Gone Troppo flew over the third hurdle only to land on his nose and somersalt end over end and be out of contention. Chippewa Brave jumped well throughout and held well at the line. A post race veterinary examination cleared Gone Troppo of injury. All finished.
Race 4 THE MAD BUTCHER DASH - C2 - 318 Cardinia Kev conceded several lengths when slow at the start - recovered quickly to midfield but no further from there. Bold Playboy was rapidly to the front and although Hot Discovery on the inner disputed the pace early, held on well to the line.
Race 5 MEADOWSET GRAPHICS STAKES - C1 - 527 Bitter Sammy was the pacemaker from the early stages to just short of the finish line, where he was denied by Our Madge - that dog having trailed third into the home straight before driving strongly between the two leaders to take the race in the last strides.
