEMENTARY had changed stride throughout and was of the opinion the gelding was not suited racing on the tight turning track, particularly in the clockwise direction. Jockey Whitmore further stated he had placed the gelding under pressure from approximately the 500 metres, however his mount did not respond to his riding and failed to run on.

Stewards will inquire into an incident at approximately the 100 metres in which IT’S ELEMENTARY was hampered.

MONA STAR (App K Yoneyama) raced wide for the majority of the event.

Correct weight was delayed to allow Apprentice A. Taylor (TOMKINS) to view the photo finish print for second. As App. Taylor was satisfied as to the judge’s placings, Stewards declared correct weight.

When questioned as the performance of TOKYO TANGO, Trainer A Johnson stated the gelding had competed well in its previous start and, while he was of the opinion the gelding would take benefit from the run today, he was confident the gelding would be competitive and appreciate the distance of today’s event.

Race 5: On Kariboe Class 3 Plate - 1400 metres
