The first race of the night it had a field of six ponies. PJ driven by Branden Fuller was the early leader from his stable mate Razzle Dazzle with Bryce Gilbert aboard, followed by Swamp Fire with Nicholas Brown and the two backmarkers My Mysterious with Bailey Hoare and last week’s winner Jessiefoss and Alyssa Cappelluti in the sulky.

Coming into the straight it was a two pony race with My Mysterious on the inside and Jessiefoss on the outside, Swamp Fire was still trying to catch these two leaders, PJ and Razzle Dazzle were trailing him. With about 60 metres to go Jessiefoss ran down the track and caused interference to My Mysterious who lost all winning chances. Crossing the line Jessiefoss was the winner from My Mysterious 2^nd and Swamp Fire came 3^rd.

The stewards didn’t give the all clear until after a discussion regarding the incident in the home straight. The placings were reversed with the winner now being My Mysterious from Jessiefoss in 2^nd and Swamp Fire grabbing 3^rd.

With Aadelaidee Lady and So What both being late scratching this took the field down to six ponies. All ponies began nicely with Born To Be Wild out in front from Little Kizz, Cowboy Road, Chocolate Thunder, Chilli Knights and Summer Surprise.

Coming around the bend Born To Be Wild was still the leader but Cowboy Road motored around the outside to take the lead, Little Kizz was still hold ing down third position on the inside but Chilli Knights and Summer Surprise both were making their runs. Cowboy Road had a handy lead to win by 10 metres, making this back to back wins, from Chilli Knights who flashed down the outside to get 2^nd and Summer Surprise came 3^rd.

Wandarra Tess was a late scratching, the first time in eleven years she hasn’t raced at Globe Derby Park on a Saturday night. When the flag went down Midnight Star led from Ben Ten, Spike It Up who was having his first start for Alyssa Cappelluti, Crackerjack and Jimmy Cricket.

Coming into the straight Midnight Star was still trotting nicely out in front from Ben Ten who was sticking to the pegs, Spike It Up wasn’t far behind Ben Ten and Crackerjack and Jimmy Cricket were making up ground.

Just before the winning post it looked like Midnight Star was home for all money but Ben Ten had one last bound and got up, Midnight Star finished 2^nd and Jimmy Cricket making up heaps of ground got 3^rd.

Only five ponies faced the starter for the last race of the night. When the flag went down Lapanacaton stepped away in perfect fashion from Aussie, Way To Go, Wynkie Sweet Fairytales and Mr Mischief.

Coming into the straight Wynkie Sweet Fairytales was out in front trotting nicely from Aussie and Way To Go racing side by side, Lapanacaton and Mr Mischief weren’t too far away.

Wynkie Sweet Fairytales held onto win by 10 metres from Aussie in 2^nd and Way To Go finishing 3^rd. This was Wynkie Sweet Fairytales first win this season.
