Racing & Sports expert selections.
RACE 1 - MOLLY'S MY PAL (4) got the job done last start at this track and trip with a 0.4L victory 11 days ago. That was her first try at this trip and the inside barrier is a big tick once again. She only rises 1kg today, and if she can run up to her most recent figures, she can repeat the dose. NORMA STARS (5) was beaten a length here last start at this track and trip and looks a step closer to ending her winning drought. She'll need some luck from the wide draw, but she rates highly on recent figures and she finds a very suitable race. SIROTA (3) will find this a little easier than recent efforts. He was beaten a long way last start at Belmont, but the form out of that race has been solid. Back in trip is no issue and he can run a much-improved race. TUSCAN HOLIDAY (6) is better than he showed last time out and can bounce back to form.
RACE 2 - JOLLY LACE (3) was far too good over this course and distance last time out, bolting away to win by 3.5L. She was right in the market there and he looks well placed in this event once again. May need some luck from the draw, but if it comes her way, she can get the job done once again. SIDE SHOW (4) won two back over the mile at Belmont before a disappointing run last start at Ascot. This is much easier than what he faced last start and this looks to set up beautifully for him. Can bounce back to winning ways in what looks a suitable race. HOLDOUT (1) was only 3.7L at this course and distance 11 days ago, finishing behind Jolly Lace. He meets that runner better at the weights with Rocky Cheung's claim, and he'll be hard to run down. HEAPS OF MOOLAH (7) won impressively here two back before a 1.9L defeat most recently. Back to the scene of the crime now, and he can put his best foot forward.
RACE 3 - ENDLESS JOY (4) is racing in good order this campaign and has gone to another level since joining the new barn. He has just missed his past couple by narrow margins and has been favourite in all 3 runs this campaign. Knocking on the door, and can shed the maiden tag this time. BATTLE ON BATTLER (1) was strong at Albany at the start of the campaign before a disappointing run at Pinjarra most recently. Can handle the step up in trip and should be hard to run down from the front. ICANDOIT ONMYOWN (10) steps up to this trip for the first time and is open to plenty of improvement. The wide draw is a niggle, but she has plenty of upside and can relish the rise in distance. RIDER ON A STORM (3) will find this a little easier than recent efforts and he may be suited by the rise in trip. Can be in the finish. GREAT DEAL (2) hasn't been far away at Albany in recent effort,s and he has claims.
RACE 4 - GINGERIFFIC (10) is a 2YO taking on the older horses today following a solid effort 22 days ago. The form out of that race has been great and the blinkers go on first time. Draws the inside barrier and looks well placed. Faithfull remains in the saddle, and she can land the knockout blow. SAUCISSON (3) got a long way back on debut but rallied home strongly to be 1.8L off the winner on debut. The better draw today should help his chances and he'll be better for the debut run. Should be better for the debut run, and he can put his best foot forward. MANTA RAY BAY (2) is better than he showed last start when beaten 4.9L on the Scarpside at Pinjarra. He was good here two starts ago and while the wide draw is a niggle and Cooper is in form. Expected to be in the finish. FAVOURED SON (5) is better than he showed last start and can sit close in the run. Can be thereabouts. HE'SNOTALLTHERE (1) won a recent trial in readiness for this and he won't be far away.
RACE 5 - QUEEN OF HAWKS (8) has started this campaign in good order, beaten 1.5L at Ascot most recently after a narrow defeat at Belmont first-up. Looks set to go to another level now third-up and things look to set up nicely for her today. Can return to winning ways with Faithfull in the saddle. OSCAR CHARLIE (1) was very good two back when sitting on the speed and winning before getting too far back last start and finishing 1.9L off the winner. Suspect they'll be further forward this time, despite the wide draw and he'll make his presence felt from up on the speed. GOOD VIBES (3) got the job done last start over this course and distance to capitalise on a good run of recent form. Cheung remains in the saddle, claiming 3kgs and the inside barrier is a big tick. Going well and deserves plenty of respect. TEABISCUIT (4) can cross and lead from out wide and give a bold sight from the front. ELSA'S PRIDE (7) won well last start and has to be included.
RACE 6 - PRETTY DEVINE (6) can be prominent from the barrier and has gone under narrowly her past few assignments, her last two in similar grade. He'll find this easier than his latest effort, where she was only gunned down lat,e and if she can hold her form, she'll be hard to run down. TOO MUCH TALK (2) disappointed last start in a CL5 at Pinjarra when sitting on the speed and fading late in the race. The form out of that has been solid and he drops back to 1190m today. Should appreciate the good barrier today and he can make his presence felt. SPEED BUBBLE (1) is in good touch, missing out over this course and distance most recently with a 2.7L defeat. His two runs prior were superb and the wide draw doesn't hurt him. Can be storming over the top once again. PLAYBALL (9) can improve with the run under his belt and the inside barrier suits. Can improve sharply. LOOKS (7) has speed and will be tough to run down from the front.
RACE 7 - CHERYL'S SHOUT (5) joined the new stable last start and was too good, winning by 1.2L over this course and distance to shed the maiden tag. He was favourite there and she was far too good. Looks to set up similarly this time around and he can repeat the dose. PAVLIANI (10) was very good fresh before a disappointing run on the Scarpside at Pinjarra most recently. This is much easier than what he faced there and Galati hops back in the saddle now. Can put himself in a handy position and get the job done. HERE NO CASH (2) was solid fresh first-up at Collie last campaign and was sound throughout last campaign. The wide draw is a niggle, but there's a host of gear changes as he joins the new stable. Can put his best foot forward. CHEROKEE MISS (1) was solid first-up at this track and trip at 30-1 and deserves respect. WORK HOME FRONT (4) is racing in good order and should be at her peak now. Ticks a few boxes.
