Selections based on a good track

9. Mean Girls is a speedy mare that has been racing well with wins at her past two starts. She should push forward again here and take plenty of running down. 1. East Harlem has finished second at Bathurst in two of his last three starts and can figure in the finish again despite the wide draw. 13. Line Of Law hasn’t been too far away in recent runs and is not without a chance, while 6. Annual will find this easier than his latest start at Moree.

How to play it: Mean Girls WIN.

11. I’m Scarlett comes into this on the back of a last start Wellington win and only needs to have maintained that form to be the one to beat in this. 1. Celtic Harp is resuming from a spell and has won three times first-up. 8. Avoid Me was a Mudgee winner three starts ago and is a last start winner at the picnics. 13. Norman finished third behind Avoid Me last time out and has claims.

2. Maybe Now hit the line well when resuming from a spell with a second at Mudgee when only beaten narrowly. He should strip fitter for that run. 5. Hammoon Sensation was beaten less than a length when placed at Narromine at his latest start and can figure with a repeat. 10. Fuil Rioga debuted with a third at Bathurst as favourite and is worth another chance. 3. Litlfela has finished third in his latest two starts and has place claims again.

How to play it: Maybe Now WIN.

12. Sunday Lemonade is a filly on debut that has had one trial in which she finished third. She’s drawn well here and can be in the firing line throughout. 2. Race To Arms is also on debut and has had two solid trials in preparation. 1. Jagerschnitzel has been placed in four of eight starts and warrants respect, while 3. Territory Style has won his only trial in preparation for his debut in this.

How to play it: Sunday Lemonade EACH WAY.

7. Andale Andale had looked good in her trials before debuting in good style with a Tuncurry win. She is set to go on with the job here. 2. Yanabah followed a string of placings with a last start Tamworth win and warrants thought again from the good gate. 6. Western Warrior debuted with a solid Mudgee win and can be thereabouts again, while 8. Bulla Vinaka has been placed in both runs back from a spell.

How to play it: Andale Andale WIN.

9. Where’stheprofit has had two runs back from a spell and finished second in each of them. He’s drawn the rails here and should get every chance. 8. Shipshape has performed well in two recent Highway starts in town and will find this easier. 3. Light Infantry has also been contesting Highways of late and is suited here, while 1. Blend Of Three is shooting for three wins on end and is worth plenty of thought.

1. Beaumista came from back in the field with a good run to score a last start Tamworth win and only needs to run up to that to be hard to beat again. 2. Bullion Hunter has won two in a row at Tamworth and Muswellbrook and is worth thought again. 12. Proper Twelve scored at this track before being spelled and resumes here. 11. Famoso resumes here for a new stable and bears close watching.

How to play it: Beaumista EACH WAY.

6. Durova has been racing well and is out to make it four wins on end here. She’s drawn to get every chance from barrier two. 10. Speck scored a good last start Tamworth win and has claims again. 11. Action King resumes on the back of a Canberra trial win, while 1. Osman is classy and should be hitting the line well fresh.

How to play it: Durova WIN.

*BIG DANCE ELIGIBILITY*

10. Tavros has been racing well with a Tamworth win followed by a Moree Cup success. This is harder but he can go on with the job. 4. Cristal Clear has been in form with two straight Rosehill wins and another forward showing is on the cards. 5. Cliff House was midfield in the Goulburn Cup when last produced and has the talent to give this a shake. 3. Another One finished fourth in the Goulburn Cup and also has the ability on his day to be thereabouts.

How to play it: Tavros WIN.

8. Green Pineapple came from last to score a strong Bathurst win at his latest start and only needs to run up to that to be hard to hold out again. 6. Mrs Bull bobs up every now and again and wasn’t beaten far when midfield at Muswellbrook last time out. 3. Slush Fund was a last start Bathurst placegetter that has minor claims again, while 4. The Impeckable will find this easier than a last start Highway event at Rosehill in which he was down the track.

How to play it: Green Pineapple EACH WAY.
