Racing & Sports expert selections.

RACE 1 - BOUNTY BY KNIGHT (1) finds his race today second up after resuming with a gritty on pace second over today's trip at Moruya on September 17. Gets the right race set up and should prove too good for these. VORIAH (4) is a 20-start maiden who will find this easier after running fourth over 1200m here behind Sir Lunchalots on September 13. Go on her solid run two back when assessing her chances. PARTHENOPE (3) Danielle Seib trained four-year-old mare by Bolt D'Oro out of a Danehill Dancer mare on debut. Recent trial winner at Goulburn was solid and she can play a leading role. RAIDERLICIOUS (8) three-year-old Kermadec filly out of Thunder Raider on debut for the Matt Dale yard. Not that far away when fifth over 800m in a Goulburn trial on May 24. Can play a leading role.

RACE 2 - SAINT EMILION (2) Maher trained colt who ran a solid third on debut, before failing to handle the heavy (8) conditions when a poor seventh over this trip at Kembla Grange o September 28. Drawn to get the right run and has the ability to take this out. ARANESE (4) fourth up for this and has his hoof on the till. Went out hard when stuck on well to secure third over 1625m at Wyong on September 1. Kept fresh and a repeat of latest will see him hard to hold out. OCEAN DIVA (1) thirteen start maiden due for a change of luck. Has a massive fitness edge over these and drawn to stalk the average tempo. Solid top three contender. ADVENTURE SEEKER (7) up in trip at second career run and failed to stretch out in the slow (7) going when sixth over 1600m at Wagga on September 30. Well drawn and has the ability to turn it around.

RACE 3 - KEN'KER (2) disappointed as fav when he slipped on jumping to finish a poor seventh over 1600m at Wagga on September 5. Had genuine excuses last start and this looks easier on his home track. Goes close. HURRICANE CONI (3) third up for this and strong through the line late when fifth over 1400m at Canberra on September 28. Ready for the mile and looks up to this with Keagan Latham booked. PRINCE PAPA (5) only the one win from 17 starts and due for a change of luck. Had to work hard from the draw when fourth over 1400m at Canberra on September 28. Maps well and not without genuine each way claims. FUDGE (7) at her top now and will appreciate the 2kg claim after tiring late when sixth over 1650m at Moruya on September 17. Goes into the exotics.

RACE 4 - CITY GOLD READY (1) finished unplaced in the NZ Derby last March and third up today in a very weak race. Warmed up late from near last on the turn when sixth over 1850m at Newcastle in C1 company on September 20. Should get the right tempo early and finish over the top of these. LEGS POWER (9) is a leading player fifth up after finishing in the minor money at his last two outings. Never comfortable in the heavy (8) going when a plugging third over 2125m here on September 26. Looks the main danger. STAND IN LINE (6) stretched out in trip at his last two outings and gets the blinkers added here after racing below his best when sixth over 2000m at Wagga on September 21. Earlier efforts were sound and can figure in the minor money. PAUJI POWER (3) pushed out to the 2000m when a tough on pace third at Canberra on September 28. Gets the right set up again and can play a leading role.

RACE 5 - WOODZY (6) solid return when sitting on the speed for a tough second over today's track and trip on September 26. Further improved now and gets a similar set up here. Hard to hold out. PUERTO RICO (4) improved sharply when anchored with the 60kg to finish a narrow neck second over 1100m at Nowra on September 22. Maps well and expected to go close if he can repeat his latest effort. GETTY (7) struggled in two runs back and gets the tongue tie added today. Goes well this course and distance and worth another chance. ARTIEOS (5) beat a handy field first up at Queanbeyan when leading throughout over 900m on September 10. Kept fresh and has the speed to get across from the sticky draw. Place best.

RACE 6 - Tough race. BROADCAST BOOGIE (11) resumes after two mixed runs last prep and looks primed for this from the good gate. Had the two trials in readiness and should have developed further over the break. Goes close. FLOODGATES (1) another of the Matt Smith runners resuming. Raced in much stronger company last time in and not asked to do much when fifth in a recent trial at Canterbury over 896m. Sure to be strong late. PRETTY CHEEKY (14) is a Written Tycoon filly from Wedgie on debut for the Ryan & Alexiou stable. Had four trials in readiness for this and like the way in which she won at Rosehill over 900m at latest. Bold showing expected. MARVEL MAN (8) showed good improvement first up when sitting on the speed before tiring late when second over 1000m here on September 13. Fitter now and can take a hand in the finish.

RACE 7 - DASHING RUPERT (11) smart debut winner at this course when stalking the good tempo over 1000m on September 13. Jumps in trip and has the speed to get across from the sticky draw. Hard to beat again. STORMY WITNESS (6) trained on the track and returns with excellent fresh credentials after racing in much stronger company last time in. Fitted with the one soft trial and has the ability to take this out. CABLE EXPRESS (2) returns after a five-month spell. Has a good fresh record and will jump straight into the box seat from the low gate. Not asked to do much in a recent trial and must be kept safe. BREAKING GROUND (4) up in grade today after catching the eye late when third over 1400m at Canberra in BM55 company on September 28. Well drawn and has top four claims.

RACE 8 - SUSPECT (1) handy gelding near his top for this third up. Sat on a hot tempo when a tenacious third over 1400m at Kembla Grange in similar company on September 14. Gets the right set up here and no excuses from the draw. JUSTE UN CLOU (6) registered a strong win at Kembla Grange two runs back, then failed to pick up late when seventh over 1200m at Kembla Grange on September 19. Ready for the 1400m now and expected to bounce back. WELCOMETOBARBADOS (10) was an impressive maiden winner first up when dominating over 1400m at Wagga on September 21. Returned good figures at latest and can go on with the job here. SPENCER'S SPIRIT (3) returned from a lengthy break with a gritty on pace second over 1200m at Nowra on September 22. Strips fitter now and well placed to feature in the finish.
