Racing & Sports expert selections.

RACE 1 - GOODNIGHT BARLOW (5) has been to this trip once and was close up and might be ready for it again now after closing off well at Orange in the latest. Hard to beat. JAMACRI (4) is lightly raced and while safely held at the mile last time she drew wide and hard to work. Look for sharp improvement. UNOWHO (3) ran a couple of nice races at 2000m back in February and will appreciate getting back up in trip after his latest at the mile. Include in the chances. IT IS TO BE (7) and HIGHBALLER (2) are in the mix.

RACE 2 - MISS MIKKI ISLE (2) is yet to miss a place in seven starts and worked home well last time at Gundagai. Draws well and should be in the finish somewhere. ZOUTEMPUS (3) was a well supported favourite when resuming with a narrow Goulburn win at this trip. Kept fresh and looks an improver. MOTORBOAT (4) led them up when fresh at Bathurst and comes back 100m here. One of the chances. SPARKLENGLITTER (7) and COMMANDORO (1) are capable of being competitive.

RACE 3 - ALOTTOSAY (7) has been placed in all three starts and just failed at Sapphire Coast on the heavy last time. Well drawn and good chance to break through. CAMMI (2) has been around the mark with four placings from 11 starts including a solid third at Nowra last time. One of the chances again. ASTERIDE (8) has had a few chances but fitter for two runs back and from the inside is open to improvement. SHOREMAN (1) and SNUBA (5) are big market watches.

RACE 4 - HERE COMES HOGAN (6) resumes with two trials under the belt and has placed in both fresh efforts in the past. Capable of featuring prominently. VEREEVA (10) worked home well at the Sapphire Coast last time and isn't far off a peak performance. DENI GAL (8) bobs up now and then and does have a good record at this track so she's capable of being in the finish. VIS I DO (2) and CAN EXPECT GREATER (3) have claims.

RACE 5 - MAGENTA SHORES (5) has run on well in both starts to date at Hawkesbury over 1300m so back to country grade she should be harder to hold out. MILLIE DE LUNE (8) is back for her second preparation with two trials under the belt and a soft draw. One to keep an eye on. VIA VARALLO (11) is racing well without winning and gets another chance here. KNIGHTS REIGN (3) and EGYPTIAN STAR (4) are worth considering.

RACE 6 - RARE MOON (9) disappointed last time on a wet track but form before that was honest enough so she could bounce back. TIGLETTA (12) is a two-year-old on debut for the Baker stable who has trialled quite well and no surprise if she's measuring up. JOYRIDER (1) has trialled strongly for a big first-up run and is one to keep vert safe. LOCKHART (11) on debut and PREORDAIN (2) first-up are worth considering.

RACE 7 - PLACID PEARL (9) ran a nice race when resuming at the end of February at Goulburn running on from well back. In the market there and fitter for a subsequent trial win. Must be respected. MORE MISCHIEF (6) will find this a bit easier than his last couple and go on handy thrid at Golburn three runs back. Likely improver. AIRLINER (11) doesn't win often but he's always running on and getting back to 1400m suits. Always an each-way chance. MEGA FIGHT (5) and HELLO JACK (4) are among the chances.
