Racing & Sports expert selections.

RACE 1 - GET SOME FUN (11) made a promising debut at Tuncurry where she worked to be on the pace and fought on nicely to run second. Draws well and open to improvement. MYSTIC WAY (5) was slowly out but ran home nicely into second when resuming at Coffs Harbour. Has a wide gate but worth keeping safe. DIAMONDSAREMIO (3) is on debut as a five-year-old but has trialled okay leading into this. Drawn well and any support would be significant. PHANTOM PALACE (6) and BILLYBAGO (8) are among the chances.

RACE 2 - SUAY MAM'SELLE (10) was placed at Hawkesbury two runs back then at the same track held ground in a fair effort. Back a notch in grade here and thrown in with the claim. Go well. HONGKONG HARMONY (3) has been running on without threatening at Wyong in three runs back and might be looking for this sort of trip. Keep in mind. REBEL ONE (6) is an 18 start maiden but hasn't been too far away of late with a couple of recent placings. Keep in mind. LONHREEL (9) and ILLENIUM (4) are worth including.

RACE 3 - SPRING EAGLE (1) disappointed last time but had excuses the winner has since been Group 1 placed. Easier here and hard to beat after the race fell away. DEMPSEY RAE (5) won well at Coffs Harbour two starts back then fair effort at Taree. Worth another chance. DEEPHAR (9) ran an improved race at Bowraville last start and is trained here so could hold some form. CASINO BEAR (7) and DEHERO (6) have claims.

RACE 4 - HIGHLY TEMPTED (11) is racing well this time in with a Taree win two back on heavy then a solid third behind a very smart one at Newcastle. Take plenty of beating. TOY STORY (6) is hard to fault with placings at past three and with the claim gets in nicely. Definite chance. PENNYPACKER (4) was a shade disappointing last time but prior form has him in the mix. CROWIE'S SHOUT (1) and MR VILLA (5) are worth including in the chances.

RACE 5 - AGIRLSBESTFRIEND (3) gets back so always needs some luck and didn't get much of it in a Highway at Rosehill when runner-up. Sure to be running on strongly as usual. GALLIC FOX (4) is a good wet tracker freshened up since a fair run at Goulburn a month ago. Keep in mind. SOUND AND VISION (1) ran a nice race first-up and will appreciate the extra distance. Can continue to improve. WILDERNESS STAR (9) and AMALFI AMORE (8) are in the mix.

RACE 6 - PRIME IMPACT (2) tried hard from on the speed at Kempsey last time and boxed on strongly. Goes forward again and should be in the finish. FIOPROSPERO (5) won at Newcastle three runs back and has been thereabouts since. One of the main chances. OUR BAMBINO (1) has returned in excellent form with a second-up win at Coffs Harbour and the extra trip is only in his favour. Go well. BETTER EXPLAIN (7) and DECLUTTER (11) are each-way hopes.

RACE 7 - DE POET (3) was impressive leading all the way on a heavy track at Taree then way up in class when not disgraced at Rosehill a few weeks ago. Can give a good sight. BUCK PHAROAH (7) was placed behind De Poet before running second at Taree last time out. Sure to be around the mark again. BOURBON FLYER (2) was solid winning on a heavy track at Newcastle before failing on good ground last time. Entitled to another chance. TIME FOR VICTORY (1) and BAIYKA (6) are worth thought.
