Senior jockeys Terry Moseley and Chris Johnson and leading apprentice rider Samantha Wynne were joined by Wingatui jockeys Shankar Muniandy, Courtney Barnes, Toni Direen and Jacob Lowry for the four heats on a track rated slow8.
All four heats started from the 1000m mark, with times for the 800m heats taken at the 200m mark, so the contentious area between the 900m and the 700m could be fully tested.
Stipendiary steward Mark Davidson walked the track after the jumpouts with Moseley, Johnson, Muniandy and club officials. He said there were no concerns from jockeys at all about the track - in particular, the area on the bend at the 800m.
''It was pretty consistent throughout. They were getting into the track and the riders thought it was in good order with good grass cover,'' Davidson said.
''After walking it, there was no evidence of any slipping or movement from horses. We convened a meeting on the track with riders, club officials and myself and we unanimously agreed to resume racing on May 31.''
Davidson said he had recommended to New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing that the track was safe for racing based on the jockeys' opinions.
''They all rode at various stages at the jumpouts and were more than happy. There was no negative feedback at all from the four heats.''
A Don Eduardo-Centamiss 3yr-old gelding, soon to be named Sir Lindauer, won the opening heat, with a time at the 200m mark of 53.60.
His trainer, Steve Tyler, said the 3yr-old would possibly make his debut over 1200m at Wingatui next week, along with Enjoy A Lindauer over 1600m.
Popp'N'Lindauer, who finished fifth at Winton on May 10, is nominated for the rating 65 1200m at Oamaru on Friday. Lady Lindauer, who finished second to Raw Gold in the final heat, is nominated for the rating 65 2200m at Oamaru.
The winner of the third heat, De Arvil, could make her debut at Wingatui, her co-trainer, Brian Anderton, said.
The mare had developed shin soreness after contesting jumpouts last year but could resume on May 31 as well.
High Forty is on track to contest the Otago Steeplechase on the same day, although Anderton was conscious of how much weight the Great Western Steeplechase winner might have to carry after gaining three rating points for Sunday's victory.
