NUM TIME COMMENT
1 12:45 HOTONDO HOMES SOUTH COAST CLASS 1 & MAIDEN PLATE 2200m
Buff Mobile probably leads with So Sleek, Presley and Ruff all handy. SO SLEEK (3) had her first run for the new stable when a fair effort at Newcastle. Was right in the market so there was some expectation and in a much weaker race he's well worth another chance. PRESLEY (4) broke through at his fourth start when a short priced favourite at Canberra. Races handy and has to be respected. RUFF (5) ran his best race for a while when narrowly beaten by Presley and if he can back that up he's a chance. Minor claims to DUNJENNI (6) and BUFF MOBILE (2).  SUGGESTED PLAY: So Sleek to win.
2 01:20 SHOALHAVEN EVENT & PARTY HIRE COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN PLATE 1100m
Motorboat takes control in front. Sultry Vixen, Sworntomymission and Kool Bird can race handy. MOTORBOAT (6) improved on an even debut to lead and give a good sight at Canberra when runner-up. Likely leader here and big chance to go one better. BABY DAISY (3) has been a bit hit and miss as far as placings go but did try very hard at Bathurst last time out. Good chance. SURE INTENTIONS (2) ran a couple of nice enough races in his first campaign and resumes here with two trials. Inside gate and a claim help and he's some hope. SWORNTOMYMISSION (8) and KOOL BIRD (5) have claims.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Motorboat to win. Trifecta 6-2,3,5,8/2,3,5,8.
3 01:55 G J GARDNER HOMES COUNTRY BOOSTED BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1200m
Howgoodisvegas looks the leader with Papaver Miner. Spritely Emily and Jacob Joe have some speed. DENI GAL (4) has the hoof right on the till with three seconds from her last four starts. Handles all ground and good form at the track. Hard to beat. SANTORINI SUN (1) won well here first-up beating Deni Gal then disappointed at Canberra when a big drifter in betting. Entitled to another chance. HOWGOODISVEGAS (2) is flying at the moment and comes here fresh after wins at Sapphire Coast and Moruya within a week. Sure to give a good sight. LADY REVOLUTION (5) and PAPAVER MINER (8) are worth thought.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Deni Gal to win.
4 02:30 THE NOWRA JEWELLER CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1100m
Red Niccerz and Missy No Nay are the main on pacers. Roman Miss won't be far away. ROMAN MISS (4) romped in first-up at Orange leading all the way then not disgraced in a stronger race at Scone when fourth. Drawn ideally to stalk and should be hard to beat. TOKYO STAR (5) had first run for new stable and was far too good at Wellington almost a month ago. Fitter and commands some respect. MISSY NO NAY (1) was a popular maiden winner at Moruya to break through at her fifth start. Could go on with it. MOUNT WARNING (2) and SASSEN (7) are worth including.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Roman Miss to win.
5 03:07 HANLON WINDOWS BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1600m
Eltoroson has good early speed and Tillman should also be prominent. Threw also has some pace. PACKER (1) should appreciate getting back to the mile after a close up fourth over 1400m at Wellington. This track also suits better and has won here. Should be in the finish. TILLMAN (7) doesn't win out of turn but was able to prevail at Moruya just over a week ago. Backs up and sure to be competitive again. ELTOROSON (3) is also a last start winner at Moruya after leading all the way. Up in class but can't leave out. JALMARI (2) and ULYSSES BLUE (6) are place chances.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Packer to win.
6 03:41 JIMMY STUART CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1400m
A bit of speed here through Downtown's Abbey, Point Out and Siovy Dane. WORX (1) hasn't seen a heavy track but done nothing wrong and made some ground on a soft track at Canberra second-up. Claim helps and should be around the mark. BIANCO NERO (5) comes off a maiden win but it was a solid one at Hawkesbury. Could easily go on with it back to country level. TIGERS ROAR (2) didn't seem to come up last preparation but form before that was promising and fitter for a recent trial. Keep in mind. POINT OUT (4) and SIOVY DANE (9) have claims.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Worx to win.
7 04:20 BODIE'Z PROTEIN WATER MAIDEN PLATE 1400m
Palikari should cross to the lead and look to control. Rawano perhaps and Goodnight Barlow could press forward. PALIKARI (6) has shown enough in two starts to suggest he'll be hard to beat here. Looks to get some control in front and take some running down. CAN EXPECT GREATER (8) ran well on a heavy track two starts back then even effort at Kembla last time. Shade easier back to country grade and good chance. PHAZED (10) is on debut for top stable and has trialled a couple of times leading in. Any market moves would be significant. FAYE RUNAWAY (9) and GOODNIGHT BARLOW (4) are lightly raced and open to improvement.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Palikari to win.
