Selections based on a heavy track

Race 1 - 1:35PM HENRY CLIVE BAR MAIDEN PLATE (1200 METRES)

6. My Proclama has only had five starts and has been placed in each of them. She resumed with a third at this track last month and only needs to run up to that to be hard to hold out for the first win in this event. 9. Cheeky Sort resumed from a spell with a third at Wyong and has drawn to get a good run here. Another bold showing is on the cards. 11. Space Cadet debuted with a second at Nowra behind a talented winner and although well beaten in that event looms as a chance again. 5. Mover And Shaker was safely held on debut at the Sapphire Coast but is worth another chance here.

How to play it: My Proclama WIN.

Race 2 - 2:10PM ITC LEGEND WAYNE HARRIS MAIDEN HANDICAP (1500 METRES)

5. Neferusobek was edged out at this track when last produced and is knocking on the door to break through with a win. 6. Nothing Finer has finished third in both runs since resuming and has claims again. 7. Pour Benn has run well in his latest two starts when placed and is not out of this. 1. Purple Haze was scratched from Newcastle on Thursday to be saved for this and has been in good form since resuming from a spell.

How to play it: Neferusobek WIN.

Race 3 - 2:45PM CACTUS IMAGING PROVINCIAL MAIDEN PLATE (1400 METRES)

14. She Can Salsa had trialled well before debuting with a third at Hawkesbury. She looks talented and this event looks well within her grasp. 7. Zougotme wasn’t beaten far at Hawkesbury last time out and can be in the thick of things again with a repeat of that. 5. Ol’ Mate Coop finished off well at the Sapphire Coast last time out and isn’t the worst here. 2. Setta Icon ran a solid second at the Sapphire Coast at his latest start and he looks to be on an upward spiral.

How to play it: She Can Salsa WIN.

Race 4 - 3:20PM JJJ RACING MIDWAY BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP (1600 METRES)

4. Sneaky Choice hit the line to get up and score at this track when last produced. There was a lot to like about that effort, and she can go on with the job. 5. Valiant Bomb led to score a strong last start Gosford win and can be in the finish again. 1. Cosmic Lad was midfield at this track when resuming and can get into the finish of this without surprising. 2. Tip Top Timing won two in a row here before having a break and is not of this.

How to play it: Sneaky Choice WIN.

Race 5 - 4:00PM BARRY VANDENBERGH KEMBLA GRANGE STAYERS CUP - BM68 (2400M)

1. Goofinator has hit his straps of late winning two in a row at Canterbury and Warwick Farm. He is up in weight for this but the distance suits and he can go on with the job. 4. Dolce Dior ran second behind Goofinator at Warwick Farm and looms as a danger to that horse again here. 5. Doradus has been racing consistently and can never be underestimated. 7. De Louviere was placed last time out behind Goofinator and Dolce Dior and that form should hold up in this event.

How to play it: Goofinator WIN.

Race 6 - 4:40PM ASSETT PROFESSIONAL SERVICES A J 'BERT' LILLYE MEMORIAL HANDICAP - BENCHMARK 94 (1200 METRES)

1. Bunker Hut had been racing consistently before winning at Doomben before being spelled. He since had two trials before resuming with a close-up third at Randwick and can go on with the job here. 2. Well Timed disappointed when resuming from a spell but a sharp improvement is on the cards. 3. Charcoals ran fifth in the same race Well Timed contested when first-up and can improve. 8. Lulumon is a handy mare that should never be taken lightly.

How to play it: Bunker Hut WIN.

Race 7 - 5:20PM PFD FOOD SERVICES KEMBLA GRANGE CLASSIC (1600 METRES)

4. Aisle Two won well at this track in two starts either side of a break and then finished second at Canterbury before hitting the line well to score a last start Rosehill victory. She has the talent to go on with the job here. 5. Long Legs has only missed a place once from five starts and comes into this after a strong trial on the back of a Warwick Farm placing. 3. Profoundly hit the line well to score at Warwick Farm when last produced and should be in the thick of things with a repeat. 1. Spicy Lu has solid form around good horses and bears close watching fresh.

How to play it: Aisle Two EACH WAY.

Race 8 - 6:00PM YALUMBA FAMILY WINEMAKERS BM64 HANDICAP (1400 METRES)

4. Extra Heights broke through to score a maiden win at Canterbury three starts ago, he has since finished fourth in two runs at Canterbury and Warwick Farm and wasn’t beaten too far in the latest of them. 5. Johnny ran home well when a last start fourth at Hawkesbury and attacked the line well in that event. He can show up again with a repeat of that. 3. Savaii won his first three starts and then resumed with a fifth at Goulburn when under pressure before the turn and never a factor. He can improve in this. 2. Barbarossa disappointed when resuming but has shown enough potential in his career to be a factor here.

How to play it: Extra Heights EACH WAY.
