Racing & Sports expert selections.

RACE 1 - TELLING (1) Graff colt with race experience on his side resuming. Sat on the speed when a courageous sixth to Within The Law over 1000m in the LR Inglis Nursery at Randwick on December 14. Fitted with two sharp trials and should prove too good for these. SHENANDOAH RIVER (9) Anders filly out of an I Am Invincible mare on debut for the Brett Cavanough stable. Comes here off a solid Muswellbrook trial placing. Gets her chance from the draw. DIDI DEE (4) Contributer filly from It's All For You on debut for the Buchanan yard. Had four trials over the last six months and will be running on late. LEICA QUEEN (6) two-year-old Headwater filly on debut from the Peter H Bloomfield yard. Chipped away late when third over 950m in a recent Tamworth trial. Rough place claims.

RACE 2 - CLIMATE CONTROL (7) holding his form well and a win looks imminent. Will appreciate the claim again after going under narrowly when a fighting on-pace third over 1200m at Tamworth. Back in grade and brings the right figures here. THE GREAT ARMADA (6) bounced back to form on the quick back up with a surprise 2.25 len winner over 1400m at Coonamble. Gets the 3kg claimer from the low draw and will give a ton of cheek again. RUSSIAN ZARINA (8) up in class and trip when a disappointing tenth over 1500m at Newcastle. Had excuses last time out and is better placed here. BADBOY MCCOY (9) never comfortable in the heavy (10) going when seventh over 1400m at Scone on March 21. Back on his home track and capable of figuring in the finish.

RACE 3 - SHERIFF'S STAR (6) comes here with a massive fitness edge over most of these. Struggled to run the 1400m out from the low draw when a plodding ninth over 1400m at Goulburn. Earlier efforts were sound and no shock to see him take this out. RHEGION (5) resumes and gelded over the break. Never handled the heavy (9) going when last to the smart Kerguelen over 1200m at Kembla Grange ten months ago. Fitted with two sharp trials and will need a bit of luck early from the draw. BRUTAL ELEGANCE (10) Brutal filly from a Flying Spur mare on debut for the Neasham & Archibald stable. Improved trial when second over 950m at Tamworth. Blinkers go on and gets her chance from the draw. KOWLOON PRINCESS (12) better effort at second race start when running on late to secure fifth over 1200m at Bathurst. Extra trip in her favour.

RACE 4 - Tough race with plenty of chances. MERCHANT GOLD (6) lightly raced gelding with upside. Kept fresh for this and back in trip after surging late in the soft going when third over 1400m at Eagle Farm on February 15. Fitted with an 800m tick over trial. Good enough to get over the top of these. ONYSPEED (12) beaten for early speed when up in class for an eye-catching eighth over this trip at Randwick in Highway company. Goes close. STRAAND CARE (11) sharp maiden winner two back at Scone, before covering ground in the run when a battling fourth over 900m at this track. Senior rider engaged and sure to be thereabouts again. RITZSUN (4) hard fit for this and had excuses in the heavy (10) going when third over 1100m at Scone. On the quick back up and due for a change of luck.

RACE 5 - POINT BASSE (1) consistent gelding fitter after two runs back. Away slowly and never in the contest when a disappointing twelfth over 1400m at Tamworth in the H&NW Champs on March 9. Finds an easier assignment and looks well in with the 4kg claimer. Ready to win. MISCHIEVOUS MOLLY (8) pulled out plenty on resumption when a tenacious victory over 1250m at Taree. Goes just as well second up and looks to have come back much stronger. Leading player. ROSES IMMINENTE (11) fitter now and drops in weight after attacking the line late when fourth over 1280m here. Blinkers added and senior rider engaged. Each way contender. FINGERS HUNTER (5) rewarded for her consistency when a tough on pace winner over 1600m at Tamworth. Raced with distinction in town this prep and look for her late from the awkward draw.

RACE 6 - ANNIE'S ROSE (7) having her third run for the new yard and capable of improvement from the good gate. Snagged back from the outside gate and chipped away late when sixth over 1200m at Wyong. Drops in weight and no shock to see her race a little closer to the speed. Solid each-way player. PUERTO BANUS (10) tough gelding in career best form. Anchored with the 60.5kg when an eye-catching fourth over 1100m at Gosford. Another down in the weights who will prove hard to hold out. SILVER HALO (12) indicated a win was imminent when sitting on the fast tempo before fading late when second over 1262m at Taree. Has a good record here and is capable of taking this out. RAJNISH (11) resumes after holding his own in Highway grade last time in. Fitted with the two searching trials and maps to get the gun run. Each-way.

RACE 7 - LES VAMPIRES (11) lived up to expectations second up when a fighting on pace winner over 1400m at Rosehill in fast time in BM88 grade. Can go on with it now and will prove hard to catch from the gate. PROMITTO (14) consistent gelding lugging the big weights well in Midway class. Comes here in peak form and won't know himself on the limit weight. Genuine each-way player in this tougher contest. FLYING TRAPEZE (10) stable had a throw at the stumps when a fading last in the G1 All Star Mile behind Tom Kitten at Flemington. Earlier efforts can see him return to form. WEST OF AFRICA (1) will be giving away a big start again after charging late when third in the G2 Ajax Stakes at Rosehill over 1500m last time out. Sure to be powering late. The chances don't end there.

RACE 8 - HELLCIBELL (11) speedy mare who drops in trip after putting up a valiant effort when third over 1400m at Tamworth in the H&NW Champs on March 9. Will go forward again and prove hard to hold out. CELUI (1) resumes and is now in the Richard & Will Freedman yard. Raced in much stronger company in Victoria last prep and has a solid first up record. Fitted with two sharp trials and gelded over the break. Leading player. OUTBACK RINGER (13) hard fit now and drops in weight after covering plenty of ground in the run when sixth over 1200m at Scone. Goes well this trip and will need luck from the draw. JUST IN REACH (7) nice return when coming to town for a game fourth over 1000m at Warwick Farm. Goes equally as well second up and gets map favours. Genuine contender.
