Racing & Sports expert selections.
RACE 1 - TOKYO LADY (12) makes her debut for a new stable and she's trialled like she's ready to put in a big performance fresh. Nicely drawn and hard to beat if she runs up to it. ROMAN SCRIPT (3) has looked good at the trials winning both hitouts spaced by three months. Keep safe. SHE CONQUERS (8) ran a nice race on debut behind a handy one and resumes after two nice trial wins. Must be respected. ISLA D'AMORE (7) and WANDAYE (13) can run well fresh.
RACE 2 - SIMPLY JUST (6) led and was run down late on debut over this trip at Newcastle. Better for it and drawn to get every chance to go one better. CALIFORNIA WAVES (8) comes through the same race and tried hard to bridge the margin when third. Has to be considered a danger. STORM HEART (5) is on debut for the Waller stable and wasn't asked for any effort finishing close up in his latest trial. Keep safe. GREYT THINKER (3) and SWELTER (14) could show something first-up.
RACE 3 - BETTER BREAKOUT (8) was left flat footed at Newcastle last time before hitting the line late. Step up in trip right in his favour and looks hard to beat. . THE BEAST (1) was placed at his first two starts then up in trip at Canterbury he just battled. Back in trip and capable of improvement. LULO LINK (13) shapes as an improver on recent efforts in a weaker race. CREDITOR (15) and EROTAS (11) are worth a look.
RACE 4 - PRINCE OF SORTS (1) is a horse on the way up who led all the way for a soft win at Newcastle. Still gets in well with the claim and should be hard to run down. POWERFUL DRAGON (2) is chasing a hat-trick and gets blinkers on first time after a hard fought win at Muswellbrook. Definite chance. MAHOGANY GIRL (5) won a maiden here three runs back and two subsequent runs have been solid enough. Can't be left out of the chances. WITHOUT YOU (4) and LEANDRA (3) are the other hopes.
RACE 5 - LIKE LUKEY (6) is chasing a hat-trick after a couple of impressive country wins and should be competitive. HEIR JORDAN (4) is going well and hit the line into third in the Country Classic at Rosehill last time. Hard to leave out of the chances. JESSANDI (7) is coming off a nice win in the Narromine Cup and has to be considered some hope. NANTUCKET ISLAND (8) is next best in the small field.
RACE 6 - FIRST MISSION (3) bumped into a smart one at his second start and then led and proved too strong winning at this track a couple of weeks ago. Hard to beat again. HYPERBOLIC (6) was well supported second-up and ran right up to it scoring at Newcastle. Trained here and is a definite chance. WILD GYPSY (1) had some support when resuming at Wyong and wasn't beaten far. Can only improve and is in the mix. ELLE HUDSON (2) and GLASSOUT (5) could also show up.
RACE 7 - PERIGEAN (4) finished off the race strongly when scoring first-up at Canberra and can only be fitter for it. Drawn well again and should be hard to beat. KIRIBATI (2) disappointed at Canterbury last time but if he produces her previous effort behind a smart one at Warwick Farm. Capable of improvement. LADY SHENANIGANS (8) always runs well on his home track as he did last time out a week ago. Must be included in the chances. RUSSIAN ASSASSIN (6) has to be considered on his consistent form while ROUSSILLON (1) is a big watch first-up.
