THE PAUA DIVER - shifted out passing the 250m when leading and then continued to shift out under pressure early in the run home.

Race 8   BLACK DOG FURNITURE HCP TROT
AORAKI - held up rounding the final turn and initial stages of the run home before gaining clear running approaching the 80m. Junior Driver F Schumacher, assisted by T Mitchell, was questioned in relation to his decision to shift out off the back of TAKENOPRISONERS (leader) passing the 200m rather than look to utilise the passing lane which resulted in the mare being held up for some distance. Mr Schumacher stated that he had been aware that TAKENOPRISONERS had commenced to battle rounding the turn and was mindful of other runners improving wide so elected to shift out to follow GERSHWIN, which had headed TAKENOPRISONERS, rather wait on the passing lane and risk losing momentum. Mr Schumacher conceded that with hindsight it would have been the better option to wait on the passing lane given that he didn't have a clear run to the outside at the time he elected to shift. After considering the matter Stewards reprimanded Mr Schumacher and advised him that he would be expected to show better judgement given similar circumstances in the future.
CHARLEMAGNE - broke at the start losing ground.
HARRY H - broke approaching the first bend losing its chance.
JANSSON - held up rounding the final turn.
