Racing & Sports expert selections.

RACE 1 - Tricky. YOUR TOO GOOD (6) resumed on the turf here off a longish race beaten 1L in Open grade. She's further improved and despite the weight rise has decent winning claims. RUSTIC BOOM (7) resumes for the same barn and has won 2/2 here. Good enough at best and keep safe. DARE TO SHARE (1) gets in well with the 3kg claim and measure his claims on the 1.3L defeat two back in the Your Too Good race. Goes well here and is also a chance. GLORIOUS RUBY (4) strips fitter third-up and is much better placed back in this grade. Don't underestimate.

RACE 2 - CHIARO DI LUNA (4) raced a short-price favourite narrowly beaten at Toowoomba and will be better for it. Has placed 2/3 second-up and has plenty up the sleeve. Maps well and is the one to beat. HOT TORQUE INVEGAS (9) was heavily bet at Ipswich on debut and was beaten a whisker. She is sure to have come on and draws low. Just has to run out the longer sprint to threaten. DIVINE GEM (5) found more like her best placing here on the turf. Peaks and should be around the mark. HERECOMESANTORINI (2) will be fitter and may be next best.

RACE 3 - Competitive. GALACTIC LEGEND (4) was expected to win here on the turf and may have had excuses. The form coming into that reads well and he's run well on this poly surface. A bounce is likely. GALAXY GENERAL (1) won the Gold Coast poly two-back and was within range there the following. The 1.5kg claim assists and he's proven this course/distance. BULSARA (3) runs along and will find this easier than Doomben and rates well on the Gold Coast prior in a BM70. Gets in well with the 3kg claim and is on a quick backup. BEACHSIDE BABE (8) is better than the form reads. Peaks with the blinkers first time applied and goes in at odds.

RACE 4 - WHAT A WEEKEND (6) was solid first-up on the Gold Coast poly in stronger and is proven second-up. He has plenty up his sleeve and is a player. HE'S ESSENTIAL (5) will be better for the two runs this preparation and races well here. He's in the mix. SCRIPT WRITER (2) tries hard and will be around the mark. WICKED'N' LOVIN'IT (7) will improve with the first-up run under her belt and is drawn to take closer order. Don't take lightly.

RACE 5 - MIDNIGHT MADNESS (2) spiked his figures narrowly beaten this trip on the Gold Coast poly. That stacks right up and he just needs average luck to be winning. CAPITAL BOSS (1) stepped up to this trip and found more like his best when beaten a whisker on the Gold Coast poly. Gives away starts but he will finish hard. OPTIMUS MAXIMUS (9) placed just behind Midnight Madness and can build on that. Keeps the 3kg claim and draws inside today. LOYALTY COUNTS (3) will find this easier than Doomben and will be better third-up. Steps up to this distance for the first time and the blinkers go back on.

RACE 6 - SKATER (3) wasn't beaten far at Ipswich in a 68 finding more like his best. Carries more weight in this grade and they've gone with the 21% course striker KWT who replaces the 3kg apprentice. She's suited and gets her chance. DEAL AN ACE (9) has been going well without winning. He was beaten less than 2L at Eagle Farm last time and has been kept fresh. Respect the local yard. BETTER YET (5) peaks and the blinkers go on again. Good enough at best. PRINCETON AWARD (2) next best.

RACE 7 - ONE IN ALL (6) has placed 2/2 this course and distance Has delivered a big Deagon trial win since last seen 36 days ago and maps for the run of the race. LES GIRLS (10) has gone close on the Gold Coast poly her last three and has weight relief. She can't be ruled out. I AM VOODOO (1) is back in class with a 3kg claimer engaged. His best would give him a chance. CROWN GUINEA (9) hasn't won for a long time but has turned in some eye-catching finishes this campaign. Don't overlook.
