Selections based on a heavy track
Race 1 - 1:20PM HRC MOTEL 4YO&UP MAIDEN PLATE (1300 METRES) |

9. Hurry Miss showed plenty of potential in her first three starts when being placed in each of them at Kembla Grange, Warwick Farm and then the Kensington track at Randwick. She had two goo trials before resuming from a spell at Kembla Grange with a close-up second placing. She had her chance as a short-priced favourite in that event and gets her chance again here from the inside draw in this. 3. Call Me Mojo resumes from a spell here and is a city placegetter from his four starts to date. He’s won two trials leading into this resuming run and bears close watching. 7. Harry’s Evidence resumed from a spell with a second behind Hillier at Newcastle and only needs to run up to that to be hard to hold out against these. 1. Aldezor improved when a second-up fifth at Kembla Grange.
How to play it: Hurry Miss WIN.
Race 2 - 1:55PM BLAKES MARINE MAIDEN HANDICAP (1100 METRES) |

2. Gamp has been racing well with three second placings from as many starts since resuming from a spell. She’s drawn to get a good run in this event and has the talent to break through this time. 3. Ohope was placed on debut at Bendigo then ran well when midfield in the VRC Sires’ Produce at his second start before a fourth at Warwick Farm and then being spelled. He can sprint well fresh here after two trials. 4. Tuscany was midfield in the Breeders Plate on debut and resumed with a seventh on the Kensington track at Randwick. He’s won a trial leading into this. 11. Banknote Hustler resumes here from a wide gate after contesting better races in his only two starts.
How to play it: Gamp EACH WAY.
Race 3 - 2:35PM ST JOHNS PARK BOWLING CLUB CLASS 1 HANDICAP (1500 METRES) |

1. Patissier had two trials before resuming from a spell with a strong win at Kembla Grange over Hurry Miss. He looks to have come back in good style and can go on with the job. 7. Thebes has performed well in two runs back from a spell and has place claims. 2. Affermato resumed with a fourth at Kembla Grange and should strip fitter for that. 8. Annoint was placed in two in a row before finishing fifth in each of his latest two starts. He can get into the minor money again.
How to play it: Patissier WIN.
Race 4 - 3:10PM PIONEER SERVICES MAIDEN PLATE (1500 METRES) |

2. Golden Century is a former Kiwi that ran well when seventh in the Tulloch Stakes and ATC Australian Derby before being spelled. He’s had two trials leading into this and looks poised to sprint well fresh. 5. Sirius Legend resumed with a second on the Kensington track and has had a tick over trial leading into this. 10. Cellarmaster ran well when fourth on debut at Newcastle and can show up in this, while 1. Brut Nature is on debut after two trials and looks to have the talent to run well.
How to play it: Golden Century WIN.
Race 5 - 3:50PM XXXX GOLD CLASS 1 HANDICAP (1100 METRES) |

6. Vanlee raced well when placed at this track and then at Warwick Farm before breaking through to score a strong win at this track when knuckling down late last time out. She’s drawn well here and can be in the thick of things again. 3. Valilee trialled well before debuting with a runaway victory at Gosford and he only needs to repeat that effort to be hard to hold out again. 5. Honey Perfume has a win and eight placings to her name from just the 10 starts and she was a solid last start second at this track. She should figure prominently again. 7. Cheeky Smirk looked good on debut when scoring a win at this track and bears close watching again.
How to play it: Vanlee WIN.
Race 6 - 4:25PM GODOLPHIN PROVINCIAL CLASS 1 HANDICAP (1300 METRES) |
---|
8. All Too Wild has had two runs since resuming from a spell and has finished second in each of them at Grafton and Gosford. She has a solid overall record and there’s no reason she can’t show up against this opposition. 6. Commanding Belle has been racing well with a win and two minor placings at Kembla Grange from three runs since resuming from a spell. She only needs to have maintained that form to be hard to hold out here. 4. Oakfield Neptune won on debut at Newcastle as favourite before a last start third at the same track and can be thereabouts again. 3. Alfred is a last start Wyong winner that is worth including among the main chances again.
How to play it: All Too Wild WIN.
Race 7 - 5:00PM CLARENDON TAVERN MIDWAY BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP (1800 METRES) |
---|
3. Sunset Park ran well when resuming from a spell at this track with a solid fourth. She steps up quickly in distance for this and she should appreciate that despite having a wide alley to contend with. 7. Dalio has been racing well with two second placings from his three runs since resuming. He ran fourth at Warwick Farm in his other run this time in. 9. Jamarni scored a solid win at this track three starts ago and comes into this on the back of a last start fourth at Kembla Grange. 1. Cash Me won in good style at this track when second-up from a spell and warrants thought again here.
How to play it: Sunset Park WIN.
