Racing & Sports expert selections.

RACE 1 - BUCKLED (1) is inching closer to a maiden win, turning in a strong performance over 1200m at Bunbury last time out. He may have felt the pinch late there and back to 1000m doesn't look an issue. Should be prominent in the run under Pike and can land the knockout blow. ZOURUN RUN (10) is on debut for the Neville Parnham stable and has shown promising signs at the trials. While Chris Parnham hasn't ridden at the trials, he hops on board for her debut today and her half-sibling has won multiple races. Can make an immediate impact. GENTLEMAN'S CODE (3) is another on debut, this gelding by Encryption for Team Casey. Brad Parnham hops on board for his debut despite not riding at the trials, and the winner of his most recent hit-out was a dominant debut winner. Trial form reads well and he won't be far away. SWEET ISSY (8) finds a nice race on debut and won't be far away. MESSINA (4) can resume on a good note.

RACE 2 - RETURN OF THE MACH (9) flew home from the tail of the field last start over 1200m, missing out by a length on the line. The form has worked out well from that event and she lands here with a much better draw and the Blinkers on first time. Expecting sharp improvement now, and that can see her coming out on top. TALKAWAY (10) was also sound first-up, coming through a strong form race over 1000m here 24 days ago. Two winners and a placegetter have come out of it from just 4 starters since. While she has drawn wide, she tends to get back in the run anyway and can storm home over the top. BLAZING GUN (7) has shown promising signs at the trials this time in work and Brad Parnham sticks from those trials. Needs a touch of luck from the draw but can put his best foot forward. ROCK THE MARKET (13) trialled sharply most recently at Belmont and the booking of CJP is a strong push for her chances. CLASSIC POETRY (8) never got into it first-up but is better than that. Can atone.

RACE 3 - SUPERFLUOUS (2) resumes today following a strong campaign last time where he was placed in Listed company. He went through to the Melvista where he wasn't disgraced, but he showed plenty of quality in defeat. He's right back in grade now and he's proven effective over this shorter trip already. Can resume on a winning note. SAXON JEWEL (10) gets Chris Parnham in the saddle today replacing the 4kg apprentice and should make her own luck up on the speed. A bit of rain about will help her chances and if she gets her own way up front, she'll take plenty of catching. FANTAXTIC (4) got a long way back and never really featured first-up at Bunbury, but it lays the foundations for a promising campaign. Up in trip is a big tick, as is the inside barrier and sharp improvement is on the cards. RANYX (1) can bring up the hat-trick without surprising, just needs to negotiate the wide barrier. KARNUP QUEEN (7) can feature if she's at her best.

RACE 4 - ART SESSION (1) was well-backed last start, jumping the $1.90 favourite and making every post a winner. His form reads well for a race of this calibre and he should be able to find the front again from a nice barrier. He continues to improve and if he runs up to his recent performance, he can go back-to-back. DIAMOND DANCER (7) just missed last start at Bunbury when just feeling the pinch late in the race. She'll be fitter for that performance and the inside barrier should help her cause as well. Can go one better. THE MIGHTY BELL (8) got the job done by 0.3L down the Pinjarra straight last start and can go to another level again third-up. She maps to get her chance and there's no reason why she can't raise the bar again third-up. THE TOP BAR (2) can feature on resumption with Pike in the saddle from a good gate. DESERT DANCING (9) was good from the back on resumption and can improve now with CJP in the irons.

RACE 5 - GLANCED (7) showed some class when out to 1400m last start, scoring comfortably after sitting on the speed throughout. CJP remains in the saddle and she should be prominent in the run yet again. Looks to have more improvement to come and she can bring up back-to-back wins. APHRODITE MAGIC (5) was far too good over 1100m here last time out and steps up to 1400m for the first time. She disappointed over 1300m two back, though Chris Parnham rides now and if she can run up to her recent effort, she'll be hard to hold out. ZOUCONI (8) missed out last start when beaten 1.1L when looking to have her chance. Fitter now however, and some gear changes should help her chances. Pike remains in the saddle and she's likely to be in the finish once again. BLUE PEPPER (6) is better than she showed first-up and up to 1400m is a big tick. Can improve. HIGHLAND FLAIR (2) bumped into one last start and won't be far away.

RACE 6 - LILLIAN (9) is a 3YO filly who has been left with too much to do her past couple, though this looks a good spot for her third-up and out to the mile. CJP remains in the saddle and she looks set to go to another level. Stable are flying at the minute and she can get back to winning ways now. GAGE ROADS (1) bounced back to form last start with a 1.1L defeat at Bunbury last start after ending up a long way back in the run. Faithfull rides now and he's back on song, he can return to winning ways up to the mile. VALDARENA (6) gets out to the mile for the first time after dropping back in trip most recently at Bunbury. She was good in a $100k race two back and she's expected to put herself into the finish once again. AMAZING CHEAT (4) is racing in good order and has to be included on recent performances. ROYAL GAP (10) will find this a little easier than recent efforts and can feature with Chris Parnham now in the saddle.

RACE 7 - SWEET SURRENDER (10) flew home from the back of the pack to win by 0.7L at Pinjarra last start over 1800m. She's a lightly-raced filly with a stack of upside and she looks well suited to the rise in trip. Drawn better this time and she can bring up back-to-back victories. BAY STREET (11) is knocking on the door following a 0.9L defeat at Pinjarra most recently. The wide draw is a niggle, though Chris Parnham hops in the saddle now and if there's some speed up front, he's sure to be flying home late in the race. GRAND RESERVE (1) comes through the same race as Bay Street and narrowly beat him home last start when sitting up on the speed. He should be prominent in the run yet again and he'll be hard to gun down the claim of ZJP. ELEGANT INDI (9) didn't get a crack at it last start and with a clearer passage this time she can get back to winning ways. DARK LOOKS (6) just missed last start and can go one better this time around despite the wide alley.
