At the entrance to the straight King Cappo made contact with Tom Coureuse when disappointed for a run between Tom Coureuse and Scintillation, and did not obtain clear running until passing the 200m.
Scintillation suffered a bleeding attack during the event. As this was the second occasion on which Scintillation had bled the gelding was banned from racing forever (AR53A).
A post-race veterinary examination revealed Oxford Princess was displaying a poor recovery rate and had aggravated an old wound to the near-side hip. A swab sample was taken. Mr P. Sutherland trainer of Oxford Princess, which raced disappointingly, stated that subject to a full veterinary examination it was his intention to recommend that Oxford Princess be spelled. The inquiry was adjourned pending that advice.
RACE 5: Fairfield RSL Club Grey Stars Handicap 1300m:
Close to the finish line A Deena had to steady from the heels of Cariboo.
An inquiry into the reason for Sacra Clause being checked and A Deena being crowded near the 1100m was adjourned to later in the day.
C. Brown (Cariboo) was found guilty of a charge of careless riding under AR137(a) in that he permitted his mount to shift in when insufficiently clear after passing the 1200m resulting in A Deena being crowded in onto Sacra Clause, which lost its rightful running.
C. Brown's licence to ride in races was suspended for a period to commence on 25/8/02 and to expire on 6/9/02 on which day he may ride.

Halls Of Assembly, Danyon and Midnight Avenue were held up for runs in the early part of the straight.
Passing the 200m Gamesman was struck across the nose by the whip of C. Munce (Master Pom).
A post-race veterinary examination of Gamesman did not reveal any abnormality.
When questioned regarding the performance of Gamesman, L. Beasley stated that he had to make a good deal of use of his horse, which was having its first start for four weeks, to get across and obtain a forward position and as a result Gamesman did not run out the 1900m journey.
When questioned regarding the disappointing performance of Master Pom, C. Munce stated that today the gelding was unsuited when it was under early pressure to lead and under its big weight of 60kgs the effort in his opinion took its toll.

Approaching the first turn Brantwood Manor, when being checked off the heels of Sammuka, shifted out taking Pourquoi and Georgie Boy wider.
At the entrance to the straight The Man was inclined to lay in behind the heels of Pourquoi.
