Racing & Sports expert selections.

RACE 1 - LADY OF SAVOY (11) finds it tough to break the maiden but it certainly hasn't been without trying, placing in 6/11 starts. Has gone better than her form suggests in her two runs back behind two smart maiden winners. Peaking now and will be giving herself every chance again up on speed. ROB THE BANK (4) has built nicely into this campaign and should be ready to fire fourth-up after two strong chasing efforts. Blinkers come back on and she finds the right race to break through. JANDAMI (1)is a Barbados gelding on debut for Darryl Dodson. Has shown positive signs at the trials and has Rochelle Milnes sticking from a good draw. No shock to see him make an impact. ME NAME'S HARRY (3) caught the eye here last start when knuckling down strongly late to just miss the winner. Further improvement is anticipated third-up. Deserves more respect this time.

RACE 2 - EMPRESS OF SOUL (12) was a big improver last start when racing more prominently here. Milnes sticks over the longer trip and she's a leading player. ZOUNORMOUS (10) finds it tough to knock off his first win but has shown glimpses of ability. Hot-hand hoop Opperman reuniting is a positive, with him placing at both attempts when partnering. Expect her to head straight back from the draw and be saved for the final shot at them. IRLANDAIS (3) was denied narrowly from resuming a winner at Bordertown last month when charging home from an off-midfield position. Hasn't quite been able to follow it up but deserves safe keeping. SHAMPAS (8) lacks tactical speed but has shown to possess a strong turn of foot on her day. Crowther sticking is a positive. Watch for her charging late. ICONIC JEWEL (7) next best.

RACE 3 - HATEECH (3) put the writing on the wall last start over 1400m at Murray Bridge when finally breaking through. On the quick back-up and can get the job done again. OPPORTUNE CHANCE (4) rattled home to just miss the frame last start after being 6L off the leader at the turn. Drawn kinder this time and gets in well at the weights with the 3kg claimer sticking. Only needs to hold his form to be featuring. THE TANK (1) paid his supporters in great style two back over the track and trip when shedding the maiden tag. Ran into a handier bunch last start but wasn't disgraced. This suits. LUCILLE ROSE (8) was out of her league three back at headquarters when beaten a stretch in a hot form race. Has been much better in her last two at this level. In the mix. CHARTIN (2) has good early toe and is drawn to advantage. Expect him to give a bold sight over a winning track and trip.

RACE 4 - FIRST MAID (8) caught the eye fresh when finishing with a head of steam into sixth, only beaten 1.5L. Is sure to have come on with that run under her and is a lightly raced mare who has a lot more to offer. Expect her to be climbing over their backs at the business end. PRESS EXPRESS (1) had been knocking on the door for quite some time before finally breaking through last start. Has her share of ability and is drawn sweetly under the big weight. Every chance to repeat the dose. PURFECT LINE (6) has returned in good order this prep and finds another suitable contest over a winning track and trip. Wide alley only knock. THE GOLDEN FIST (2) returns from a short break and has had a yard switch during the break, moving from R & C Jolly's to Garret Lynch. Showed good signs when fresh last campaign but tailed off his form when tackling tougher opposition. Keeping safe. CARIBBEAN BREEZE (7) lengthened nicely to get the job done at Oakbank last start. Strips fitter and deserves respect.

RACE 5 - RED ROOF (6) didn't have much go her way here last start but still nearly pulled it out of the fire when rattling home up the fence to just miss in a blanket finish. Been rock-solid of late and only needs to hold her form to take some beating. ALPINE BEAU (4) was a barnstorming winner two back at Oakbank and then came with another strong run home last start here when finishing alongside Red Roof. Hard to knock. SALUTE THE STARS (5) beat home the top two by the barest of margins and has been so consistent this campaign. No reason he won't be right there again. PLAISIR (13) hasn't won for a long time but did catch the eye last start at Oakbank. 3-time winner at this trip, so watch for him running on late. GOT AN INSPIRATION (1) next best.

RACE 6 - ALFANO (6) flew home to just miss fresh when resuming over this track and trip in a hot form race. Kept fresh with a month between runs and is well-placed to land a winning blow. LAPILLI (13) drops back to a preferred sprinting trip off 44-day freshen and will appreciate the drop in grade. Toeroek reuniting is a positive and it's worth noting the application of blinkers first time. Expecting a sharp bounce back. DAMAGED (3) returns and looks to have come back in good order off the back of an Oakbank trial placing where he cruised to the line under a nice grip for Holder who sticks. Inside draw is a plus. Bold showing anticipated. SUZIDO (5) drove hard to score last start at Port Lincoln. Tougher this time but deserves respect. FLYIN' FOR US (15) wasn't far away third-up here and should be further improved. Not without his shot.

RACE 7 - WILD IMAGINATION (2) is racing in career-best form with two strong wins in his last two starts. Steps back out to a winning trip and reunites with Livesey who has tasted success aboard. She's a mare in form that can continue her winning ways. MIDNIGHT MASS (4) is yet to strike through this campaign but has been knocking on the door, finding one better in his last four. Proved that he can run the trip last start and should get all the favours again from another good draw. Main danger. NASHO (6) is yet to be tested at this trip but is another in-form runner and will give a bold sight. HASTA LA WAR (1) is a grand old galloper resuming for Sue Murphy off a 337-day break. Suspect he will need the run but he deserves respect. MAGNETIC EDGE (5) has turned back the clock this nine-year-old and should have them wondering late.

RACE 8 - SUPER ALANA (11) has returned in great order this campaign. Hasn't done much wrong in her last two when sent forward, just finding a few handier ones. Shoulders hot form lines and is drawn to advantage. Expect her to prove very tough reel in. SHOOTOOSE (1) has mixed his form this campaign but his best efforts measure up. Lugs the big weight but is still right in the mix. CAPTAIN JOOLIAN (4) had excuses last start when held up at a crucial stage when shooting for the hat-trick. Goes well over the trip and gets the 3kg claimer on to aid at the weights. Genuine threat. MILO (7) was a determined winner second-up at Mornington but hasn't quite been able to go on with it. Tough draw but deserves safekeeping. I'M KENNY (13) next best.
