5. BARKING MAD - He was spelled after his unplaced debut effort over 1100m at his Rosehill home base when his Beaten Margin was misleading after he struck traffic problems in transit. He resumes today after a Randwick Trial. This journey suits fresh. 4. SOUTHERN PRINCE - He begins his third campaign after Trialing twice in town earlier in the month and he will be competing as a gelding for the first time. Winkers replace Blinkers today and his first up Newcastle effort last preparation was full of merit. 6. COMIC CULTURE - After Trialing twice at his Randwick home base, he was produced first up from a very long spell here last start when he became unsuited in transit on a Heavy surface. He can make a mockery of that effort today without surprising. 2. CALIFORNIA COMMAND - He stepped up to tackle this trip last start at Newcastle when he did a terrific job to finish as close to the winner as he did after he endured a tough run from a wide gate. He should have less to do here from his inside Barrier.

7. LUNA BAY - This Rosehill trained filly presents on debut after Trialing at home in late August and then again when Keagan Latham was aboard at Hawkesbury earlier this month. She can be expected to already appreciate this testing trip at her first start. 8. MADE IN ITALY - She was spelled after she Trialed twice in a first campaign. After Trialing here and Hawkesbury earlier this month, she makes her debut. She has a wide gate to overcome but expect her to concede most an early start and then hit the line hard. 3. LADY YARROW - She presents third up in her second preparation and she will be making her home track debut today. She was beaten at very short odds last start at Moruya but she was far too good for all except the winner and she still has scope to improve. 5. WINNING RULET - She will also be making her home track debut today. She can be forgiven for her unplaced third up effort last start at Canberra after she drew almost the widest gate. Her previous performance/Wyong was full of merit within this distance range

1. PRINCE OF SORTS - There were excuses for an unplaced run at home/Wyong before he handed in quick late sectionals to win last run/Coffs Harbour/1315m. He can be expected to relish the distance rise that now awaits, aided by the Claim for Shannen Llewellyn. 4. BLESSTAS - She presents at her home base, fourth up in her second preparation since a Stable Change. She was stepping back to tackle this distance here last start when she performed well above Market Place expectations and she can maintain her form today. 5. SUPER SUGOI - His most recent four starts have occurred here over this distance and he has maintained excellent consistency whilst encountering differing Track Conditions on each occasion. There is no evidence to suggest that he might not perform strongly again. 2. STONECOAT - He stepped back to tackle this trip last start at his Canberra home base when he led throughout after a break of four weeks. He now makes his Kembla Grange debut eight days later. Similar tactics can be adopted and he is proven after a very similar break.

9. SCOOP THE POOL - He was spelled after his honest debut effort in Open Two-Year-Old Class at Rosehill. After two lead-up Trials, more was expected from him when he was resuming at Warwick Farm last start. He will however present race-fitter now. 7. ABOVE THE LAW - He presents for the fourth time in his first campaign. He has found one other too good at all three starts to date but he has beaten home subsequent start winners on each occasion. A step up in distance from 1300m should now suit. 3. HAMMOON HEROINE - She debuted here when she struck trouble in a Race that’s produced strong form. Newcastle/Canterbury efforts since have been solid. 6. WELCOME RED SUN - Efforts at Newcastle and when she made a Kembla Grange here last run were game. Winkers now go on. She can further improve.

9. SERPICO - He begins his second campaign after Trialing in early July and then again earlier this month at home (Rosehill). The form from both of his Trials is most encouraging and he can be regarded as suitably placed in this Class, making his Kembla Grange debut. 10. AISLE TWO - She was spelled after she didn’t threaten here on debut or then at Wagga but after Trialing here in Auguest, she significantly improved with Winkers added to her Gear here last start over 1000m. A step up in distance can now be regarded as a plus. 7. KING’S EXCEED - He is trained here at Kembla Grange and he will be making his Race-day debut today after Trialing twice here at home earlier in the year and then again here earlier this month. He has the natural speed to gain a dream run in transit. 13. MAMMA MIA - She was spelled after she Trialed twice in town back in November of last year and after two subsequent Trials since her spell this month, she finally makes her debut today. She has done enough in those recent Trials to be now suited in this Class.

2. GOLDEN CENTURY - He was produced for the third time in his first Australian preparation when he relished the step up to 1900m last start at Canterbury. He settled on the pace before he found the line with no dangers. He should now have more to offer. 1. DUNWITHYA - He didn’t threaten on debut on a Heavy Nowra track but on a Soft 5 surface when he was produced last start/Wagga/Riverside Track he greatly improved after Blinkers were added to his Gear. He is ready to now make his home track debut. 5. DOLCE DIOR - This lightly raced mare had only been given the lone lead-up Trial before she was produced first up last start over 1600m at Hawkesbury. She wasn’t disgraced on a Soft 7 surface and she will present Race-fitter today over this more suitable journey. 4. SEPTIMUS - After opening his account two starts ago at Newcastle, he didn’t finish far away from Devils Daughter when he was attempting to immediately take the step out of Maiden grade last start at Goulburn. He has scope to improve with his latest effort behind him.

6. SUPERFABULISTIC - She was spelled after two Randwick Trials but after two much more recent Trials, she scored with authority over this distance on debut last start at Hawkesbury. Taking the next step is anything but immediately beyond her here. 3. MASTER OF THE AIR - He had Trialed twice before he was dominant when he opened his account here last start over 1200m with Lee Magorrian aboard. He has Trialed since at his Rosehill home base and stepping up to tackle this journey can now be ideal. 1. HARDPOINT - He begins his third campaign today after two recent Trials. He did all but lead throughout here/1500m first up last preparation after two Trials when on the day, he beat home two subsequent start winners. He is suitably placed first up today. 2. KENDALIA - He was attempting a step up to this distance when he was produced second up last start at Hawkesbury. He struck traffic problems before he refused to shirk his task in defeat and he now presents Race-fitter, aided by the Claim for Mitch Stapleford.

1. APOLLO MISSION - He resumes at home after two Trials. His unplaced first up effort last campaign within this distance range/Canterbury was better than it appears on paper and he was winner here over this distance at his previous first up attempt. 6. BEND THE KNEE - After Trialing twice earlier in the month, he presents first up today. He conceded too great a start over 1100m when he resumed from his past spell at Scone but he did keep trying in defeat with quick late sectionals recorded for the Class on the day. 7. ZIPITALIST - He returns to home base third up with scope to improve. Expect him to cope with this step back from 1435m on this spacious track. 3. NORTON ROAD - He was resuming at home (Wyong) when he surprised the Market Place over 1100m last start. The Race he won has produced strong form.
