Racing & Sports expert selections.

RACE 1 - BIG PLAYER (1) has been plainer his last two but the form this trip prior reads well. The in-form Fiore rides today and he rates well in this lineup. MANGANUI (2) placed here over a mile in a nice return to form. Has to drop back to a sprint but has been kept on the fresh side. Will get every chance from an inside gate. SHE IS GOD (10) was good at Bunbury on debut and again at Belmont first-up. He was cruelled by a wide gate last time and fitter she can get back on track. CHOIXRISKA (4) came from the back in the Big Player race beaten 2L. She finally draws a low gate and consider.

RACE 2 - PIRATE'S ALLEY (3) wins this at best and peaks off a close-up placing over 1400m. It was a tough effort from a wide barrier. Maps well and keeps the 2kg claim. Stablemate DREAM BROOK (7) resumes and switched yards. Just missed at Pinjarra before the spell. She has placed fresh and will go close if presented on song. BOLTCO JACK (2) was tracking well before racing keen at Northam. The shorter sprint should suit but he needs a good ride from the outside barrier. AUBREY'S STAR (10) peaks and is a likely improver.

RACE 3 - ZING TO WIN (6) went back to back winning a CL2 by 6.5L over 1200m. Has the rail today and has some weight relief. He can go on with it. PARORI (4) is knocking on the door. Led narrowly beaten this grade last time and maps for a soft run. A winning hope briefly freshened. EEVALINA (3) peaks and is still well shy of her best. Finds easier class and she's also a chance. TOTAL LOCKDOWN (5) is busting to win and also has claims.

RACE 4 - Competitive. KINGS CALL (3) found one much too good off a wide gate but the provincial form prior stacks up for this. The in-form hoop sticks and this is winnable. ABSOLUTE PLUM (4) won the Maiden as expected and can build on that. Fiore sticks with the above but he can't be ruled out. SHEZGOTTHALOT (9) is travelling better than the form line suggests. She's been racing in better company. MORE THAN ENUFF (1) deserved the win over 1760m and comes back 360m for this. This and the wide gate are the niggles but she deserves consideration.

RACE 5 - DEBONNAIRE (3) brings a string of wins the latest here this grade. Was heavily bet again and carries just 1.5kg more. He can go on with the job. STARRING KNIGHT (7) has been racing at Belmont and is much better suited. Peaks and has weight relief. The rails gate is there to use. BAALBEK (4) disappointed at Belmont but his effort there prior stacks up. Has been kept on the fresh side and is a hope. MUNGO JERRY (8) has been racing well without winning. Maps well and has been freshened. Keep onside.

RACE 6 - NO WHISPERING (1) spiked his figures winning this grade and then just missed following improving again. Has the hady 2kg claim and the speed to clear the awkward barrier. He can bounce back. KHALIDA (7) led and won a CL2 by a space. She will be fitter and keeps getting better. She also draws out but is quick and should skip across okay. A danger. SECRET ATTRACTION (6) comes back in distance and will find this easier than Belmont. Rates well and has to be kept on side. ONEMOREFORLEO (4) just missed here last time from a wide gate and will need a good ride again. In the mix.

RACE 7 - MANHATTAN STRIP (3) went close at Northam first up and then went back and disappointed as favourite (vet cleared). He will be fitter again and is proven third-up. Suited and will go close. UNCOMPROMISED (2) is also third-up and is busting to win. Draws wide but is a winning hope with average luck in the run. HIGH PRESSURE (5) led and placed here in stronger. Carries 5kg more but he will ride the speed and is sure to give a sight. DANCE OF THUNDER (4) gets the in-form hoop for the apprentice and is ready to win again. Keep onside as well.

RACE 8 - The Peter Fernie yard holds the aces. DONT WAIT FOR LUCK (3) switched to the Fernie yard and resumed with a big heavily-bet Maiden win. He was expected to win again after and disappointed. Prepared to forgive that and he's got plenty up his sleeve. Draws awkwardly but the in-form hoop sticks. SECRET STYLE (9) switched to the same yard and led and belted the Maidens by 3.6L first-up as a short-priced favourite. Fitter and looks capable of taking the next step. LUCKY LILY (6) didn't finish it off last time but the Bunbury efforts prior read well. Maps well with a 2kg claim and she's a player. DUO MUSO (1) is racing well and has a 2kg claim today. Also maps well and she also has claims.
