QRACING MEMBERSHIP MAIDEN PLATE 900m
Denali Kai will stride forward but there are few first starters who can keep her busy. Tricky. Innis has been declared late for SWEET MADELINE (10) and the former Queenslander will go around. She was last seen 37 days ago running a close-up second on debut (Sunshine Coast synthetic). She runs along and the morning market suggests she's pleasing. BOLO MISS (8) placed in a recent Canberra trial over 900m and Amy McLucas stays aboard. She maps for the run of the race and finds a winnable assignment. ZOODOO (4) trialled well but the speedy galloper needed the outing at Goulburn on debut. Sydney trained and is sure to have come on. He draws inside and will get every chance. NAPOLEON STRIKE (3) debuts and has switched barns since the two city trials. Has a handy 2kg claim and he deserves consideration as well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bolo Miss each way. |

DALE & HITCHCOCK MAIDEN HANDICAP 1200m
Speed assured from Houdini Spirit, Condominium and Sidoni pressing on ahead of Aquatempo. HOUDINI SPIRIT (4) is Sydney trained and he led beaten 0.8L here two back. Led and boxed on bravely at Canberra following. Maps to advantage and is worth back in grade. The local CONDOMINIUM (2) resumes and found a place here on debut. She's sure to have come on and Taylor is a positive jockey booking. A threat. LONHANOVA (6) is a stablemate to the top selection and he needed the first up run at Kembla Grange. Maps well and has placed second up. He's raced in better company and quick improvement is likely. AQUATEMPO (5) resumes and has switched from a Queensland stable on a 44-day return. He showed plenty early doors and has to be kept safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Houdini Spirit. |

TAB BLACKBOOK COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN PLATE 1460m
Moderate tempo with Our Jorge leading the way. IDEELIC (3) found one better at the Sapphire Coast last time. Has the blinkers applied again and should be sharper coming back 200m. Maps for a soft run and handles the track. Ready to win. SWORNTOMYMISSION (9) finished 1L behind the above here last time over a mile and has been kept on the fresh side. Has an awkward barrier but she gets another chance. TOGOODTOBEACOD (11) has the rail and small claim and is racing well enough to make the finish. FLASH PIPER (2) has been outgraded in town his last two. Needs a good ride but has the blinkers applied again and he's likely to show more over the longer sprint. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Ideelic. |

ALLBIDS COUNTRY BOOSTED CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1000m
Cracking tempo looks assured with many of these capable of pushing on early. AEGIPAN (1) led and won a Goulburn Maiden as expected and didn't finish it off in a CL1 there following on a heavy track. Peaks on a 7-day return and Heywood is a key jockey engagement. He will skip across to the speed and can bounce. DITTERICH (2) just missed in that CL1 and has recorded a comparable figure of a good surface. He races forward and keeps Innes. Genuine claims. MAN FROM BRUSSELLS (3) showed enough first-up at Dubbo to suggest this is within his reach. Didn't have the best of it there last time as a $3 favourite and will present fitter again. BETTER SUN (5) is right up to this at best but hasn't been showing it this campaign. The sharp barn is persevering and a better effort won't surprise. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Aegipan. |

SHERIDAN GARAGE DOORS BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 2000m
Great Week is likely to take charge and set a decent tempo. COSMOS FACTORY (4) improved again winning a CL1 at the Sapphire Coast as expected. Maps for the run of the race and a top hoop sticks aboard. Comes back 200m and will be hard to beat. BROHM LAKE (2) just missed in a Wagga 66 off the big win this grade at Goulburn. Didn't finish it off in a 64 at Newcastle last time, but will appreciate this grade and should run the 2000m right out. SPURLINE (11) is racing well enough but she will need luck from a wide barrier. GATCHAN (5) is back in grade and has won twice over this trip. Steps up from a mile and has to be kept onside. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Cosmos Factory. |

QUEANBEYAN LEAGUES BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1200m
Genuine tempo with Siovy Dane to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. SIOVY DANE (4) raced forward and was back to her best beaten 1.4L at Nowra. That's good form and she will be suited around here. Sydney trained and presents on a 9-day return. CRUCIAL WITNESS (5) was narrowly beaten here x4 and then didn't handle the heavy track at Braidwood. Winning rider Budler replaces the 4kg apprentice and she's a decent chance. PRETTY VEGAS (3) is a local on resumption and has placed 4/6 at this track/distance. Owns a Canberra trial win and won't know herself back in a 58. CALMER KARMA (1) was plain at Wagga but went close at Nowra prior on a heavy surface. He has an awkward barrier but his best would have him in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Siovy Dane. |

TAB BETS FRIENDS BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1460m
Hot tempo expected from Ferrari Girl and Geostorm. Wide open. CRAZY ATOM (6) won at the Sapphire Coast and she's been narrowly beaten here the two starts since. The local runs along and comes back a touch in trip. A decent chance to go one better. THAT A BOY (5) went back-to-back but has since raced in CL3s without success. Led and won this track/trip first-up and Heywood is a key jockey booking. A bounce is likely. GOOD PRIZE (4) was outgraded at the Sapphire Coast but won here at the level prior and is drawn to advantage. DESTRUCTIVE DIVA (1) tumbles in grade and has the rails gate and a handy 4kg claim. Peaks and a much better showing is likely. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Crazy Atom. |
