229C Golf At Gowran Park (F) Claiming Race

The Stewards informed W. McCreery, trainer that Amelia Jane, would have to be recertified before being declared to run from stalls again.

At the request of the Handicapper, the Stewards obtained a report from Joseph Patrick O'Brien, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of Capel At Dawn, placed first, as compared with its most recent run. Brendan Powell, Authorised Representative for the trainer, reported that Capel At Dawn ran very free on its previous run and failed to get home. He felt his charge settled much better today in what was a lesser race and was of the opinion that a combination of both had helped to bring bout the apparent improvement in form. Having considered the report, the Stewards noted the explanation offered.
