Selections based on a heavy track

4. Rouladen resumed from a spell and was having his second start in a race when a last start fourth at Nowra when beaten one length. He looks to have come back in good order and should handle the rise in distance and the step up in distance. 5. Royal And Ready has only had two starts and followed an unplaced debut effort as favourite with a placing at Newcastle. 8. Mr Bohemian failed on debut at Gunnedah, but his two subsequent runs have been sound at Scone and Tamworth, and he shouldn’t be taken lightly. 6. Landmark Lady is a last start placegetter that can get into the minor money.

How to play it: Rouladen WIN.

5. World Wide showed talent in three starts earlier in the year and also resumes after two trials and is poised to run well. 8. Lighthorseman has had a number of trials leading into this debut and ran second last time out in a Warwick Farm heat. 7. King Of The Top was placed at this track on debut in a solid performance and should be prominent again. 6. Buccaneering debuts after two trials and bears close watching.

How to play it: World Wide WIN.

2. Herman Said returns from a spell here after two trials and has a sound overall record with two wins and three placings from nine starts. He was competitive when unplaced in a couple of Brisbane runs before the break and looks set to resume with a bold showing. 5. Remember Jack is also first-up after two trials and had solid Sydney city form before being spelled. Expect him to be prominent. 1. Tartaglia showed improvement when midfield at Taree last time out and can figure here without surprising. 6. The Piccolino has looked good winning two in a row at Taree and can be thereabouts again.

How to play it: Herman Said WIN.

5. No Limits is having his first start and being out of a Lonhro mare should appreciate the rain affected track. He’s had three trials in total and won the latest of them at Wyong. 9. Skyrise has won two of her three trials leading into this first start and warrants plenty of respect, while 11. Eastern Beauty ran second at Goulburn in her second start in a race and resumes here after two trials and won the latest. 6. Public Safety has looked good in two trials annd ran second to Skyrise in the latest.

How to play it: No Limits WIN.

12. Tigroni raced on the speed and was beaten narrowly when second at this track when resuming. She looks set to win this. 3. Avon Calling is resuming from a spell and has a city placing to her name. 7. Rising Revolution has been placed in all three starts and should be in the mix again. 13. Ask Di wasn’t far away when a last start fourth at Kembla Grange and can be placed.

How to play it: Tigroni WIN.

3. Pazyryk was first-up from a spell at this track last month and lived up to his potential when breaking through for a strong maiden win. She’s drawn to get a good run in this event and can go on with the job now she’s broken through. 4. Issy’s Star has shown ability in her career with a win and three placings from eight starts, and she resumes here and has been placed twice when first-up. 1. Grinzinger Pod resumes here on the back of two trials for a new stable and beats close watching. 2. Rockin’ Millie is also first-up and returns from a long spell. She’s had two trials and is set to sprint well fresh.

How to play it: Pazyryk WIN.

1. Iron Fury was in good form before being spelled and has had two starts since resuming and finished fourth in each of them, the latest being at Hawkesbury. He’s drawn well in a small field here and gets a chance to break through again. 4. I Am Brave has one win from six starts and wasn’t too far away on the line when resuming with a sixth at Kembla Grange. This looks well within her reach. 5. Serinda is a former Victorian that was resuming for a new stable when finishing last at this track when fresh last time out and is capable of improving. 6. Gaelic Gem was placed at Wyong before failing to fire at Hawkesbury when last produced but can lift on that effort in this.

How to play it: Iron Fury WIN.

Race 3 (2) Herman Said.
