Trainers with multiple horses engaged in any given race were questioned as to the intended driving tactics to be adopted.
RACE 1 – HYGAIN 3YO & OLDER MAIDEN PACE (1609 MS)
Big Rockin Dan hung in after the start and paced roughly contacting Royal Edard which broke as a consequence. Big Rockin Dan will now be placed outside the draw in future mobile start events.
Keayang Bieber began badly and will now be placed outside the draw in future mobile start events.
Greg Sugars, driver of Modern Ginger, was questioned regarding the tactics adopted on the gelding in particular his decision to not improve three wide ahead of Giglio passing the 600m which resulted in Modern Ginger being held up thereafter. Mr Sugars explained that Modern Ginger failed to run on over the concluding stages after being positioned without cover over the final 900m and for this reason he elected to drive the gelding more conservatively.
John Caldow, driver of the leader Captain Of Speed, was fined $100 under Rule 162(1)(y) for failing to adhere to the minimum sectional time requirements for the second quarter of the last mile which was recorded in 33.6 seconds, 1.6 seconds outside the allowable time.
RACE 2 – LATHER UP STANDING @ WOODLANDS STUD PACE (2080 MS)
Tipofthetongue was declared a late scratching at 5:20pm due to the mare failing to arrive oncourse by the required time.

Gotta Go Gladys hung out from the 500m onwards and proved difficult to drive and a warning was issued.
RACE 3 – MARK GURRY & ASSOCIATES PACE (2080 MS)
Classy Countess tired over the concluding stages to be beaten 55m for which a warning was issued.

RACE 5 - CRANBOURNE FENCING PACE (2080 MS)
Star Hunter underwent pre and post-race veterinary examinations in accordance with HRV Policy due to the horse not having started in the preceding 12 months. Neither examination revealed any significant findings.
Passing the 500m Groom, which was leading, commenced to pace roughly before breaking gait a short distance later resulting in Runsafarirun, Lotakevi, Mister Nien, Rockybomba, Lombo Eye Watch and Little Safari being checked to varying degrees. Groom will now be stood down from racing until trialling to the satisfaction of Stewards.
Ryan Sanderson, driver of Mister Nien, was cautioned for tightening in that approaching the 1900m he permitted the gelding to shift in resulting in Lotakevi being tightened momentarily.
