Racing & Sports expert selections.

RACE 1 - Former Victorian galloper GALATH (5) was disappointing in his first run for the new stable but improved sharply to finish a close-up second at Roma last time out. Will be ready to peak now third-up from the spell and is sure to find this much easier than what he faced down south. Rates the testing material. FULL OF EURO (2) has had a few chances but has hit the top-four at his past eight efforts and has placed four of six around this circuit. Looms as the main danger. BRISKET (6) has placed at her past couple and looks to be working up to a maiden victory. Top-three conveyance. FIELD MASTER (4) strips fitter second-up from the spell and gets 3kg off from the inside barrier. Ticks a few boxes. MISHANI OUTLAW (3) rounds out the selections.

RACE 2 - BELLO BELLO (9) has a handy record around this circuit with a win and two seconds from just three attempts and gets in well at the weights with the 3kg claim. Hard to knock mares in form and should be going very close to getting the chocolates. HERE HE LOOMS (1) loves this track and trip with three wins and two runner-up finishes from just five starts and is drawn to get a cosy run in transit from gate two. Sure to be right there when the whips are cracking. BADGE (3) has hit a purple patch of form of late and is racing with a lot of confidence. Has to be included in calculations. DIVINE COURAGE (7) has hit the top-five in six of his past seven outings and is another to get some weight relief. In the mix. DESERT STAR (4) best of the rest in a competitive affair.

RACE 3 - DEHORNED UNICORN (2) looked good winning over this course and distance when having his first run for the new yard before just running into one better at Toowoomba at the latest effort. Strips fitter third-up from the break and gets plenty of weight relief with the 3kg claim. Rates the testing material. It's hard to knock the form of DAICOS (1) who has hit the quinella spot at his past seven efforts. Grows a leg for hoop Missen and should be right there at the business end again. The well-related PALAZZO SPIRIT (4) (half to Listed winner and G3 placed Catoggio) is a bit hit or miss but has won three of his past four and looks a must for the multiples. POLE POSITION (9) resumes here for the new barn and any market support must be noted. CHIEF MONDO (7) is better than the recent run suggests and can bounce back with the help of the inside marble.

RACE 4 - BLUE TONGUE (1) kicks off for the new stable here but will find this task much easier than NSW efforts when last in work. Gets 3kg off with the claim and a strong first-up showing would not surprise. The penny has dropped for EXOLENT CHOICE (5) who has strung back-to-back wins together this campaign and is racing high on confidence now. Big chance to bring up the hat-trick. IDHANA (7) is a last-start winner who has placed over this track and trip and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Worth serious consideration. GREYLIST (6) loves this sprint trip with three wins and two seconds from just six starts and has genuine top-three aspirations on best form. BONNET ROUGE (9) next in line while fresh.

RACE 5 - ISHOTTHEDEPUTY (2) got the job done around this circuit at the latest effort and winning rider Missen stays in the irons. Only needs some luck navigating from the sticky draw to be playing a major role in the outcome. CROWN REACH (3) is a consistent conveyance who has hit the top-four in nine of his past ten starts. Top-three credentials if he brings his A-game. THE HACKNEYDIAMOND (7) was a touch plain last time out but go on the solid Emerald win two back. Certainly worth another chance. TRAPEZE FLYER (8) has placed two from two at this track and is a last-start winner who shouldn't be slept on.

RACE 6 - HARBOUR GOLD (6) is racing in a rich vein of form with three wins from his past four outings with apprentice hoop Palmer being on board for two of those victories. Again gets the benefit of his 3kg claim and should give backers a great sight up on speed. FINE SHOT (5) loves this six-furlong journey with three wins and four placings from nine attempts and should find this assignment easier than recent efforts. Respect any push in betting. MOMACK (1) is an honest commodity who has hit the frame in ten of his past 11 efforts and is usually thereabouts. Top-three candidate again. BANGERS AND MAYO (11) hasn't been too far off them this campaign and may earn some minor money. HURTLE (2) best of the rest.

RACE 7 - HUMOUR ME (9) is a very consistent commodity who has placed two from two here around this circuit since joining the new stable and will be ready to peak now third-up from the break. Doesn't know how to run a bad race and the extra furlong here should suit. Will be right there when the judge calls a halt. NSW-based galloper TWILIGHT ROCK (8) doesn't win out of turn but has been right there in recent outings and may have found his right race in this contest. Gets 3kg off from the inside alley and rates a leading contender in this line-up. GROWL (2) has hit the top-five at his past 12 efforts and is another to get some weight relief. In the mix. BALDASSARE (1) was a touch plain last time out but the form prior was good enough for a race of this nature. Worth another chance. FINAL MISSION (15) bext of the rest.
