| Race Comments | |
| Race 1 | KIWI COURT MOTEL MOBILE TROT Video |
| MEANDER WITH PEGASUS - broke shortly after the start losing all chance. | |
| CAITLIN'S SURPRISE - broke shortly after the start and trailed the field. | |
| CLOVER KATE - broke racing over the crossing near the 1600 metres. Raced 3 wide from the 1100 metres after unsuccessfully contesting a position with SHAY SCOTT on the back of NOVEMBER GUY in the one out running line. It was established that CLOVER KATE had been racing loose to the outside of NOVEMBER GUY, which enabled that gelding to shift away from the marker line and improve forward with SHAY SCOTT following that runner out. | |
| WILLIAM LANCE - broke in the score up losing all chance. | |
| SHAY SCOTT - broke at the 400 metres but soon settled. | |

| JAMIE FRASER - paced roughly soon after the start. Broke at the 500 metres checking a trailing runner and losing its chance. | |
