Racing & Sports expert selections.

RACE 1 - SUMMER SOIREE (6) raced consistently last time in without winning and resumes with a couple of nice trials under her belt. This looks a suitable race. RECRUITER (3) was placed at Kembla when resuming then fair effort at Canterbury not beaten far. Will need some luck from the draw but is in the mix. EXOTHRILL (8) has been honest in two runs back this time in and has a show. THE PACIFIC (4) and SHARE THE JOY (11) could be placed.

RACE 2 - O'INVINCIBLE (11) has been sharp at the trials and showed good dash in winning her latest at Warwick Farm. Expect her to go forward and take running down. GAMP (8) has won both trials and did the job okay at 1045m in the latest. Has to be respected. PAPARACHA (4) has looked the goods at the trials too winning nicely at Rosehill a few weeks ago. Keep in mind. MAGENTA (10) could show up and NATURAL LAWS (3) ran well last time.

RACE 3 - TESSY TEE (10) ran well at her only start back in June and has trialled quite nicely against some promising types. Must respect. SIMPLY NUTBUSH (2) has a wide gate to overcome but wasný disgraced first-up at this track and can only have some upside. Each-way. SWEET FUTURE (14) is open to improvement on an even debut effort at Kembla Grange and has drawn quite well. ROMAN SONG (19) REBEL RHAPSODY (7) are worth considering.

RACE 4 - WAR STAR (5) hasn't done a lot wrong in two starts and fitter for a placing at Wyong when resuming. Should get across to the lead and can take running down. CALIFORNIA BLUES (6) is getting close to a win and has to be included in the main hopes after a close second at Canberra last time. THINK ROMANCE (13) hasn't been far away all preparation and finds a winnable race here. NORTH TERRACE (3) is in the mix and MOE THAN BUBBLES (20) could be an improver.

RACE 5 - O'ZIGGY (2) failed to beat one home when resuming but that was at 1250m and he'll be much better placed up the mile. Look for improvement. OAKFIELD PRINCE (1) has struck form with a win and a second at this trip in recent runs. Has to be included in the chances. DECIMUS (6) is on the way up this preparation and improved nicely to be placed here last start. STAY TUNED (8) and TENNIEL (3) have each-way hopes.

RACE 6 - CLOSE ENCOUNTER (3) can run well fresh in a race that has changed drastically with the scratchings. Won fresh last time in and looks hard to beat. SOLUTIONIST (5) won both starts last preparation in easier company and is coming off a year's break. Trialling okay and stays under notice. LADY SHENANIGANS (10) is always a chance in this sort of race and can show up on the home track. DREAMS OF THUNDER (8) and RUSSIAN ZARINA (11) could be placed.

RACE 7 - IT'S A WONDER (4) has shown city class ability and if she's able to get a shot at these first-up she should take holding out. Won fresh last time and will be hitting the line hard. DUMEBI (1) wasn't beaten far when resuming at Kembla Grange and will be fitter. Open to improvement and is a threat. CORREON (7) is up in class but comes off a nice maiden win so could be capable of going on with it. ZOUSAIN BOLT (8) and SHADOW EXPRESS (6) are among the chances.
