TAB COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN HANDICAP 1450m
Just a moderate tempo headed by Yanabah, Down The Kooka and Nulkaba Star. TARRANT COUNTY (10) will relish the extra distance after making good ground from last on the turn when third over 1250m at Gunnedah. Proven at this track and Osmond retains the ride. Goes close. NULKABA STAR (2) will hold a forward position again after gripping on late when third over 1300m at Scone. Comes here in peak condition and sure to be thereabouts. JU TWO (5) fourth up for this and capable of better after disappointing when hard in the market at his last two outings. Never looked comfortable in the run and clearly failed to back up when seventh over 1400m at Inverell. Worth another chance. GHAZNAVI (7) since fitted with a 1200m trial and the extra distance is in his favour. Will find this easier after chipping away late when sixth over 1300m at Scone. Leading prospect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tarrant County to appreciate this distance. |

TWO RIVERS WINE F&M MAIDEN PLATE 1280m
A few sit handy but there won't be a great deal of early pressure. TICKLE ME PINK (8) turned the corner at first run back for second prep with a fast finishing second over 1000m at Gosford. Desperate for this distance range now and should prove too strong for these. OAKFIELD EARTH (4) much better run at her second career start when stalking the speed for an encouraging fourth over 1450m at Quirindi. Doesn't have to improve much to figure prominently. TESORINO (7) will appreciate the firmer surface after tiring late when fifth over 1400m at Taree. Inside gate helps her cause and can take a hand in the finish. RUN THE RED LIGHT (6) big jump in grade when a fading sixth over 1300m at Goulburn in the heavy (9) going. Placed here on debut and expecting a better performance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tickle Me Pink to get off the mark. |

MUSWELLBROOK STEEL SUPPLIES CG&E MAIDEN PLATE 1280m
In a race devoid of pace Jakubik will be prominent. SIR TUA (8) massive class drop for this and since fitted with a 900m trial at Rosehill. Far from disgraced on debut when seventh to Regulated Affair over 1000m at Warwick Farm. Cross-over nose band goes on and has top three claims. PERASTA (6) almost a month between runs when back in trip for a plugging third over 900m at Newcastle. Has the figures to play a leading role. SMASHING NOVA (9) is a first starter by Brave Smash from Al Nova expected to sprint well for the Kris Lees yard. Has shown ability in both trials and gets every chance from the gate. SPACETIME LEGEND (7) resumes with a host of gear changes on his home track. Back without a trial and expected to have matured over the break. Each way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sir Tua can get off the mark from the good gate. |

STAR TURN AT VINERY CLASS 3 HANDICAP 1000m
Strong tempo with Not Written Off, Miss Rebel and Singing Star leading the way. BAKHITA (4) failed to bounce off her good third two back in this class, after failing to handle the heavy (9) conditions when twelfth over 1200m at Randwick. Well placed for this and capable of taking this out on the firmer track. SO YOU SUGGEST (5) trained locally and racing in career best form. Launched late with a dominant victory over 1100m at Mudgee. Can keep the winning momentum going from the good draw. MISS REBEL (1) big jump in grade when a fading tenth to Zealously over 1100m at Scone in BM78 grade. Proven at this level and has a good record at this track and trip. EXECUTIVE DECISION (2) sent to town when chasing his third straight win, before failing to get into the contest when a dismal ninth over 1100m at Warwick Farm. Sharp improvement expected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 4,5,1,2. |

TAB.COM.AU COUNTRY BOOSTED CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1280m
In a race without an obvious leader, either Ronny Bee or Wicked Games can roll them along. ZELESTIAL (5) returned for the new stable when making her Australian debut with a slick win over 1200m at Tamworth. Strips even fitter for this and looks the main danger on the improving surface. WASTED DAYS (1) comes here in peak condition and due for a change of luck. Finally drawn a low gate after charging late when third over 1100m at Dubbo. Can race closer today and figure prominently. SNITZENEGGER (7) gritty effort at start nine when holding a forward position to get off the mark over 1450m at Quirindi. Confidence is high and gets his chance from the barrier. GELSEY (4) fitter now after having excuses when sixth from the wide draw over 1000m at Tamworth. Ready for the trip and back in grade. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zelestial to go close. |

BENGALLA CUP SUN 27 JULY BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1450m
From the wide draw Taipan Legend can cross and set up a solid tempo. KEEP AT 'EM (6) improving gelding who was a total forgive from the outside gate when a plugging twelfth over 1600m at Scone. Kept fresh and will race a little closer from the good gate. Each way player. CHILLCUZ (7) caught the eye again at her second run back when making up good late ground to finish fourth over 1400m at Gunnedah. Senior rider on and ready to win.

BELLINI SPRITZ (9) solid return from the awkward gate when an eye catching third over 1400m at Tamworth. Further improved and sure to be thereabouts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 6,7,11,9. |

MAGIC MILLIONS BENCHMARK 82 HANDICAP 1500m
Expecting Rajnish to lead Social Outcast at just a moderate tempo. Strong contest with several leading chances. SIZZLE MINIZZLE (2) backs up quickly after giving them a galloping lesson from the wide draw when leading throughout over 1400m at Dubbo on June 6. Clearly pleased the stable since and expected to run out a strong 1500m. REBEL'S EDGE (5) another on the quick backup after improving sharply when gripping on late to salute over 1600m at Taree eight days ago. Goes well on his home track and winning rider keeps the mount. KNIFE'S EDGE (1) tough old customer who jumps in weight after he swamped his rivals late with a dominant win over 1600m at Parkes. Solid top three player. RAJNISH (9) brings the right figures here and well placed on the limit. Made good ground late when fourth over 1600m at Scone in Highway class. Fitted with a 1200m trial since and worth thought. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 2,5,1,9. |

ROBSON CIVIL BENCHMARK 66 HANDICAP 1280m
Expecting Etched In Time to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. ETCHED IN TIME (2) has frustrated the stable this time in and due for a change of luck. Senior rider engaged and will appreciate the firmer surface after finishing a close-up fourth over 1200m at Gosford. Each way prospect. HULU (5) had mixed fortunes in two runs back and strips fitter after failing to get into the contest when ninth over 1300m at Scone. Saves her best for this track and trip and kept up to the mark with a 1000m trial. Can race closer from the gate. PENSATIVA (9) improving with racing and set to peak after finishing a close fourth over 1280m at this track. Maps well and can add value to the exotics.
