(Selections based on a soft track)
Race 1
2. Cable Express is a handy performer that has three wins and as many placings from eight starts. He was a winner in Highway company at Randwick two starts ago and then ran second in another Highway at Newcastle in November. He’s been freshened for this and finished second in a recent Hawkesbury trial in preparation. He should be primed to make a winning return to racing. 1. Lang Park has been racing well and finished second at Cowra at his latest start. He should be in the thick of things again here if anywhere near his best. 3. Future Fund is a handy performer that has three wins and two seconds to his name from 10 starts and is a winner of his latest two starts at Albury. He’s fresh for this and looked good in a recent trial. 5. Tokyo Ice won last time out at Moruya and only needs to run up to that effort in order to be a leading contender again here.
How to play it: Cable Express WIN
Race 2
3. Ischyros has shown talent with four placings from just the five starts. He was placed at Moruya last time out and only needs to maintain that form to be hard to hold out here. 8. Performing Diva is on debut and won her only trial in preparation for this. Expect her to be prominent. 5. Yeah Mate was well in the market on debut at Corowa when on debut and is fresh for this. Expect an improvement. 4. Manwari beat home Ischyros last time out and must be respected here.

Race 3
9. Atelier was on debut at Orange and started at big odds when scoring a win in good fashion. This is tougher, but she shows the talent to go on with the job. 3. Miss Ghent has been racing well of late with a fourth and a third in her two most recent starts in Highway grade at Randwick. She has the benefit of an apprentice claim here which should assist her chances. 2. Shadow Express wasn’t beaten far at Nowra last time out and has claims on his best form, while 1. More Mischief has been thereabouts of late.

Race 4
13. Synergize was placed at Newcastle two starts ago and then ran a close-up fourth at Kembla Grange last time out. She’s drawn well here and has the ability to break through. 3. Darken is on debut after a number of trials and can make an impact here. 9. Aweigh can improve on her debut effort from the inside gate in this, while 10. Ballyhoo was midfield at Kembla Grange when last produced and can lift even further on that.

Race 5
2. Rush Fortyfive was midfield on debut on the Beaumont track at Newcastle then ran well when second to Tikiroo at Taree when hitting the line well. He should be suited by the bigger track here. 10. Glory was placed at Nowra last time out and has shown enough talent to make an impact. 4. Golden Loom has been safely held in both starts but is capable of showing improvement. 6. School Fees wasn’t disgraced on debut at Kembla Grange and can figure in the money here without surprising.

Race 6
3. Take The Rap looked the goods winning three of his first four starts at Wagga in good style. He contested Highway company at Randwick when last produced and did well to finish fifth. He looks suited here and can bounce back to winning form. 8. She Within has a good record with a win and two minor placings from four starts. She broke her maiden in great style at Moruya last time out and should be in the thick of things again. 5. Catch The Glory was a debut winner at Kembla Grange and was then placed at Wyong before not being beaten too far at Kembla Grange. She’s had two trials leading into this return to racing. 1. Camerlengo was midfield at Cowra last week and was a Sapphire Coast winner before that.

Race 7
9. Jackpot Star debuted with an impressive win at Wagga as favourite and that came on the back of a solid trial. He led throughout in the first start win and has the advantage of gate one in this. Expect him to take up a prominent position and take a power of beating again. 10. Xcessive Force looked good winning on debut at this track in December and she’s had a tick-over trial leading into this second start. She’s drawn awkwardly here but has the talent to overcome that. 13. Winnie Fortune has only had three starts but was placed in the first two and then won last time out at Nowra. She has the talent to give this a shake. 4. Pins And Needles resumed at Kembla Grange earlier in the month and she should be improved by that hitout. She has a solid record and can get into the placings.
