Judicial report: RUAMAHUNGA HERO was stood down for 28 days under Rule 55.1 b for failing to pursue the lure in Race 1 and is required to complete a satisfactory trial before next racing. VERY CHOOSY, a runner in Race 8 was up in weight by 1.5 kilograms from his last start and this surprised the Trainer but he thought that a change in diet may have contributed to the increase.
