Race 2: GRAND CENTRAL CLASS 4 H'CAP – 1210M

The start of this race was delayed when CANTBUYBETTER dislodged its rider, resulting in the bridle having to be refitted.

CANTBUYBETTER – A post-race veterinary examination revealed the gelding to have cardiac arrhythmia. Trainer B. Currie was advised that prior to the horse racing again it must perform satisfactorily in a barrier trial and that he must produce a veterinary clearance, including the results of an ECG.

ROUBAIX – Bumped with another runner at the start. When questioned regarding the horse’s disappointing performance, apprentice B. Derbyshire reported that the gelding did not travel at any stage and in her opinion did not handle today’s track conditions.

BRAVE DAZZLER – When questioned regarding the horse’s improved performance, trainer K. Kemp reported that he was expecting a forward showing at the gelding’s previous start at Doomben, however the tempo of the race on that occasion did not suit and the performance was disappointing. He added that the gelding had worked well leading into tonight’s event and he was again confident of a forward showing.

DALINE – Bumped with another runner at the start. Improved on to heels and had to be steadied leaving the 900m.

TRY ‘N’ CATCH ME – Began awkwardly.

EXCITING DOLL – Inclined to lay out rounding the home turn.

Race 3: NEIL MANSELL TRANSPORT CLASS 1 H'CAP – 1210M

DUBLING – Raced wide throughout.

CASSE SAXET – Permitted to race without pacifiers due to the inclement weather. Raced three wide without cover throughout. Apprentice T. Brooker reported that her mount hung in from the 800m and as a result she was unable to ride the mare out with her usual vigour. Trainer B. Strong will be advised that a warning will be placed on the mare.

CAZNOT – Slow to begin. Inclined to lay in under pressure over the concluding stages.

RED WARNING – Inclined to lay in under pressure in the home straight. Held up for clear running from the 100m.

Race 4: WARRIORS CLASS 2 H'CAP – 1050M

BAY DUKE – Shifted in on jumping and made contact with START THE SHOW shortly after the start. Had to be steadied from heels when overracing approaching the 600m. Apprentice T. Brooker reported on scale that in her opinion her mount, which was having its first start after a spell, would derive a fitness benefit from the event.

STREET FEVER – Bumped with another runner at the start and lost ground. Raced wide throughout.

VIVA LA PROXY – Bumped with another runner at the start. Held up from the 100m. When questioned regarding the horse’s disappointing performance, G. Geran stated that in his opinion the gelding would be better suited to races run over a further distance than tonight’s event, however he believed the gelding finished the race off well and would have finished in a better position had he been able to obtain clear running over the concluding stages.

DEEP CROSSING – Raced keenly in the middle stages. Improved on to heels near the 400m and had to be severely checked.

FAVORITE SHADOW – Bumped with another runner at the start.

START THE SHOW – Bumped with another runner at the start. Bumped shortly after the start.

IBELIEVEICANFLY – Momentarily steadied when tightened for room leaving the 400m.

Race 5: NU-TURF 0-65 H'CAP – 1880M

The start was delayed when SUITS US, which was fractious in the barriers, was removed, underwent a veterinary examination and was passed fit to start.

PULSAR – Bumped at the start, then tightened for room shortly after the start. When questioned regarding the horse’s disappointing performance, S. Bogenhuber stated that in her opinion the weight of 59kg in tonight’s event was detrimental to the gelding’s performance and in addition she also felt the horse did not handle tonight’s soft track. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no abnormalities.

CEBILE – Began awkwardly, shifted in and bumped another runner. Overraced in the early stages. Raced wide throughout.

Race 6: WIMMERS PREMIUM SOFT DRINKS BM75 H'CAP – 1650M

KING LUDWIG – Stewards questioned jockey S. Bogenhuber regarding her tactics, in particular in the early stages of the race where she allowed the gelding to stride forward to a position 5 lengths ahead of the rest of the field. Jockey Bogenhuber reported that her instructions were to allow the horse to stride forward in the early stages and obtain a lead over the rest of the field before allowing the horse to settle comfortably in the middle stages. Trainer P. Facoory confirmed the instructions. As this was in accordance with the horse’s regular racing pattern, Stewards noted the explanation and took the matter no further.

LEGSMAN – When questioned regarding the horse’s improved performance, trainer L. Paton indicated that in her opinion the gelding was suffering from a virus at its previous start at Gympie and being first up after a spell she was confident of a forward showing.

ELEGIES – Bumped with another runner at the start.

NANDINE ROAD – Bumped with another runner at the start. Trainer K. Kemp indicated that the horse wold now be sent for a spell.


Race 7: AUDI CENTRE TOOWOOMBA QTIS 3YO BM65 H'CAP – 1210M
