Selections based on a soft track.
Race 1 – 12:50PM WINTER RACING HANDICAP (1550 METRES)
5. New Offer was set a task going 1100m to 1600m into his second start at Gosford and he settled well back but found the line very well late. A few changes here with blinkers on and a soft gate and, while only 1kg better off against the winner of that race, hes a good chance to turn the tables.

8. Bacchus brings some handy form into this race, having closed late into fourth behind Prince Fawaz and Reloaded last start, and that was on the back of another handy effort at Warwick Farm. Extra ground suits and hes worth respecting. 2. Hey Mighty debuted behind Exceedance then worked hard early at Kembla before holding them all off in a game win on June 1. Will go forward and could take catching. 1. Chains Of Honour did all the chasing to win on debut at 1600m beating New Offer and hes also fitted with blinkers here. Whether hes going to be dour remains to be seen but a definite chance.
How to play it: New Offer E/W.
Race 2 – 1:25PM TAB HANDICAP (1400 METRES)
6. Lucknow Lady made a very promising debut at Kembla a few weeks back. She ran fourth of seven but was only beaten a length and raced in restricted room over the last 100m. Expecting the extra 200m to help and shes going to get plenty of favours here. Hard to beat.
Dangers: 1. Betty Blooms ran well on debut on a soft track in October then had excuses first-up when she pulled up 2/5 lame at Canterbury. Tricky draw to offset but she tends to push forward and is entitled to another chance. 7. Havana Storm wasnt disgraced on debut then never a show behind Embracer at Warwick Farm in what was a stronger maiden than this one. Extra ground might be a plus and is open to improvement. 4. Southern Romance looked to have her chance at Newcastle when she hit the front but was run down late first-up from a spell. Fitter so there is upside and she is one of the chances.
How to play it: Lucknow Lady WIN; Quinells 1 & 6.
Race 3 – 2.00PM KENSINGTON HANDICAP (1100 METRES)
13. Lucicello holds the key to this race. She was thrown in the deep end in the autumn and didnt handle the conditions behind Amercement but was in the market. Her two trials have been super and just needs the luck to be in the finish on what weve seen.
Dangers: 10. Night Flyer took a while to wind up on debut at Kembla but was very strong late and the form through the winner has held up in the city. Can only be better for the run and drawn to have every chance. 3. Bullet Master worked home nicely in his latest trial over 1045m and has shown enough in his two hit-outs to suggest he has some ability. Keep in mind. 5. Leviathan showed some improvement in his second trial this time in. Well bred and has the inside alley so keep an eye on betting around him.
How to play it: Lucicello WIN; Trifecta 13/3,5,10/3,5,10.
Race 4 – 2.35PM CASINO PRINCE @ VINERY HANDICAP (1100 METRES)
2. November Man rises sharply in weight but against that drops in class on his easy win at Randwick a couple of weeks ago and lands in a very winnable race. Races well here, gets back and will be the one charging home with any improvement in the track a plus for him.
Dangers: 9. Accelerato had some support at his first run for Joe Pride and didnt run up to it but he trialled too well leading in to drop off after one run. Fitter and sting out is a plus so expect improvement. 7. Manzana will look to lead and if he does get some control he could take some running down. Too slick at Gundgai with a big weight then game in a feature sprint at Parkes. Not out of it. 5. Celer appreciated a fast run race and was a bit too strong at Gosford despite 1100m being a bit short of his best. If they happen to overdo it here hell be hard to hold out.
How to play it: November Man WIN; Trifecta 2/5,7,9/5,7,9.
Race 5 – 3.10PM RACINGNSW RISING STAR SERIES FINAL (1400 METRES)
6. Stella Sea Sun is a filly on the way up and she was probably not suited coming back 50m when placed at Canterbury, though she was strong on the line. Rise in distance a plus, drawn nicely and should take plenty of beating.
Dangers: 1. Watchdog hasnt done a lot wrong this time in. Run down by a promising one at Scone then in a blanket finish at Warwick Farm over a mile. Will need a little luck from the barrier but on form has plenty going for him. 9. The Party Girl had two months between runs and she was running on well into fourth at Warwick Farm over 1300m. Was big odds there but can only be improved and is certainly an each-way chance on that effort. 2. Rockin Ruga has had his chance in two runs since a first-up win but this is down a notch in depth and he could gets some control on the speed. If that happens then hes worth plenty of respect.
How to play it: Stella Sea Sun WIN.
