Racing & Sports expert selections.

RACE 1 - DEFICIT (1) mixing his form in stronger grade and will relish Osmond's 3kg claim. Back in trip after failing to see the 2400m out when a poor 11th at Rosehill in BM78 class on September 14. Nose roll comes off and improvement is anticipated. CIREBON (12) finds a suitable race today with the 3kg claim and blinkers added. Draws to sit on the speed from the gate and he'll take plenty of catching with no weight on his back. KINGSTON CHARM (13) has been right around the mark in recent performances, though she seemingly did have her chance last time out. Out to this distance for the first time, but should get every chance once again and can put her best foot forward. FLYING BANDIT (11) flew home from a long way back last start and looks set to peak third-up.

RACE 2 - NORTH ENGLAND (5) Farnan colt from the good producer Our Belisa on debut for the Waterhouse & Bott stable. Proved too sharp in a recent Randwick Kensington trial over 850m. Well drawn and will take catching. TUSCANY (10) another from the Waterhouse & Bott yard on debut. Nice colt by Zoustar from the former top race mare Summer Sham who has in turn produced a black type winner. Has only trialled once when scoring over 850m at Randwick Kensington. J Mac sticks from the trial and he's sure to be strong late. TEMPESTUOUS (9) is a colt by Extreme Choice out of Windradyne on debut for the Waterhouse & Bott stable. Well related type who was nailed late when second in a 850m trial at Randwick Kensington. Genuine each way chance. KING KIRK (4) G Waterhouse & A Bott trained two-year-old colt by Ole Kirk out of Oxford Angel lining up for first race start. Finished off strongly when a recent trial winner over 850m at Randwick Kensington. Stays in the calculations.

RACE 3 - SCRUMPTIOUS (12) is a filly by Tassort out of Taste Of Money from the Waterhouse & Bott yard. Ran second in a slick trial over 850m in a Randwick Kensington trial on September 23. Expected to have trained on for this. BEL MERCI (3) is an Extreme Choice filly from Bel Mer on debut for the John Thompson stable. Comes here off a Randwick Kensington trial placing over 850m. Maps well and can play a leading role. VOTING RIGHTS (14) is a Snitzel filly out of a Galileo mare on debut for the Waterhouse & A Bott stable. Placed at her most recent trial over 850m at Randwick Kensington. Look for her doing her best work late. TUPAKARA (15) showed good ability at the trials coming into this and can run a bold race.

RACE 4 - SWIFTFALCON (3) smart gelding fitter after one run back and chasing his third straight victory. Adept in all conditions and rounded them up with ridiculous ease with the 61.5kg when a slick winner over 1420m at Flemington two weeks ago. Further improved and looks destined for bigger things. MEDIA WORLD (4) two runs back have been average but expecting improvement out to the mile. Will go forward from the draw and take running down. JUST PARTY (2) anchored with the big weight when sixth behind Autumn Glow first up, before improving to run fourth in the G3 Ming Dynasty over 1400m at Rosehill on September 14. Placed in the Fernhill last prep and drawn to get the right run. JOHNNY THE KID (7) Trapeze Artist colt who got off the mark at start six as favourite, when a slick on pace winner over 1550m at Randwick Kensington on September 11. Since fitted with a recent trial placing and not to be underestimated.

RACE 5 - Group 3 placegetter CHICA MOJITO (12) doesn't win out of turn but finds her race today on the limit weight. Solid return when second to Firestorm (who's since won again) when charging late over 1500m at Rosehill on September 14. Drops 6kg in weight for this and she looks to have come back much stronger. Hard to stop. SNOWMAN (10) third up today and turned in a better showing when sitting on the speed for a plugging fourth over 1600m here on September 21. J Mac sticks from the good draw and he will prove hard to run down. OVERRIDING (8) smart mare who indicated a win was imminent when controlling the tempo before tiring late when third in the G3 Tibbie Stakes at Newcastle over 1400m on September 20. Will hold a forward position again and play a leading role. FLOATING (4) track and trip specialist who charged late when a commanding 1.5 len winner at this track over 1600m in BM88 class on September 21. Can win again.

RACE 6 - SNOW IN MAY (2) exciting filly who won well two back, before jumping sharply in grade when an eye catching second after missing the jump over 1400m in the G2 Tea Rose Stakes at this track. Further improved now after returning slick sectional splits last start. Can go one better today. LAZZURA (3) improving with racing and should relish the 1600m and further. Closed off nicely when fourth over 1400m in the G2 Tea Rose Stakes. Failed to sprint with them on straightening and never shirked her task late. Each way. LADY SHENANDOAH (4) promising filly who launched late with a strong neck win on resumption over 1400m at Rosehill in the G3 Ming Dynasty on September 14. Has further improvement to come and sure to be thereabouts. HARLEM QUEEN (7) Newcastle trained filly chasing her third straight victory. Massive jump in grade today after winning over 1400m as fav at Kembla Grange on September 14. Can sneak into the minor money.

RACE 7 - BELLA NIPOTINA (7) tough mare who is currently the second fav in TAB Everest betting. Slick return when getting out late for an unlucky second over 1000m in the G3 Concorde Stakes at this track on September 7. Will appreciate the good tempo and prove hard to stop. GIGA KICK (1) drifted in betting late on resumption, when an even fifth over 1000m in the G3 Concorde Stakes. Kept up to the mark with a recent 901m trial win and reported to have come on sharply since. Look for him surging late. MAZU (3) consistent six-year-old gelding who resumed with a gritty on pace third in the G2 The Shorts over the 1100m here. Should get control from the low draw and figure prominently. THINK ABOUT IT (2) last year's Everest winner resuming after failing to come up last prep when fifth over 1300m in the G1 Kingsford Smith Cup at Eagle Farm on June 1. Resumes with two searching trials and capable of blowing these away on best form. Big watch.

RACE 8 - LAND LEGEND (14) French import who created a big impression at his first Australian start last prep when taking out the St Leger in good order over the 2600m here last October. Fitter now after two runs back and looks one of the leading chances. FUTURE HISTORY (11) tough gelding who gets down in the weights for this after finishing in the minor money at both runs back. Showed a ton of grit when sitting on the pace for a narrow second over 2000m in the G3 Naturalism Stakes at Caulfield on September 21. Brings strong figures here and no excuses from the draw. UNUSUAL LEGACY (21) lightly raced gelding with a ton of upside fourth up today. Faces his stiffest test after powering late when a narrow second over 1900m at Rosehill in BM88 grade last Saturday. Has no weight and expected to get the trip. QUE TEMPESTA (4) classy Victorian stayer who drops sharply in weight third up. Motored late with the 59kg when sixth in the G3 Naturalism over 2000m at Caulfield on September 21. Each way chance.

RACE 9 - ATC Australian Derby winner MAJOR BEEL (12) has come back much stronger this time in and he won't know himself with just 51.5kg. Nice win first up over this track and trip before being collared late when fifth to Fangirl over 1600m in the 7+ Stakes at this track on September 21. Should get control from the outset and prove hard to run down. CEOLWULF (7) exciting prospect at his top for this fourth up. Back in trip today after looming strongly when second in the G3 King Town over 2000m here on September 21. Can get cover early and take plenty of holding out. KOVALICA (4) enigmatic gelding who resumed in good order with a fast finishing third in the G2 Tramway over 1400m here on September 7. J Mac keeps the ride and he should get his chance from the low draw. TOM KITTEN (9) showed an explosive turn of foot first up before being snagged back from the wide draw when an even fifth over 1400m in the G3 Bill Ritchie Handicap here on September 21. Poorly drawn but too good to dismiss.

RACE 10 - MORAVIA (5) underrated gelding who finally showed what he's capable of when stalking the good tempo for a determined 2.25 len victory over 1200m here on September 21. Finds a slightly tougher race today but can make it two straight from the good gate. OSTRAKA (4) exciting gelding who continued where he left off after surging late out wide on resumption with a dominant victory over 1100m at Rosehill on September 14. Goes equally as well second up and looks set for a big prep. BRIASA (21) undefeated in four runs and has a stack of upside. Showed a good turn of foot when resuming with a slick win over 1100m at Rosehill in BM78 company on August 31. Kept fresh and must be kept safe if he gains a start. Multiple Group 3 placegetter INHIBITIONS (17) resumes after finishing runner up at Eagle Farm in strong company at her last two starts. Has the two good trials under the belt and Craig Williams rides on the limit weight. Must respect.
