1st – Mondiah 2nd – Night Wanderer 3rd –Sars Mario 4th – Yveline

Track temperature: 18 degrees Celsius

WHISPRIAN (P. Wolfgram) required an adjustment to be made to its saddle at the barriers, resulting in a slight delay to the start of this event.

NIGHT WANDERER (G. Geran), VICTORY SHIELD (W. Abbey) and ITALA PRINCE (N. Evans) were slow to begin.

Rounding the home turn, PROFITABUL (S. Drake) hung in badly.

For some distance after straghtening, ITALA PRINCE had difficulty obtaining a run between WHISPRIAN and YVELINE (A. Best).






Race 2: Trevor Smith McGrath Class 3 H'cap – 1100m
1st – The Jazzy Prince 2nd – Camphor 3rd – Whydidyouleaveme 4th – Zoso

Track temperature: 18 degrees Celsius

Prior to the declaration of correct weight, stewards inquired into an incident at the start where it was reported that J. Brown was dislodged from LONARO. On the evidence put forward, it was established that as the gates were released, LONARO, which had been fractious in the barriers, reared high, resulting in J. Brown being dislodged. As stewards were of the view that the horse was standing at the time the gates were released, LONARO was declared a starter and correct weight was semaphored on the Judge's placings.

Near the 600m THE JAZZY PRINCE (P. Wolfgram) shifted in and bumped BOARDIES (S. Drake).

Near the 600m, CONVICTOR (K. Yoshida) shifted out and bumped ARGENTEUM (J. Brown).

P. Wolfgram, rider of LADY LEO, explained that the mare raced comfortably behind the leader in the early stages, however from the 800m he became concerned that it was not travelling well, and from the 500m when the tempo quickened, LADY LEO failed to respond to his riding and in the home straight proved most disappointing. The explanation was noted.
