Race 1	Otago First4 Sprint - C1 - 310	BLACK TRIGGER and the favourite ALS BEST MATE were the last to jump. ALS BEST MATE ran outwards in the back straight and came into contact with BLACK JAY for a stride.

On the home turn CEE CEE ARE checked outwards off MR. CAMEROON and lost ground.
Race 2	www.greyhoundsaspets.org.nz - C0 - 310	SECRET ICE and HAMPDEN PRIDE were slow to jump. SENSITIVE LAND ran outwards soon after the jump checking CAWBOURNE MILLY, HAMPDEN SPIRIT and BRASCH who lost ground. HOMEBUSH SUE ran outwards just prior to the bend inconveniencing SECRET ICE and BRASCH for a stride. HAMPDEN PRIDE and BELFAST CHUKKA came together into the bend and soon after the favourite BRASCH and CAWBOURNE MILLY collided and lost ground. BRASCH was subject to a post race veterinary check as was BELFAST CHUKKA who appeared in some discomfort immediately after the race. BRASCH was found to have a sore wrist with a seven day stand down recommended. BELFAST CHUKKA recovered soon after the race and no stand down was imposed.
Race 3	President's Stakes - C0 - 545	HIT THE LIP was very slow to jump. SECRET VENUS was tightened soon after the jump and settled towards the rear. APPRAISED ran wide into the first bend when in front losing ground. He recovered to be third at the end of the back straight but stopped badly to finish last. A post race veterinary check of APPRAISED revealed that the dog had tied up badly but no stand down was recommended. Co-trainer Andy McCook informed Stewards that this was the first time the dog had raced over a middle distance and would be confined to sprints in the future. His comments were noted.
Race 4	Brocklebanks Dry Cleaners Sprint - C1 - 310	BLACK OZARK and TEPIRITA ACE were slow to jump. BARKING MAD ran outwards and contacted HOMEBUSH KALAMA soon after the start. HOMEBUSH KALAMA was then held up for clear room until the home turn when he ran on well for third.

Race 7	Green Island Barber Shop Stakes - C2 - 545	BAKE BEAN BETTY ran inwards at the jump and contacted MIGHTY PROPHET for a stride. The favourite CASLEY was caught wide throughout and failed to make any impression finishing seventh. Trainer Malcolm Grant when questioned in regards to the improved performance of BRASSED OFF informed Stewards that the dog has a preference for the Forbury track and was able to jump well today which put it into the race.
Race 8	Roofing Solutions Ltd Sprint - C4 - 310	BLACK MERCEDES came together with CREPE MYRTLE and LIFE WITH DEXTER in the back straight with all dogs losing ground.

Race 10	Keyosk Service Bar Stakes - C4/5 - 545	KNOW TRUTH was last to jump. The favourite AWESOME BENDER settled well back but improved quickly to be handy on the home turn. He then ducked outwards for a stride in order to receive racing room and in doing so checked kennelmate FIFTH EDITION. Stewards confirmed after watching the replays from different angles that no muzzle contact had occured when AWESOME BENDER ducked outwards.
Race 11	Speedprint Shop Sprint - C3 - 310	GOSS SAGE ran inwards and tightened ACHEW ACHEW into the bend with that runner checking outwards and into the path of SPEEDY LEESHELLE who fell.

He stated that after its luckless effort at Addington on 22 July the dog was found to have a hip injury and that he was given a spell to recover.
