Race 2	Grant Irvine Pharmacy C1 - C1 - 375	APOLLO was down in weight by 1.9 kilograms from his previous start on 02.03.15 and this was an intentional decrease. APOLLO shifted in from the start and caused crowding to BUNDORAN LAD, HOMEBUSH DODGER and DARK FAERYTALES which all lost ground with HOMEBUSH DODGER and DARK FAERYTALES the most affected. One of the favourites CHLOE'S PRODIGY was slow to begin and settled back and he was then checked losing ground going into the bend when HOMEBUSH MISHA shifted ground outwards onto his line of running.
Race 3	Greyhounds As Pets C2 - C2 - 375	WAIMAK DAVE began a little awkwardly and was then further hampered when QUEEN COBRA jumped out onto his line. WAIMAK DAVE was then held up when awkwardly positioned behind runners ahead on the bend and he was subsequently not able to make up ground from there and finished in last place.
Race 4	Shakey Jakey At Rocky Ridge C0/1D - C1d - 660	BEDLAM BRIDGE was awkwardly positioned in restricted room going to the first corner and was shuffled back to the rear and raced wide rounding the first bend. He then made up ground well to finish in 2nd place.

SPRING MAJOR shifted in on the bend and bumped HERE WITHOUT YOU which was unbalanced and she lost two lengths.
Race 6	Paul Claridge Electrical C3 - C3 - 375	SERENA ROSE shifted in abruptly from the start from box 8 and caused checks to LAGOON MAC, WHEELIE CHILLIE, GRAND ALLEGRO, OPAWA LEAN MEAT and PEACOCK PRINCESS. The interferance went on for some distance and eventually resulted in OPAWA LEAN MEAT making contact with the rail and he went back to last and finished in that position.
