CHASIN' CROWS moved out over the heels of WHAT'S UP ADDIS on the first corner and forced BIGTIME SLAMMER and WINSOME DOLL wide over extra ground and they finished in the last two places with CHASIN' CROWS finishing in 6th place after also losing ground in the incident.
Race 2 BILDERBECK CONSTRUCTION - C1/2 - 520 THRILLING ACE was tightened between runners on the first corner and went back to last. He was again checked entering the back straight losing four lengths and he stayed back to finish in last place.
Race 3 BROAD ROOFING SERVICES - C2 - 305 The favourite BRASS KNUCKLES was the slowest to begin but then made up ground well to finish in 2nd place. GOOGLE MAGOO was handy to the first corner but was checked and lost several lengths on the bend and finished in 6th place.
Race 4 NEW WORLD WANGANUI - C2/3 - 305 WHATA BOWLA, BACK DRAUGHT, HEIST and ANOTHER NICK were the last four going into the first corner and they jostled together on the bend losing ground and going wide and they stayed back to finish in the last four places.

GO BEN GO then appeared to suffer an injury on the bend and dropped out to finish a long last and was examined by the Vet and stood down for 42 days with a metacarpal bone fracture.
Race 7 WWW.WANGANUICARCENTRE.COM - C4 - 305 SUPERIOR BLACK who had not started for one month was up 2.6 kilograms from her last start weight and the Trainer stated this was by design and this was accepted by the stewards.

They were eventually checked losing several lengths and they tailed the field from there to the finish.
