Gold Coast Race 4-6 Levi's Bid Unplaced

Slow to begin, had a good run 5th the fence in a moderate speed, made ground on the turn , however was only plodding and never really looked a threat.

Gold Coast Race 8-7 Mazuka 3rd $1.70

Jumped well, and Glen drove him up on the speed to be sitting outside the lead. He put pressure on the leader around the turn , however the leader fort strong and Mazuka wasn't up to the task.

Hawksbury Race 3-4 Supernova Unplaced

Got running 5th the fence in a moderate speed, following the winner. Got left flat footed when they sprinted at the 400m an when he got into the clear made good  ground late. Needs a truer run race to show his best. (Stewards Report) Near the 200m Supernova and Altavilla came together as Supernova endeavoured to improve into a narrow run between Altavilla and Flaxmill Road.

Hawksbury Race 5-4 Lyncean Academy 1st $2.60-$1.40

Got a fair way back in a fast speed as expected, came to the outside and kept momentum going to pull away for a strong win.

Hawksbury Race 8-12 Catacaos 3rd $1.90

Lead early and taken on to go hard in front, kept being attacked in front and still had the cheek to hit the front at the 200m. However had to stop and was a great effort to run third.

Flemington Race 4-4 Glaneuse Unplaced 

Got back further than expected, however the pace was true and approaching the turn was hard ridden. Did nothing see below.

(Stewards Report) D. Dunn (Glaneuse) reported on the scales that the gelding felt fine behind the barriers, however, couldn’t offer any excuses for the poor performance of the gelding today and was of the opinion that Glaneuse is certainly up to Metropolitan standard of racing, and felt that there must be something wrong with the gelding. A veterinary examination of Glaneuse after the race revealed no obvious abnormalities, and a post race swab sample was taken for analysis. Managing owner Mr W. Slattery advised the Stewards that Glaneuse had worked well leading up to today, and had travelled well to Melbourne this morning, and that the stable were confident of a forward showing today. Mr Slattery added that Glaneuse would undergo a full veterinary examination on returning to S.A, and that the trainer Mr O’Leary would advise the Stewards of the results of these tests in due course, however, he was of the opinion that Glaneuse would now be sent for a spell.
