Racing & Sports expert selections.

RACE 1 - GAYLORD (1) lightly raced gelding held in high regard by the stable, resuming. Last produced sixteen months ago when a fading sixth over 1400m at Randwick Kensington. Given the two searching trials for this and expected to play a leading role. ROCK ON ANGEL (8) another resuming from a lengthy break and now in the Stephen Lee yard. Battled on debut when third over 1000m at the Sunshine Coast. Fitted with the two trials and gets her chance with leading rider booked from the inside draw. TORQUE TI AMO (11) resuming after a lengthy break. Kept safe in betting on debut when sixth over this track and trip last September. Well placed with the claim and the two solid trials. Top three player. SIVO (18) comes here with race experience on her side from the good gate. Had no luck last start and sure to be about the money today with the tongue-tie on. SOURCES LINK (10) failed to fire in five starts in Victoria and resumes for the John Shelton yard. Back without a trial and keep safe.

RACE 2 - BEYOND MY KEN (5) finally drawn a good gated third up and ready to salute with a host of gear changes. Covered plenty of ground in the run before fading late when seventh to Solitario over 1200m at Scone. Senior rider booked and will prove hard to hold out. ANOTHER WISH (15) trained locally and primed for this deep into his prep. Blinkers go on after failing to see the 1415m out when sixth at Coffs Harbour. Best form is over this trip and will be attacking the line late. STAR AMBITION (2) underrated gelding resuming with a handy fresh record. Lone victory came at this trip and will figure prominently with the two excellent trial wins. MOFEED (4) returned from a lengthy break with a commanding on pace win over 1000m at Scone. Ash Morgan sticks and can go on with the job. BETHSHEBA (8) is at her peak for this and not to be overlooked from the low draw.

RACE 3 - SAWMILL (11) improving filly with her hoof on the till. Drawn out for this after hitting the line strongly when second over 1425m at Moruya. Can overcome the wide draw and will need a good steer from Aaron Bullock. HERALD ANGEL (6) impressed in two career starts and a win looks imminent. Slow into stride before closing with a sound third over 1200m at Murwillumbah. Has upside and is among the leading chances. PIEDI VELOCI (3) ready for this trip now after gripping on late when second over 1315m at Coffs Harbour. Regular rider sticks in a winnable race. ANOTHER PEACH (4) five-start maiden due for a change of luck. Strips fitter after going under narrowly when second over 1200m at Mudgee. Key jockey change and not to be underestimated. ULTIMATE REIGN (13) thirty-five start maiden desperately close to that elusive maiden victory. One for the exotics.

RACE 4 - AYE AYE SKIPPER (8) tough gelding who always gives his all. Drops further in weight from the handy gate after sticking on gamely when second over 1215m at Coffs Harbour. Proven at this track and will give them something to catch. SAMMY CONQUERS ALL (1) doesn't get the same map favours here after proving too good for Aye Aye Skipper when saluting over 1215m at Coffs Harbour. At his top and sure to be thereabouts again. MONTE MAXIMUS (3) will find this a much easier test after catching the eye late when fifth in a Highway over the 1500m at Rosehill. Will appreciate the claim and attack the line late. Goes close. TALANA (6) holding his form in this company and not a bad effort when fourth over 1600m at Gosford. Maps well and stays in the mix. ALL TOO ROSEY (11) drops further in weight and recent figures are good enough to see her take a hand in the finish.

RACE 5 - SO YOU READY (4) progressive gelding who doesn't have to improve much to take this out. Covered ground in the run and closed strongly when an unlucky second over 2200m at Scone. Gets a better run today and looks too good for these. FULMEN FILOU (3) proven at this course and distance and has impressed with his three runs for the new yard. Back in trip from the sticky gate when a gritty second over 1812m at Port Macquarie. Went under narrowly here, two back and looks the main danger. CAPTAIN GOOD VIBES (2) comes down from the Gold Coast with a handy record at this trip. Senior rider engaged and likely to roll forward. Each way. BRIGHT THE SUN (8) improving filly getting out to her right distance range. Strong through the line when second over 2150m at Toowoomba. Will need things to go her way from the gate. BOLD SPLENDOR (5) is the best of the rest as she finds form over this trip.

RACE 6 - Solid race with several leading chances. BOYS NIGHT OUT (8) is in top form, and progressing quickly through his grades. Only has to overcome this sticky gate to play a leading role after scoring a tough nose win over 1666m at Ipswich. Winning rider sticks and gets a nice drop in weight. CRANKY HARRY (5) another from the Dunn yard ready to peak fourth up. Up in class again when a fading eleventh in the LR Tatt's Mile over 1600m at Eagle Farm. Value prospect. DEMON DARB (6) kept fresh and his best figures are over the mile. Never happy on the firmer surface at WFA when a poor seventh in the LR Wayne Wilson Mile at Eagle Farm. Assess on his good win two back at Eagle Farm. Goes close with the map favours. HEADLEY GRANGE (1) undefeated in two runs back and going quickly through his grades. Gets an awkward set up here after defeating a strong field in the LR Civic Stakes at Randwick over 1400m. Proven at the trip and will need everything to go right. CABOCHE (4) has claims.

RACE 7 - SAXINOUE (8) anchored with the 60kg at latest when a tough on pace third over 1550m at Murwillumbah in a weaker contest. Goes well here and shapes as a leading prospect despite the rise in grade. Each way. CARACORON (13) closed strongly over the unsuitable trip first up when an eye catching seventh over 1350m at Doomben. Has a handy second up record and can race closer to the speed. Expecting a strong run. TO BE FRANK (3) starting to hit his straps and well placed over the mile. Rounded them up late when a narrow winner over 1400m at Tamworth. Winning rider sticks and looks a genuine player. SILENT CALL (10) lightly raced Calyx gelding who got off the mark at start three with a dominant 5 len victory over 1550m at Murwillumbah. Don't underestimate from the wide gate. VIADELAMORE (6) comes back a couple of levels after chipping away late when sixth over 2500m at Ipswich. One for the exotics.
