Selections based on a soft track

10. Mutiny is on debut here after having one barrier trial in which she was beaten just on four lengths. She is a daughter on Anders and is in a good local stable with Chelsea Hillier to ride. 6. Priscila Statement ran third and fourth at Muswellbrook and Scone at her only two starts and resumes here on the back of a second in a Muswellbrook trial. She looms as a leading chance. 8. Ellofadude is a Written By gelding having his first start and has had two trials either side of a break. He won the latest of them at Muswellbrook and looks prime to run well. 4. Wanavan has been placed in four of 10 starts and was placed behind Ellofadude in a trial in preparation for this.

How to play it: Mutiny EACH WAY.

1. Money Games is a gelding by Casino Prince having his first start in a race. He’s had three trials in preparation with two earlier in the year and then another recent one leading into this. He looks set to run well with Christian Reith taking the ride. 2. Hinto raced on the speed at this track when resuming from a spell and battled on well when finishing second. Another forward showing is on the cards. 3. Sethnique disappointed at Bathurst two starts ago and then ran fourth at Bowraville when last produced. 4. Tuncurry has been racing well without winning and hasn’t been beaten too far at Port Macquarie and Muswellbrook at his latest two starts.

How to play it: Money Games WIN.

2. Taipan Legend has hit his straps of late having scored a strong win at this track when racing on the speed before finishing a last start second at this track when again racing on the pace and battling on strongly enough. He’s drawn to get a good run again here and can be in the firing line again. 5. Deebo won well at this track when resuming then was midfield at Scone before a last start third here. He’s up in distance for this and can give plenty of cheek. 1. Invincible Red comes out of the same race Deebo contested last time out and can get into the minor placings this time. 7. Set To Prophet has been placed in his latest three starts and another bold showing is expected.

7. Silent Ace was a winner at Dubbo three runs ago and comes into this after a last start second at Narromine when settling back and making a midrace move to get into the placings. He only needs to have maintained that form to be hard to hold out here. 2. Recovery Road is a former Victorian that has had two starts since joining the new stable. He can improve here on his two starts in this area. 3. Girrawheen had been racing well before losing its rider early in the event at Narromine at his latest start and he gets his chance to bounce back. 1. Reflecting Fame followed a fourth at Scone with a last start seventh at this track and he has the ability to figure here.

9. Enterprise Legend ran second at Dubbo before a last start eighth at Warwick Farm. He was a winner at this track four starts ago. 1. Black Duke is a handy performer at best and wasn’t beaten far at Mudgee at his latest start. 7. Tainui was a winner at this track then failed to beat a runner home in a Scone Highway before being spelled. He resumes here. 4. Mystery Lad followed a second at this track two starts ago with a last start fourth here behind Speck. He has the talent to get into the minor money.

How to play it: Enterprise Legend EACH WAY.

5. Nation Changing is a promising galloper that won his first two starts at Scone and Armidale in good style before being spelled. He resumed with a fourth at Scone behind Cool Storm when beaten less than one and a half lengths. He’s drawn well here and can bounce back to winning form. 13. Shotgun Bella won well on debut here back in March and resumed with a Tamworth placing which she gained on protest as favourite after striking trouble. 12. Crimson Bonnet was placed here last time out and has place claims again, while 4. He’s My Warrior has been racing well and warrants plenty of thought.

6. Halo Phenomena debuted for the new stable with a win at this track in April and was then spelled. He’s been placed in a recent Muswellbrook trial leading into this and is primed to run well. 3. Enniroc was a winner here before a last start fourth at this track and should be prominent again. 2. Not Written Off was placed in a couple of runs before a last start eighth at Newcastle, while 7. Pelette ran well when placed at Muswellbrook last time out and can get into the minor money again.
