RACE 1

3. Bird Girl She is an improving filly who emerged as the one to beat after running home hard in two furlongs after a spell. The decrease in distance is offset by a month between runs. 1. Fast Pete A five-year-old boy who found the line well when he went out for the first time in a year. That race had a little more depth than that and overcame the odds along with the gear changes. Track bets 2. Great Steppe returning for his second preparation after two attempts. 11. Make a Mess She is a mare by Outreach who made her debut after two trials.
How to play: Birdy Girl will win.

RACE 2

1. Call Me Basil He was well supported and closely followed as he made his second start after a 33-week absence. He was brought in to go further and with his extra fitness in the game he will be strong here late on. 2. The Magic of Metal He has raced sparingly this year, but on the last start he showed the ability to attack the line with solid pace and pulled away to get a smooth run. 7. Cosmos is honest and can handle small amounts of money, but 8. Violent Impulse He could improve sharply on his third start after falling short as a well-backed favorite in Canberra two weeks ago.
How to play: Call me Basil to win.

RACE 3

3. Navy Buoy He is well placed to make it two wins from his last three and is pushing the mileage with a quick turnaround. He easily earned his first win at Armidale before returning to his best in a deeper CL1 at Newcastle just eight days ago. This form works well for this despite a wide draw and can be saved for a run in the final 400 metres. 10. Balmain Warrior Despite being left unwanted in the betting, he made a solid start at Scone and improved further there. keep safe 1. Caledonian language probably in the fourth row, with winks added. 6. I think I’m Irish provides a rigid fit and rolls forward from center gate and 4. Brave Splendor he pulls the fence and enjoys second place in the class.
How to play: Navy Buoy will win.

RACE 4

3.Jimmy Manolo He crosses the line third at Wyong, tries to do no work and finds a weaker country race. It’s way beyond the odds. 1. Mission Bravo He is a solid weight-carrier who defied the betting drift, storming home to win at Taree after reloading from a setback. 4. Purple Kitten He has struggled to win two of his last three matches, but his questioning distance is rising rapidly under that weight. 6. Run ‘N’ directs the rest deeper into the current preparation 9. Stock Way Improving fourth and back arrivals from the provincial level.
How to play: Jimmy Manolo wins.
