The opening event resulted in a win for the Junee Reefs-trained four-year-old Abovenbeyond who led throughout to defeat Sunlit Plains who had the sit behind the leader, getting out in the straight with the locally trained Minute Maker again doing his best work at the finish to take third money.

The Jim Harris-driven pacer was sent out a $2.20 favourite and never really looked like getting beaten, the Life Sign mare now posting seven wins from only 23 starts.

The second of the day saw Dizzy Diva finish strongly from fourth at the bell to score by neck from the highly fancied Goodoldcollingwood with Alladan for trainer Kevin Brooks and Mirrool driver Stephen Maquire ten metres away in third place.

The $22.70 win dividend on the TAB made the win more enjoyable for trainer Cheryl Harpley, the winner now recording her third win from 11 starts.

The first of the three feature races, the L.W. & E.M. Hunter Memorial, was taken out by the Wyalong-trained Girlsniteout who raced midfield for most of the journey with the Goulburn-trained The Golden Lord setting the pace up front.

As the 400m marker appeared Girlsniteout was able to go to the lead, coming away in the straight to defeat Perfect Jenna who ran on well with Spooky Leigh looking a threat in the back straight finishing third.

The Grenfell mare Burning Stature was sent out a short-priced favourite in race four but after leading for most of the journey was run down over the concluding stages by the evergreen 13-year-old gelding Strings Attached who recorded his second win in 10 days for Dubbo mentor Warwick Harper.

Proving that you can improve with age the $4000 claimer recorded his 37th win after being sixth at the bell and circling the field to score by four metres from Burning Stature who will surely be improved by her three recent runs, the locally trained Starbyebye ran an improved race to finish third.
