Race 1 - STU VALENTINE FOR BLOODSTOCK INSURANCE PACE            1780M

BRIAN CHRISTOPHER NZ – caught wide early before working forward to gain the position outside the leader.

General

Dale Larpent was fined $200 under AHR rule 156(2)(a) for engaging the elbow and shoulder when using the whip in the concluding stages.

Race 3 - PERFECTLY PULSE THERAPY PACE            1780M

FORGIVE ME – failed to run on in the concluding stages after racing behind the leader and finished in last position beaten in excess of 27 metres. When questioned, trainer Ben Battle advised the mare had not raced for 3 weeks and the early sectional of 28 seconds in an attempt to hold the lead may have been a contributing factor to the disappointing effort.

MIGHTY GEORGE NZ – held up for clear running on the final turn when trailing the tiring Forgive Me.

CHARMAWAY – worked forward to race outside the leader. Commenced to yield ground from the 500 metres to finish in 8th position beaten in excess of 66 metres. Trainer Trent Dawson advised he will continue to make gear changes to enable the filly to race more truly.

ALLSHECANBE – out of position at the start despite the effort from its driver. Gave ground over the concluding stages to finish a distant last beaten in excess of 91 metres. Stewards advised trainer Brian McCall the filly will be required to complete a satisfactory trial before racing again.

Race 8 - MAZDA ASPLEY PACE          1780M

CRIME BOSS – hung in at the 500 metres when the driver was attempting to move the gelding out of the one out one back position to commence a forward run.

A warning was issued and connections were advised to take corrective measures.
