Race 1 - 1:30PM THE GONG AMBASSADOR MIKAYLA CHILBY F&M MAIDEN HCP (1300M)

5. LADY RESOLUTE - She was also an Acceptor for the Wyong Sunday Meeting but this Race was chosen as her best target. She led throughout in the latest of two recent Trials and she's ready to make her presence felt at her first start. 3. GLAMOUR MAGIC - She had Trialed twice at her Warwick Farm home base before she paid too high a price for drawing wide out when she was resuming last start at Wyong. She can be expected to greatly appreciate a step up from 1100m. 7. ACKNOWLEDGE ME - Winkers were added to her Gear before she stepped up to 1400m here at home on the Course Proper when she was produced second up. Her front-running effort was solid and a switch back to 1300m can now be a plus. 8. MACHRIHANISH - She was withdrawn at Warwick Farm last Wednesday with this Race preferred. Blinkers were added to her Gear before she did all but win here on the Course Proper last start and she should maintain her form today.

Race 2 - 2:05PM ILLAWARRA PRODUCTION SERVICES CG&E MAIDEN HANDICAP (1300M)

2. RAIN DELAY - After striking trouble, he was too good on debut at Rosehill for all bar the leader/winner in a Race that's produced strong from. Only the leader/winner then beat him home at Newcastle and he is well placed here. 12. NONNO'S POWER - This Warwick Farm trained four-year-old had Trialed twice in town before he finished unplaced over this distance first up at Hawkesbury. He did stick to his task after conceding too great a start. He is Race-fitter now. 8. SMASHING MACHINE - he was spelled after his home based Warwick Farm Trial back in June. He has since Trialed last month at Hawkesbury and then again on his home track. He is now more than ready to attempt this distance at his first start. 5. CAPTAIN PEACOCK - He had Trialed here at his home base on this track before he was produced first up on the Course Proper here three weeks ago. His unplaced effort was better than it appears on paper in a Race that wasn't run to suit.

Race 3 - 2:40PM GONG AMBASSADOR DANIEL GRIDA MIDWAY MAIDEN PLATE (1150M)

8. VERANDERS - An awkward getaway and subsequent traffic problems did nothing to aid his cause when he was produced over only 1000m on debut last start at Wyong. He is much better suited today on his home Track. 4. ALPHA SORT - He was spelled after he Trialed on this Track in July. After two much more recent Trials, he handed in an honest effort on debut at Hawkesbury in a Race that wasn't run to suit him. He now has scope to improve here at home. 3. ALBATROSS - He had Trialed twice in October before making his debut here at his home base on the Course Proper eleven days ago. He caused his own problems in transit with a slow getaway but natural improvement can now be made. 5. DUBIOUS EXPRESS - Two Trials at home (Rosehill) preceded his first up attempt last run/Hawkesbury when he struck trouble in the same Race that involved Alpha Sort. He will present Race-fitter today with that effort behind him.

Race 4 - 3:15PM IZZY'S GIFT SUPER MAIDEN HANDICAP (1450 METRES)

10. INFINITE SKY - Two Trials at her Rosehill home base prepared her for a Newcastle first up attempt over 1300m when she performed above Market Place expectations in a Race that wasn't run to suit. She now has scope to further improve. 1. SCOOP THE POOL - He had Trialed twice in town before he was presented first up within his distance range at Nowra when there were excuses for a defeat at short odds. He's been kept fresh since and he's raced well fresh before! 5. CADMEAN - He has struck trouble at both Newcastle starts to date and he should not be harshly judged for either unplaced effort. 2. LANDING GEAR - He presents for the third time in his first campaign after competing twice over 1300m. He's ready to attempt this trip.

Race 5 - 3:50PM GONG AMBASSADOR TOMMY BERRY CLASS 1 HANDICAP (1450 METRES)

2. EYNESBURY - He was also an Acceptor for the Wyong Meeting tomorrow but instead he will resume in this Race after Trialing twice in town. He kept trying after he struck trouble first up at Canterbury last campaign and he's better suited today. 1. CHAPPY - Gear Changes have been made with a Tongue Tie replacing Blinkers this afternoon. He presents third up after making improvement last start within this distance range at Hawkesbury. He has scope to further improve third up. 8. COCO DIOR - This Kembla Grange trained mare returns to her home base after handing in a gallant effort at Nowra when Blinkers were added to her Gear. She endured a tough run in transit bit she refused to shirk her task. 3. STRIKE A POSE - After Trialing twice at his Warwick Farm home base, he resumed last start at Hawkesbury with a Gear Change made (Blinkers Off). He kept responding to out-finish the leader/second placegetter and he will now be Race-fitter.

Race 6 - 4:30PM YOUR NEXT STOP WESTS ILLAWARRA PROV. BM64 HANDICAP (1400M)

3. TEQUISODA - He is resuming after Trialiing recently at home (Hawkesbury) and then at Rosehill. He has been presented here once. On that day he was first up over this distance when the Race that he won produced strong subsequent form. 2. CAP D'AIL - He's based here and he will be competing on the Illawarra Grange Track for the first time. He was too good for all except the Favourite, Northern Eyes on the Course Proper last start and there were excuses on the day! 1. SABI STORM - He was produced second up in his first preparation since a Stable Change when a Change of Tactics produced the right result at Newcastle with Matt Kirk aboard for the first time. THis step up from 1300m should not be an issue today. 4. FITZCLARENCE - He was a Dual Acceptor today with this Race chosen as his best target. He presents third up after stepping up to attempt this distance for the first time, last start at Hawkesbury. He wasn't disgraced and he's Race-fitter now.

Race 7 - 5:09PM RUTH CROUCH DIAMOND JUBILEE F&M CLASS 1 HCP (1200 METRES)

1. QUEEN'S RHAPSODY - She had Trialed twice before she resumed here on the Course Proper last start when her Beaten Margin was misleading behind Priory Park. She gained room later than some. Priory Park won again next start at Warwick Farm. 2. SACROSANCT - After Trialing twice at her Rosehill home base, she was presented first up over 1100m at Hawkesbury when her effort was full of merit in defeat. She can be expected to be even better suited over this distance second up. 6. WILD COURAGE - This lightly raced Warwick Farm trained filly performed above Market Place expectations when she won her Maiden last start at Wyong. She is not incapable of immediately taking that often elusive next step today! 8. FIREPOP - Numerous Gear Changes have been made and two recent home track Rosehill Trials have her well prepared to tackle this distance first up. Without winning, previous first up Nowra attempts have both been gallant.

Race 8 - 5:45PM THE GONG STRIKER SAM GOODMAN CG&E CLASS 1 HCP (1200 METRES)

7. GOOD'N'YOU - He was an early withdrawal from Wyong on Sunday with this Race preferred. He was beaten as Favourite by Breakout at Newcastle/Beaumont Track last start but there were excuses and Breakout won again next run. 2. MARCHON - He had Trialed twice before he was produced first up over this distance last start at Wyong when his unplaced effort was better than it appears at face value after he endured a tough run on the day. He has scope to improve. 8. CAPTIVATING TYCOON - This Rosehill trained four-year-old will be making his Illawarra Grange Track debut when he presents second up. He refused to shirk his task here on the Course Proper last start in a Race not run to suit. 6. PORTICO - He has only been presented once on the Illawarra Grange Track. The Race he won produced terrific form.
