Miss Kara Anderson, rider of third place getter Mio Moxie, was reminded of her obligation to ride all her mounts out to the line.

Race 2 – amberlea aged care facility trophy race (1) Handicap - 1200 metres: Following a shower of rain after Race 1, stewards and riders inspected the track and assessed it safe for racing.

Shortly after the start, the saddle on Frilling slipped forward, necessitating Mr. S. Wicks to ease his mount out of the race.

On returning to scale Mr. A. Boyd, rider of King Of Grace, informed the stewards that his mount had slipped when negotiating the crossing at the 800 metres. Stewards inspected the crossing and requested that sand be put across this area. Implementing this request delayed the start of the race.

Race 3 – royal hotel ficifolia open trophy cup - 1200 metres: At the start Cape Cod Kid jumped out and bumped Prince Rappa.

Race 4 – the drouin & district community bank maiden handicap - 1600 metres: Ferruzzano jumped away awkwardly. Near the 800 metres, Final Siren was tightened for room and brushed the running rail when Count Company shifted in to avoid the heels of Flaming Arch, which had a tendency to hang in.

In the straight Flaming Arch and Count Company both shifted in.
