Race 1: BMNT 1300m
ENIGMAN (K Gladwin) – When questioned regarding the unplaced performance rider advised that his mount had not been suited to the moderate pace in the early stages and had raced keenly in the run to the first turn but when ridden along from the 600m the gelding failed to quicken and did not finish the race off as anticipated. A post race veterinary examination revealed the gelding to have returned with an elevated heart rate.
MALAISE (A Nicholls) – Bounded at the start and lost ground.

EOKALIO (A Nicholls) – Raced wide throughout.
WITH PLEASURE (A Lindsay) – Knuckled at the start.
FRILLY DESIGN (J Todd) – Rider reported that he had ridden his mount vigorously from the start to hold a forward position but when crossed by another runner leaving the 1000m the mare resented the kickback and raced ungenerously and was not competitive from thereon. A post race veterinary examination revealed no abnormalities. As the mare has raced in this manner at consecutive race starts trainer G Clarke was advised that the mare must barrier trial satisfactorily prior to racing again.
IN MODERATION (T Treichel) – Slow into stride and failed to muster early speed.
