Race 5 – McCAIG AIRCONDITIONING COUNTRY SHOWCASE CLASS 3 HANDICAP - 1600 metres: On jumping away Holidazzle knuckled and shifted out and hampered DRACS BACK resulting in that gelding losing ground.

Near the 1100 metres Hurricane Hunter which was over-racing slightly, almost fell after clipping the heels of Holidazzle which was also over-racing slightly and being eased off the heels of Shinko Blu (D. Gauci) which eased at that stage after shifting in. D. Gauci was notified that in future he must ensure he is sufficiently clear of other runners when shifting ground in similar circumstances. DRACS BACK and Poseidon’s Secret were hampered in consequence.
They find a way of being beaten. Particularly when anchored in a leg of the quaddie.
