Winner5. HozumiSP $2.50
★ Top pick7th
1Albert Palais

Our price $3.20 · SP $2.60 · Nash Rawiller

The one to beat. Rawiller is a significant booking for a stable he rides 21% for, and the horse maps to sit handy in a race where on-pace runners dominate. Concerns are the 58kg top weight and an awkward enough gate, but his class should prevail.

2nd pick5th

11Hello G'day

Our price $9.00

Improving filly who was beaten a nose at Taree last start and gets a lovely run from gate three, likely settling fourth or fifth.

Value pick4th
4Ancestral

Our price $9.50 · SP $16.00 · Chad Schofield

The value of the race. This Waller mare produced a big run at Hawkesbury last start over this trip, showing winning-standard form when second after a quiet debut.

Winner6. SlanderSP $1.75
★ Top pickWon
6Slander

Our price $2.40 · SP $1.75 · Ashley Morgan

The worry is gate 11 in a race with three speedsters, but he has the early dash to cross them and the class to overcome it. The one to beat.

2nd pick6th
1Coco Dior

Our price $5.00 · SP $5.50 · Jean Van Overmeire

Consistent mare who has placed five times from six starts, including a couple of smart seconds at Kembla Grange. She is drawn perfectly in gate 1 and the hot speed up front should bring her closing style right into it. The drop from 1400-1500m to 1150m is the query, but she looked sharp winning a recent trial here. Place player.

3rd pick5th
5Dwight

Our price $11.00 · SP $17.00 · Rory Hutchings

On-pace gelding who drops back to a sharper 1150m, a trip that should suit after tiring over 1350m. He maps to sit handy and the track's preference for horses on the speed gives him a genuine map edge. The concern is that he contests the lead with two others, so he may have to work.

Value pick10th
4Star Of Indigo

Our price $9.00 · SP $21.00 · Lee Magorrian

The value runner. She closes hard and the hot tempo should suit her, though she is drawn wide in 13 and rises to 1150m for the first time. Each-way.

Winner11. Aladdin's GirlSP $5.50
★ Top pick6th
4Satono's Shout

Our price $4.50 · SP $3.90 · Siena Grima

Satono's Shout is the clear class runner, having been competitive in city two-year-old Open company in Victoria, and his best runs there would win this comfortably. Dropping into a country maiden is a big relief and Waller has him fit off a nice trial. The queries are that all his race form is on heavy ground and he wears a lugging bit for the first time. He settles handy, so he must handle the likely hot early tempo.

2nd pick2nd
6I Am Dynasty

Our price $8.00 · SP $3.50 · Chad Schofield

A well-bred colt by I Am Invincible out of G1 winner Arcadia Queen, first-up for Brad Widdup with a winning Rosehill trial and a close second at Hawkesbury behind him. Drawn ideally in gate four, which suits this track's inside bias, and Chad Schofield rides with a strong record for the stable and at the venue. Debutants are hard to line up, but he is the pick of the unraced brigade and each-way is the sensible play.

3rd pick7th
16Adaptation

Our price $9.00 · SP $26.00 · Keagan Latham

Adaptation is the model of consistency in a race full of unknowns: his recent runs have him never far from the winner, and earlier placings at this level show he belongs. He maps to settle third and race on the pace, a plus at this track, and Keagan Latham has a strong record at the venue.

Value pickScratched
1River Jordan

Our price $11.00

The value runner. Second-up with blinkers added, he has improvement to come.

6Iron Fury

Our price $5.50 · SP $7.50 · Ashley Morgan

The most dependable recent form in the race. Now dropping out of BM64 company, drawn ideally in gate three, and with a hot tempo expected up front, he looks set to finish over the top.

2nd pick2nd
13Vittozzi

Our price $5.50 · SP $4.00 · Regan Bayliss

An improving mare who led and was only run down late when second over 1200m in a Class 1 at Kembla last start. Lightly weighted at 55kg and well drawn in gate two, she has the tactical speed to take up a handy spot even with the early pressure, and she looks well placed at this trip.

3rd pick4th
10Bang On Time

Our price $4.50 · SP $5.50 · Chad Schofield

She won her maiden smartly and then closed hard for fourth over 1300m at Kembla last time. With three leaders likely to burn each other out, her powerful finish could be decisive, though she gives away a start and is yet to prove herself at this level.

Value pick3rd
9The Pacific

Our price $9.50 · SP $14.00 · Winona Costin

He was a solid second over 1000m at Kembla two starts back and was held up when fifth at Wyong last time.

★ Top pickWon
12Beautiful You

Our price $5.50 · SP $10.00 · Mollie Fitzgerald

Last-start maiden winner at Canberra over 1400m who led and beat the clock better than anything else in this field. Drawn the inside gate as the likely leader, she maps ideally at a track where on-pace runners and low draws dominate. The knock is class and surface: both runs have come on soft going and she steps up sharply.

2nd pick10th
6Spill It

Our price $5.00 · SP $7.00 · James McDonald

Drawn to save ground from gate three, but he is a get-back type with no form on a good surface and no Australian form to assess.

3rd pick11th
11Yvonne's Joy

Our price $8.00 · SP $9.00 · Dylan Gibbons

Drawn nicely in gate four with an in-form jockey who rides this stable well and is often among the winners. Rising in class and yet to place on a good track, but she is consistent and maps to get the right run.

Value pick6th
5Zonkstar

Our price $10.00 · SP $14.00 · Jess Taylor

4Glastonbury Girl

Our price $3.30 · SP $1.65 · Zac Lloyd

In-form mare with the best winning record here, having saluted three times from nine and placed in three more. Her recent runs have plenty of merit and she has been winding up strongly at the finish. The query is that every win has come on soft ground and she is yet to score in three good-track starts, plus she gets back from a wide gate. Still the one to beat.

2nd pick3rd
11Beverly Hills

Our price $4.20 · SP $5.00 · James McDonald

Improving Waller mare who maps ideally from the inside gate, a big plus at this track where the inside draws and handy runners are favoured. She ran a close second last start and should settle in the leading division.

3rd pick5th
1Satness

Our price $15.00 · SP $13.00 · Deon Le Roux

Experienced campaigner dropping out of city class and a six-time winner on good ground, which he gets here. He rolls forward and settles handy, a style that suits this circuit, and he has been racing honestly without luck. The concerns are a wide gate and a hot tempo with two leaders engaged, which could leave him chasing late.

Value pick4th
3Laurel Hill

Our price $16.00 · SP $21.00 · Claire Ramsbotham

Handles good ground and is well drawn in gate two, so she can settle closer than usual.

5Lucand Magic

Our price $2.80 · SP $2.30 · Regan Bayliss

The clear form pick and the one to beat. He led throughout to win his maiden at Wyong by a wide margin and kept finding to the line, which is exactly the profile that suits a slow-tempo 1150m at this track. Drawn the inside gate with natural speed, he should land in the box seat behind the leader.

2nd pickWon
12Punxsutawney Phil

Our price $4.00 · SP $2.90 · Zac Lloyd

The concern is gate 8 at a track where the inside draw is a clear advantage, so he may have to work early or sit wide. Still, his maiden form reads better than most here and the stable clearly has him ready.

3rd pick4th
4St Johann

Our price $5.50 · SP $3.50 · Tyler Schiller

Produced the strongest winning performance in this field at this trip, coming from midfield to score at Beaumont over 1150m. The Hawkes team is going well and he has the ability. The problem is the draw — barrier 9 at a track where inside gates dominate and wide runners have struggled badly. He is also unraced on a good surface and steps into much stronger company. Place claims are strongest.

999th pickScratched
7Vain Temptress

Our price $8.00

A lightly raced mare who has done everything right, winning a maiden then finishing a close second in a tougher race. Both efforts read well for the grade. She settles midfield and should get the fast-run race she needs to be produced late. The step up in class is the question mark, but she is on the up and maps kindly.
