Selections based on a soft track
Race 1 - 12:10PM NEW ZEALAND BLOODSTOCK COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN (1250M) |
---|
3. Another Peach has only had four starts, but she has been placed in three of them. She resumes from a spell here on the back of two trials and won the latest of them at Scone. She should benefit here with the apprentice allowance and looks ideally suited to break through. 6. Mad Harry has had plenty of chances but has been placed in 11 of his 26 starts. He ran well at Scone last time out and can show up without surprising. 1. Impending Fortune debuted with a midfield effort at Port Macquarie and can show up in this with a repeat of that. 2. Tigermoth has finished sixth in each of his three starts and a placing wouldn’t surprise.
How to play it: Another Peach WIN.
Race 2 - 12:45PM SHARP OFFICE CLASS 2 HANDICAP (1250 METRES) |

2. Aged Care was backed as if unbeatable at Port Macquarie when last produced and he knuckled down well late to get up and score a solid win. That was his second win from seven starts and he can go on with the job in this. 1. City Gold Banner was a winner on debut at Warwick Farm. He was down the track in two runs following that but resumes here after two solid trials. 3. Divine Bene won well at Gosford two starts ago and was placed at Wyong last time out in a solid display. 4. Tonkatsu Goddess ran well when a last start second and can be thereabouts again.
How to play it: Aged Care WIN.
Race 3 - 1:20PM THE ADVISER COLLECTIVE MAIDEN PLATE (1350 METRES) |
---|
7. Outta Line is a Pierro filly on debut. She has had two trials in preparation for this and was placed in the latest of them at Randwick. She is poised to run well here. 8. Paris Tycoon had a few jumpouts in Victoria last year and she’s had two trials leading into this debut effort. She bears close watching. 10. Sir Tua was just behind the placings at Muswellbrook last time out when having his chance. 5. Mama Joy resumes here after two trials and looks capable of improving on her two starts to date.
How to play it: Outta Line WIN.
Race 4 - 1:55PM DAILEY FAMILY FUNERALS MAIDEN PLATE (1150 METRES) |
---|
4. From The Peak was a heavily backed favourite when on debut at Newcastle back in March and she ran well when finishing second. She resumes here and won a recent Randwick trial in preparation. 3. Louisburgh has been placed in all three runs since resuming from a spell and should get every chance from the inside gate. 9. Cosmic Eagle ran well at her first start when finishing third at Newcastle last month and she can show up again. 7. Graphic Sight ran third at his only start at Canberra late last year and is first-up here.
How to play it: From The Peak WIN.
Race 5 - 2:35PM HORSEPOWER FEEDS & SUPPLIMENTS C1 & MAIDEN PLATE (2100M) |
---|
8. Fairhead hit the line well to score a solid win at Goulburn two starts ago and followed that up with another good effort when fourth at Hawkesbury. The step up in distance should suit. 2. Lennox was a solid third at Gosford two starts back and was midfield at Canterbury after leading last time out when not beaten far. 1. De Louviere ran second at Newcastle before a last start disappointing effort at Wyong. He can improve here. 3. Due Calzini is a last start second placegetter that has a handy record.
How to play it: Fairhead EACH WAY.
Race 6 - 3:10PM A-PLUS CONTRACTING & POLY WELDING CG&E BM58 (1150 METRES) |
---|
4. Dubai Gold was a winner at Tamworth at his second start and was then spelled. He won two trials before resuming with a third at Scone and is set to bounce back to winning form here. 2. The Piccolino has been in form winning his latest two starts and another bold showing is on the cards despite the wide draw. 3. Cheap Gas ran well when a late closing third at Coonamble last time out and can get into the minor money again. 8. Manage The Cycle has been racing well and could figure.
How to play it: Dubai Gold WIN.
Race 7 - 3:45PM VALE BEN SMITH F&M BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP (1150 METRES) |
---|
7. Dame Annie hasn’t raced since the end of April when finishing sixth at Canberra. She’s been midfield in a Warwick Farm trial since then to be kept up to the mark and she can figure in this company. 8. Itszarbaby was close-up when second at Nowra at her latest start and has the advantage of gate one. 5. Sagaponack won a couple on end before failing at Tamworth. She can get back to her best here. 2. Magical Elegance disappointed when resuming at Goulburn but is worth another chance.
How to play it: Dame Annie WIN.
Race 8 - 4:20PM THE PRINCE OF MEREWETHER COUNTRY BOOSTED BM66 (1300 METRES) |
---|
1. Ostracised appreciated being down in the weights when scoring a last start Coffs Harbour victory. He is down in grade here but up in weight again but has the benefit of an apprentice allowance. 6. My Mate Kate won well at Newcastle two starts ago, then ran fourth at Gosford when far from disgraced. 8. Christa won her first two starts before a fourth at Tuncurry and a third at Tamworth. She’s had two trials leading into this resuming run. 9. Pins And Needles was a winner at Port Macquarie three starts ago and has claims on that effort.
How to play it: Ostracised WIN.
