Race 5: LET’S PARTY – L Tilley – 56.5kgs (0.5kg)
 
Race 1: THE MALTHOUSE Class 4 Handicap 800 metres

SPIRIT ONE – I Rabjones, rider of SPIRT ONE, was fined $300 under AR132(7)(a)(ii) for use of the whip on six occasions prior to the 100m, one more than permitted.
 
LILLI LIGHTS OUT – Bumped with RED DRESS on jumping. Raced four wide for majority of the event.
 
BIT OF A BEAUTY – Blundered on jumping and lost ground. Laid out under pressure in the home straight. When questioned regarding the apparent improved performance, trainer J Capewell advised he had been disappointed with the horse’s previous two starts and had freshened BIT OF A BEAUTY for today’s event, and combined with the drop back in distance, was confident of a forward showing today.
 
EASY COME – Raced three wide throughout the event. Rider S Stephan reported EASY COME was inclined to hang in for the majority of the event.
 
RED DRESS – Bumped with LILI LIGHTS OUT on jumping. Raced five wide throughout the event.

ZABCAN – Bumped on jumping away. Raced four wide in the early stages before being restrained to a three wide position with cover near the 800m. Rider S Lacy reported ZABCAN was not suited by the fast early tempo and in her opinion would be better suited in races over a longer distance than that of today at this stage of its preparation.
 
Following the running of this event the track was upgraded to a Good 4.
 
Race 3: JUDD BROS CONTRACTING QTIS Three-Year-Old BENCHMARK 58 Handicap 1100 metres

WOLFF BOSS – Began awkwardly. Forced wider when awkwardly placed at heels over the concluding stages.
 
GRANDIOSO – Slow to begin. Near the 100m steadied when awkwardly placed at heels and then was shifted wider when MAHA MUSTANG laid out under pressure.

Race 6: PSP VIDEO RATINGS BAND 0 - 58 Handicap 1200 metres
 
Declaration of correct weight was initially delayed allowing Stewards to view the start of race to determine if URALBA was afforded a fair start. After viewing the patrol footage, it was established URALBA reared of its own accord as the start was effected dislodging I Rabjones and as such URABA was declared a starter. Correct weight was further delayed when the connections of fourth placegetter CAMARILLO viewed the patrol footage in the home straight. After doing so they elected to take the matter no further and correct weight was declared on the semaphored placings.
 
CAMARILLO – Near the 150m had to steadied to avoid the heels of LUVACTION which shifted out under pressure. Approaching the finish line was steadied when runners either side shifted ground. Laid in under pressure in the home straight.  
 
AMERICAN SAINT – On arrival at the barriers the saddle on the horse was readjusted. Raced three wide with cover for the majority of the event. Laid in under pressure in the home straight.

BEACH CLUB – Shifted out under pressure in the home straight.
 
URALBA – Reared as the start was effected resulting in apprentice I Rabjones being dislodged. I Rabjones suffered injuries to the lower back in this incident and was transported to Warwick hospital for further treatment. Trainer M Kropp was advised URALBA must trial satisfactorily prior to its next race start. I Rabjones was advised she must obtain a medical clearance prior to resuming race riding.
 
TOP MELODY – As had not started in excess of 12 months, underwent a pre-race veterinary examination and was cleared to start.
