2. KING NIC - He began his campaign four runs ago/Moruya. He’s continued to progress as his preparation has unfolded. Visors replaced Blinkers here at home last start and the Race that he won on the day has already produced very strong form. 3. ALL MACHIAVELLIAN - He has been given a freshen-up since his gallant effort in defeat here at his home base over 1600m last start when he beat home two subsequent start Winners. Switching back slightly in distance is not expected to create an issue now. 1. DIRECT FIRE - He returns to his home base after an unplaced fourth up effort within this distance range last start at Rosehill when he was not disgraced against stronger opposition. He is proven fifth up and can regain his best form without causing a surprise. 6. PRETTY SASSY - She was produced third up and at her second run since a six week break when she conceded too great a start here at her home base/1400m in this Class last start. She was a fourth up Nowra Winner last preparation and she can improve today.

2. BONDI BLOSSOM - This filly was making her Kembla Grange debut when she stepped up into this distance range last start with Christian Reith aboard. She was too good for all except Luna Bay before Luna Bay all but scored again two days ago at Hawkesbury. 3. INSPIRED LEGEND - He is a Randwick trained colt who had Trialed twice at home before he was produced first up here/1400m last start. He struck traffic problems on the day and he did a top job to finish as close to the Winner as he did. He can improve second up. 5. LET’S BE HONEST - She has started at double-figure odds at both starts to date and she kept trying in defeat on both occasions. She can only present Race-fitter today with a latest effort over 1500m behind her and a Tongue Tie has been added to her Gear. 7. POLO - She handed in an honest effort first up over 1200m at Wyong before there were excuses over the same distance second up/Warwick Farm. She then conceded too great a start here last run when quick late sectionals were recorded for the Class.

1. COUPLES RETREAT - She had Trialed twice at Rosehill before she made a Kembla Grange debut when she resumed over this distance last start with Mollie Fitzgerald aboard. Despite racing keenly, she rose to the occasion. She is proven second up. 2. CANI CANCAN - This Kembla Grange trained mare returns to her home base after a freshen-up and also after an honest effort in defeat when she was attempting a Class Rise within this distance range last start at Moruya. She’s more suitably placed now. 7. ALL THE WAY MAE - As has been the case first and second up, she presents at home and over the same trip. She should not be harshly judged for an unplaced latest effort when there were excuses after a twenty-five day break. This quicker back-up is a plus. 8. RAINBOW GLOW - She presents first up in her first preparation since a Stable Change after Trialing here eleven days ago with Brock Ryan aboard. Her unplaced lone effort in her last campaign must be overlooked as she was outclassed at Listed level on the day.

10. VIRGIL’S GIFT - This Randwick trained filly presents on debut after Trialing at her on her home track twice as a lead-up. She has done more than enough in those Trials to be expected to be suitably placed on this spacious circuit at her first start7. LETHAL LOVE - There were excuses for an unplaced effort on debut at Canberra/1000m before she was responsible for a solid performance when she stepped up to tackle this distance here last run. She will be Race-fitter now for 1200m. 6. LA BASILIQUE - She Trialed twice at home/Rosehill before a break. She’s also been given two Trials earlier this month. This trip should be ideal on debut. 8. MICHONNE’S KATANA - She will also be facing the Starter for the first time. Two recent Trials at home/Rosehill suggest that this Class suits

8. SALOON PASSAGE - This filly struck early trouble before she refused to shirk her task in defeat on debut here last start when quick closing sectionals for the Class were recorded. She can be expected to make natural improvement at her second run in a Race. 6. REIGN OF HONOR - He had Trialed on three occasions before he was beaten at short odds when he was produced on debut within this distance range last run/Hawkesbury. Excuses were however offered and he can atone without surprising. 2. PIERRO LAD - He was withdrawn from the Scone Meeting held yesterday with his Stable choosing this Race as his best target. His unplaced effort was better than it appears on paper when he stepped up to tackle this distance last start on the Kensington Track. 5. ALABAMA CHARM - after Trialing twice at Rosehill, she was produced within this distance range when she resumed last start at Coonamble. She was too good for all except Chamber Of Secrets and she is now more than ready to make her Kembla Grange debut.

4. FERNWEH - He presents third up in his second campaign and he makes his Provincial Circuit debut. He was produced after a break of twenty-eight days when he did all but lead throughout over this trip last start/Warwick Farm. Race-fitter now for 1200m. 12. PIMLICO - Blinkers and a Tongue Tie had been added to his Gear before he was responsible for a game effort in defeat over this distance here, second up last start. His Race has already produced strong subsequent form. He can improve. 14. WAR KING - He was spelled after he travelled too keenly in transit on debut on the Kensington Track when Blinkers were a part of his Gear. He resumes from that spell with the Blinkers removed and after Trialing here very recently with Louise Day aboard. 13. REVOLUTIONARY STAR - After Trialing twice in April, he was spelled. He has Trialed twice at his Randwick home base in preparation for his debut outing today and he’s done enough in those recent Trials to be suited in this Class at his first start.

4. OTONO - This Kembla Grange trained mare should not be harshly judged for finishing unplaced at all three starts since her last spell. She has been competing against stronger opposition at Randwick on all three occasions. She is better suited today. 6. BUCKENARA - He was not disgraced first up at Newcastle over 1400m before Blinkers were refitted before he led throughout over 1500m last start on the same track. He has scope to further progress when he makes a Kembla Grange debut. 3. CLUBMAN - He finished unplaced when he was produced fourth up at Hawkesbury over 1800m last start but he did become unsuited in transit on the day. He can cope with a switch back to this distance with a Gear Change made/Blinkers On. 7. EXTRAVAGANT CHOICE - He is another who will be making his Kembla Grange debut today. He conceded the Leader/Winner too great a start when he was stepping up to tackle this distance at Albury last start. He will present Race-fitter over the same journey here.

7. CAESAR - This Randwick trained three-year-old had Trialed twice at his home base before he kept trying in defeat after he endured a tough run over 1100m first up at Hawkesbury. He should gain a more suitable run now after drawing an inside gate second up. 4. MADRINA - she presents third up in her first preparation since a Stable Change and she is capable of atoning for a last start defeat here when she started at short odds. She struck traffic problems in transit when she was still too good for all bar Couples Retreat. 10. I AM BRAVE - More was expected when she resumed at Newcastle last start but a Tongue Tie has been added to her Gear today. Improver. 11. MIGNONETTE - She makes Kembla Grange debut first up, after two Trials. She was well supported before a first up Newcastle win last campaign.
