Selections based on a soft track

7. Horseshoe Hill had a couple of trials before debuting with a third at Wyong in December. She resumes here after another two trials and looks set to come back as a winner. 6. Vanlee ran second on debut at Wyong in December and resumes here after a couple of trials including a second at Warwick Farm last time out. 2. Land Speed resumes here after two trials. He could get into the placings here. 8. Racy Time has been down the track in two trials but shouldn’t be underestimated.

How to play it: Horseshoe Hill WIN.

5. Celerity had solid form with two placings from four starts before resuming with a second at Warwick Farm when only grabbed in the last few strides. She’s drawn well here and looks set to resume as a winner. 3. All Saints finished second on debut at Kembla Grange earlier in the year and has won a trial leading into this. 1. El Qasabi ran second on debut at Goulburn and looks set to run well again here despite the wide draw. 8. Nordic Star has had two trials leading into this debut and is one of the leading contenders.

How to play it: Celerity WIN.

3. Reverberates has been placed in three of her six starts. She’s finished second in her latest two at this track and Wyong. She’s up in distance for this and looks set to break through. 1. Malbork Castle has a consistent record with six placings from eight starts. He was placed at Kembla Grange last time out and looks set to run well again. 6. Jump In The Line ran home well to be placed last time out and only needs to repeat that effort to be in the thick of things again. 7. Khant Fail was midfield at Kembla Grange when last produced. She’s been placed in four of nine starts and isn’t out of this.

How to play it: Reverberates WIN.

8. Jamarni was second-up from a spell when hitting the line well for a second at Kembla Grange when last produced. He’s been placed in two of nine starts and is not out of this. 1. Piccaderro resumes here having been placed in three of five starts and looks a leading contender again. 6. Empress Tsarina ran third at Kembla Grange last time out and is worth including among the main chances again. 9. Penalties is a recent trial winner and ran well at Nowra before being spelled.

How to play it: Jamarni WIN.

2. Queen’s Rhapsody broke through to score a maiden victory at this track last time out. She’d been placed in all four starts before that and despite the wide draw she looks the one to beat in this. 11. Nothing But Net debuted with a strong win at Goulburn at good odds. He looks a talented type with plenty of upside. 10. Hazel Jean wasn’t beaten far when a last start second at Canterbury. She has her share of ability. 6. Hippy Dreams is lightly raced with a solid record and has shown enough talent in her career to be a contender in this.

How to play it: Queen’s Rhapsody WIN.

3. Celtic Sin resumed from a spell with a dominant victory at Wyong. She followed that up with a down the track effort at this track. She’s drawn well here and should be fresh enough to run well again. 1. Charleroi has only had three starts for a win and a third. He is a last start winner at Kembla Grange and ran well in both runs on the Kensington track before that. 5. Wexford Miss has been placed in each of her last two starts and she only needs to run up to those efforts to be a contender here. 6. Grey Secret has a handy record and has drawn the rails here.

How to play it: Celtic Sin EACH WAY.

5. Hovland won at this track at his second start in December last year. He ran second at Gosford when second-up this campaign and looks ideally suited here from the inside gate. 6. Like Lukey ran second at Scone when resuming. She can lift on her latest run at Rosehill. 8. Incantation is a talented filly with two wins and three placings from eight starts. She is set to run well again here. 10. Fairhead won a maiden at Goulburn last time out and isn’t out of this.

How to play it: Hovland WIN.

6. The Grey has a win and three seconds from seven starts. He resumed with a fifth at Kembla Grange when beaten less than a length. If he can repeat that effort here, he should be hard to hold out. 2. Cassiel won well at Canterbury when resuming and looks set to run well again. 4. Inoue came back from a break in great form winning two in a row before a last start fourth. He can bounce back here. 7. Power Smash won two in a row before a solid last start fifth at Warwick Farm when not beaten far. He has the talent to run well again.

How to play it: The Grey WIN.
