Racing & Sports expert selections.
RACE 1 - REMBROY (5) trained on the track and indicated a win was imminent when sticking on well with the 59kg when a fighting second over 1000m here on July 5. Strips fitter third-up and placed over the 1200m. No excuses from the low gate. POWER BEAU (3) returned when having his first run for the Wayne Brown yard with a plugging third over 1000m here on July 5. Will appreciate the 3kg claim and extra trip. Can stalk the speed and take a hand in the finish. RUBILICIOUS (9) taken to the front from a sticky gate and not that far away late when second over 1200m here on June 21. Races best with her runs spaced and has the figures to take this out. DREAM (10) bumped into the promising PHOTOGRAPH on debut when a wilting sixth over 1200m at Scone on July 2. Should improve sharply with the run under the belt and this looks easier.
RACE 2 - MOON TREATY (3) returning from a five-month spell and is now in the Paul Isaac yard. Ran on late from the wide gate when fifth over 1000m at Morphettville Parks on February 14. Back without a trial and expected to sprint well fresh. BLAZED PRINCE (1) has race fitness on his side third-up and looks close to shedding his maiden status. Back in trip for this after charging late from well back when third over 1200m at this track on July 5. Gets the right tempo and can finish over the top of them. READ 'EM AND WEEP (10) at her top for this and stuck on well when fourth over 1280m at Muswellbrook on July 11. This looks easier and expected to take a hand in the finish. STARSARISE (11) three-year-old filly by Star Turn out of Rock Me Baby on debut for the Cavanough yard. Not asked to do much when fifth over 800m at Muswellbrook on June 26. Well drawn and can take a hand in the finish.
RACE 3 - REFLECTING FAME (1) resumed in good order when sitting off the speed before launching late with a narrow second over this course and distance on June 28. Will prove hard to hold out with the run under the belt. ENTERPRISE DANCER (2) started hard in the market when having her first run for the Kris Lees yard when a close-up second over 1200m here on June 28. Will drift back from the sticky gate and hit the line late. ALWAYS SPLIT TENS (6) is a six-start maiden who drops sharply in trip after fading quickly when a poor ninth over 2000m at the Gold Coast Poly on June 29. Run two-back was full of merit and can turn it around quickly here. HOLY SONG (9) fitter after two runs back and drop in weight suits. Gets the winkers on today after running on late when fifth over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Looks to have genuine each-way prospects.
RACE 4 - OUTBACK RINGER (7) progressive sprinter who saves his best for this track and trip. Resumed in good order when a slick winner over 900m at Scone on July 2. Goes just as well second-up and can win again from the inside gate. LEAVE ME SOME (3) back in grade and trip for this and comes out of a strong form race after finishing sixth to The Dramatist over 1200m here on June 28. Can race closer from the good gate and prove hard to hold out. I'M NOT SLEW (6) fourth-up for this after showing good early speed last start before wilting sharply with a dismal ninth over this track and trip on July 6. Drops in weight and expecting more today. WIGGLES (8) resumes here after winning two in a row last time in. Motored late from well back when a solid sixth over 1200m at Randwick in Highway grade on February 24. Returns without a trial and sure to be strong late.
RACE 5 - VINCENZO (1) undefeated at this track and freshened up for this after jumping in class and trip when a poor 11th over 2000m in the LR Lord Mayor's Cup at Randwick on June 8. Anywhere near his best should see him too strong for these. PRIME IMPACT (5) returns from a let-up with excellent figures over the mile. Came to the end of his prep when a tiring fifth over 2180m at Ipswich on May 22. Bumped into some handy types last time in and expected to play a leading role fresh. WATCH ME RUMBLE (7) relished the extra trip when run down late to secure second over 1600m at Dubbo on June 30. Will sit on the speed and take a hand in the finish. SATAY CHICKEN (10) strips fitter for this after resuming with an encouraging fifth over 1400m here on June 28. Ready for the mile now and looks well in on the limit weight.
RACE 6 - STOCK THE ROSE (5) raced in career-best form last time in and returned with an eye-catching third over this track and trip on June 21. Goes equally as well second-up and will relish the good tempo. MAGIC FLYER (7) good fresh gelding resuming. Went out a winner after running on late to score over 1000m here on January 8. Trained on the track and fitted with two recent trials. STOCKHOLM (8) resumes after showing ability last time in. Came to the end of his prep when a tiring fifth over 1600m at Parkes on January 27. Looked sharp in a recent trial win and gets in light with the 3kg claim. KEIKOKU (2) ran on late from last on the turn when a narrow second over 1300m at Scone on June 23. This looks easier and sure to be strong again late.
RACE 7 - TO BE FRANK (3) having his first start for the Sue Grills yard after coming up from Victoria. Made up good ground late from the outside draw when a sound fifth over 1500m at Ballarat Synthetic on May 21. Will appreciate the 3kg claim and take stopping from the low gate in this weak affair. ZAHDI (6) down in weight and class for this after being used up early before tiring late when fifth over 1300m at Scone on June 23. Ready for this trip now and stays in the mix. NO MORE ROMANCE (4) improving gelding who's returned in good order this prep. Broke his maiden status two-back before running on late when third over 1200m here on July 5. Finally draws a decent gate and expected to race closer. Genuine contender. INVINCIBLE RED (8) close to his top for this third-up after finishing a plugging eighth over 1280m at Muswellbrook on June 17. Kept fresh and undefeated on his home track.
RACE 8 - KEITANY (8) strike rate hardly excites but resumed with an encouraging second over 1000m at Gunnedah on July 1. Gets the winkers on today and has clearly come back much stronger. LEGOLAS (2) sharp improver second-up when down in weight with the claim to finish a gritty third over 1000m at this track on June 21. A repeat of that will see him figure prominently. GREAT SIEGE (1) resumes with a good fresh record. Went out a winner when scoring as fav over this track and trip on April 8. Drawn to stalk the speed and has genuine top-three claims. PROVENCAL (7) fitter after two runs back and desperate for a firmer surface. Tired in the heavy (9) going when last of five over this trip at Muswellbrook on July 11. Place prospects best.
