Race Comments

Race 1   RICOH (AMATEUR DRIVERS) MOBILE PACE
SIX TIMES A LADY - held up by a weakening runner final turn.
TANE J J - weakened final turn. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no abnormalities. Trainer B Negus advised he would be stepping up the gelding's workload.
ARDEN'S SWEETHEART - Driver K McClintock advised that the mare had been striking the wheel discs during the running.
ALEXIS ROCKET - raced wide early before being restrained to the rear.
MOODY RIVER - held up final turn and early in the run home. When questioned regarding the tactics he adopted rounding the home turn Driver A Fitzgerald stated that the gelding had raced best when able to be saved for one run so he had elected not to follow R K FINN out to a three wide position as he felt his best option was to look to save ground by improving forward one out. Mr Fitzgerald further explained R K FINN appeared to be under pressure leaving the back straight and felt this runner may not have taken him forward at that stage which also influenced his decision.
Race 2   IRT. YOUR HORSE. OUR PASSION. TROT
SHOW THE WAY - trotted roughly on the final turn and shifted out on straightening for the run home.
TIGHT N BRIGHT - broke after 150 metres and settled at the rear. A final warning was placed on the gelding's racing manners.
