Ewan Jake ran on at the finish for second placing. The favourite, Go Wild Chrissy, from the inside draw, started on terms with the field and took up a rails position until the first bend where she was headed by Ewan Jake - she veered wide and into the path of Spade Time - Spade Time climbed over the top of her and Go Wild Chrissy was out of contention when forced down on the track. |
| Race 4 | OASIS BAR & GRILL DASH - C2 - 318 | Lady Bold, who was back early and tailed off, was found to have been injured during the running of the race when examined post race by the veterinary surgeon.

| Race 6 | STREETS ICECREAM STAKES - C2 - 527 | Race clear. |
| Race 7 | VALLEY POOL DASH - C2 - 318 | Pat's Legacy took the field through the early stages and had little challenge to reach the line first.
