RACE 2: CLASS 2 H'CAP - 1000m
Kwilas Charm hung from the 800m to the 400m giving W Orbell a difficult ride. The horse finished on after straightening.
RACE 3: CLASS 3 H'CAP - 1200m
Leaving the 1000m Kalinga Magic lost ground when racing inside Slick Slot.

Rounding the home turn R Barone dropped his reins and became tangled in the horses mane for some distance. He eventually recovered his hold and went on to win the race.

Saranee scratched when no rider available.
Swapped failed to show its usual dash. R Barone stated that the horse did not travel at any stage. Trainer Tom Johnstone felt that the track must have had some bearing on the poor performance as the horse had failed to show anything at Barcaldine previously.
Whiskey Boy drifted out under pressure.
RACE 5: OPEN H'CAP - 1050m
Neat ?N' Tidy scratched when no rider available.
