BEST BETS
Race 2, No.1 - RAIDERLICIOUS ($3.20 favourite on TAB)
Race 4, No.2 - INVINCIBLE PHANTOM ($1.90 fav)

8. SCOTTISH PEARL ($1.65 favourite on TAB) has delivered top three results in provincial grade at her past two contests with reliable form lines. Suited at this trip third-up slightly back in grade and should be prominent from the outset. 6. Goofinator ($4.60) dug deep to deliver at the same track and trip last time. Slipstream draw matters and capable of more home track heroics. 5. Buff In Disguise ($17) has finished close-up in his past three country grade contests and a firmer track plays him into calculations. 2. Devils Daughter ($5.50) has been all iron horse of late and lines up for her fourth run in three weeks. Only query is what’s left in the tank.

1. RAIDERLICIOUS ($3.20 fav) stuck to the task gamely on debut at this track in October and stable is hot enough to stare down lava at present. Reads right resuming. 4. Foxy Artist ($6) rifled home with purpose on debut at Grafton and the stable makes the long trek south with obvious intent. Despite the visitor's draw has real appeal. 10. Gaelic Gem ($11) was backed for a stack on debut at this track and tried hard as runner-up on a heavy surface. Slightly up in trip but is a key runner. 9. Wolf Island ($7.50) has put up good numbers of late despite being plagued by poor draws Fighting fit for what looks a tougher test.

9. FREDDIE BASSETT ($1.35 fav) looks the pea slotting into a country maiden after two solid metropolitan efforts to date. 'Good for the wallet Collett (Alysha)' pilots from a quiet gate setting a strong standard 11. One Step Closer ($2.90) has offered drift back efforts in his past two contests at Hawkesbury and Kembla Grange. Two trials and a race adds up to a show best scenario. 2. Stock Road ($2.90) was placed at this track and trip last campaign and recent Warwick Farm trial was sharp. Value chance. 7. Sunday ($15) has held her margin late in provincial company at her past three starts giving her top four claims.

2. INVINCIBLE PHANTOM ($1.90 fav) was ultra-competitive in two strong juvenile races in the autumn and has been all hustle in two recent trials. Expecting a sharp jump and run display first-up. 3. Floral Legend ($2.90) hasn't been far away in two strong provincial races since resuming. Nicely placed for a winning challenge. 6. Blue Eyed Brigid ($7.50) has offered mix fodder in two recent trials but eases back into a lighter contest than her two autumn races. 6. Lovehunter ($19) sees a good track for the first time in her career and her first-up run at Wagga was her only outing in the past 14 months. With added fitness is worth another look at odds.

3. BOOMTOWN CHAT ($7) has been very low key in two recent trials but has shown previously he can peel of a snappy first-up result in good time. Worth wagering he can overcome a wide draw. 2. King Taurus ($3.70) keeps pushing up in the weights courtesy of a win and a top three cheque from his past two starts against similar opposition. With a no excuses draw promises more of the same. Can easily find 5. All Too Lucky ($8) after she missed the jump in a hot race at Moruya second-up. Probably spots them a start but should find the competition more to her liking. 4. Extreme Diamond ($2.50 fav) lost his way at the back end of last campaign but recent trials have been toey enough. In-form hoop another plus.

No slur on the form of 4. KEN'KER ($6) prior to a spell and he immediately got back into the groove with a runner-up effort at Queanbeyan first-up. Kind draw puts him handy early with genuine claims. 1. Socrazyinlove ($2 fav) was perfectly placed by the stable to deliver first-up off the back of strong interstate form prior to that. Goes to a Class 2 with extra kilos but still has genuine presence in this line up 3. Montigo Bay ($7) was midfield in a handy provincial race over a mile last start. Finally lands a sweet draw and fitness no issue. 9. Sweet Treats ($6.50) is a last start winner in genuine country grade and has form at this track and trip. Cheeky chance with no weight on her back.

Happy to forgive the effort of 1. BOOM IN THE DARK ($5.50) on a genuinely wet track at Nowra last start. Previous runs in similar company were stylish enough to give the stable it's fifth win of the month. 1. Luna Jet ($3 fav) returns without an official trial for the Matt Dale camp and his early prep runs were upside efforts. Despite drawing wide should be rock solid in the market. 2. Manwari ($5.50) has carried his solid winter resolve into the change of season winning a Moruya Benchmark 58 rated race nine days ago. At his trip limit but returns home a confident horse 3. Performing Diva ($8.50) gets a 3kg weight drop and has the natural speed to lead. Capable of much better back to home track.
