Racing & Sports expert selections.

RACE 1 - ATLANTIC RIDGE (1) has been racing in a rich vein of form this campaign with three wins and two seconds from six outings and gets 2kg weight relief with the claim. Looks the one in this field they all have to run down. The well-related HI ZERO (3) (half to G2 winner and G1 placed Son Of Maher) got the job done over this track and trip last time out and is sure to have derived a stack of confidence from that victory. Another to get some weight off and looms as the main danger. PHILADELPHIA FREE (4) has placed four from six around this circuit and looks one for the exotics players. NASA (7) strips fitter second-up and may earn some minor money.

RACE 2 - SKYLIGHT SONG (3) has strung three wins together on the bounce and is racing with a lot of confidence. Is yet to taste defeat in two runs around this circuit and rates the testing material against this lot. RESTRICTIONS (2) got the chocolates here at the latest outing and winning hoop Youngberry sticks in the irons. Again gets the benefit of her 3kg claim and can make his presence felt in this line-up. CHASETON (4) is another last-start winner who will be rock-hard fit for this. Top-three commodity. ROCKETING TO WIN (6) rounds out the selections in a race with only a handful of chances.

RACE 3 - Former NSW galloper ROGUE 'N' READY (10) has been plying her trade in harder races down south and will find this assignment much easier. Gets in well at the weights with the claim and can break the maiden status here. ROCKBARTON RACER (9) has placed two of her past three including a runner-up finish around this circuit last time out. Rates a serious contender from the favourable draw. REGAL JUDGEMENT (5) is having his first run for the new stable and a watch on betting is advised. MARREW FANCY NANCY (7) best of the rest.

RACE 4 - The very well-related METAL BAR (1) (half to G1 winner Mighty Boss and G2 winner Coastwatch) has won five of seven over this course and distance, gets 2kg off with the claim and draws the inside marble. Ticks plenty of boxes. VICTORY BAY (2) is yet to miss the top-two in five career efforts over this track and trip and is another to get some weight relief. Shapes as a key contender. REFORMIST (4) has hit the top-four at his past five outings and is a must for the multiples. JETSKI (3) best of the rest.

RACE 5 - THE BROTHERHOOD (5) is first-up here but has a solid fresh record and has only missed a drum once in five attempts over this track and trip. A strong showing would not surprise. JUST STOP IT (3) has two wins and a placing from three starts around this circuit and gets 2kg off from the low draw. Big hope in this field. THERESABEARINTHERE (1) is a winner of ten races and cannot be underestimated. KARBORS (8) next in line from the inside alley.

RACE 6 - OUR BENEFIT (5) has hit the top-five in five of his past six outings and will be rock-hard fit for this. Gets 2kg off from the low draw and should be in this for a long way. BUTE MOVES (1) went down by the narrowest of margins last time out and strikes a very winnable contest here. Rates a genuine top-three threat if he brings his A-game. FABULOUS HOFFA (7) doesn't win out of turn but is usually thereabouts and is one for the exotics. THE EIGHTH I AM (3) has placed over this track and trip and draws the inside alley. Top-three candidate.

RACE 7 - The penny has dropped for BENEVENTO (1) who has three wins and a second from five outings this campaign, with them all coming around this circuit. Gets 2kg off from a low draw and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. REVVED UP READY (2) was a touch plain last start but the two wins prior were full of merit. Can bounce right back to form against this lot. THE LAST CRUSADE (9) has filled the frame at his past five runs and may earn some minor money again. MISTER MODERATION (4) best of the rest.
