CHRISTMAS RACE DAY 22 NOVEMBER 2025 3YO MAIDEN HANDICAP 1000m
Good early pressure anticipated with a large number of unraced runners. PRECIOUS GIRL (8) returned for her second campaign with a tenacious on-pace second over 900m at Newcastle. Has further upside to come from the good gate. Goes close. BOBBY (1) Menari gelding from Fluttershy on debut for the Perry yard. Has impressed in all three trials and will prove hard to hold out with Fitzgerald's 1.5kg claim. DIACON (3) Tassort filly from Sutton Forest making her debut for the Bjorn Baker stable. Fitted with four trials and looks well placed on the Gosford circuit from the inside gate. MAJESTIC LEGEND (7) knocked up late when returning for her second prep when fifth over 1000m at Hawkesbury. No shock to see her figure in the placings. SUGGESTED PLAY: Precious Girl and Bobby look set to fight it out. |

MILK & HONEY HAIR 4YO&UP MAIDEN HANDICAP 1000m
Without a recognised leader, Love You Anyway and Oakfield Mars will likely set the pace. TAMPA BAY (8) thirteen-start maiden who finds a winnable race. Attacked the line late when back in class for a tidy fourth over 1000m at Scone. Drops further in weight with Stanley's claim and adept in all going. MISS MOLLY ROCKET (3) returned a good set of closing splits on debut when savaging the line late to finish fourth over 1000m at Port Macquarie. Trained on the track and no shock to see her go on with it now. LOVE YOU ANYWAY (5) improved showing two-back when placing over 900m at Newcastle from back in the field. Had excuses from the wide gate when fourth over 900m at Newcastle. Hard fit now on the backup. Each way. PRIZE WRITER (1) Written By mare from Finest Choice on debut for the Archibald yard. Fitted with the five trials and she has a host of gear changes on for this. Must respect from the inside draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tampa Bay in a fairly average contest. |

WESTPAC RESCUE HELICOPTER SERVICE RACE DAY 18 DECEMBER 2025 CLASS 1 & MAIDEN PLATE 2100m
Epic Statement, Juan Pablo and Anulfa can settle forward in a race lacking a designated leader. ICON DREAM (7) frustrating mare who gets one more chance from the inside gate with the claim. Rattled late three starts back when second to Golden Century over 2000m at Kembla. Top three contender. LIYAH'S GIRL (9) another from the Matt Smith yard who relished the extra ground third-up when closing strongly for a solid second over 2000m at Canberra. Adkins sticks from the low gate and is capable of playing a leading role. MY GREEK GOD (2) is racing in career-best form and comes here in peak condition. Three weeks between runs when sitting up on the speed for a game second over 2200m at Scone. Can push forward from the draw and doesn't have to lift much to win this. ANULFA (4) keeps improving with racing and indicated she was near her best when hanging tough late to finish third over 2000m at Canberra. Gets weight relief with the claim and expected to be in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 7,9,2,4. |

BELLE OF THE TURF 28 DECEMBER 2025 MIDWAY CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1200m
Pace looks to be genuine with Oakfield Saturn and Matchsticks matching motors in advance of Eagles Beware and Jamais. CALL ME SASSY (4) bounced off her sound debut third, with a tenacious head victory over 1100m at Hawkesbury when a short-priced fav. Looks ready for this stiffer contest and rise in trip. OAKFIELD SATURN (2) progressive mare who was heavily supported on resumption when a fighting on-pace second to the handy Gunroom over 1250m at Newcastle. Won over this track and trip on debut and gets map favours. Goes close. MATCHSTICKS (6) has taken giant strides in her second preparation and was rewarded for her consistency when a slick on-pace winner over 1200m at Canberra. Gets a better set-up for this and is expected to go close. EAGLES BEWARE (3) frustrating in two runs back and has a host of gear changes for this. Shouldered the 60.5kg when fading badly in the straight to run fourth over 1150m at Beaumont (Newcastle). Goes into the place calculations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Call Me Sassy and Oakfield Saturn to fight it out. |

VALE GIL SLATTERY SUPER MAIDEN PLATE 1200m
Good early pressure anticipated with a large representation of first starters. GOOD HOTSPUR (5) nice colt resuming after showing a ton of ability in his first campaign. Finished a game second to Skyhook over 1200m in the G3 Pago Pago at Rosehill last March. Given the two solid trials and the tongue-tie goes on. The one to beat. LAMBERTINA (12) Blue Point filly from Bargain on debut for the O'Shea & Charlton stable. Has impressed in both trials and the lugging-bit and tongue-tie go on. Must be kept safe from the inside barrier. HEREWARD (6) resumes from a lengthy break. Showed a ton of ability in his first prep when narrow seconds in two strong races. Primed for this with the two sharp trials and has the speed to get over from the draw. Genuine prospect. KUMBAYA (11) three-year-old filly by North Pacific from Glamour Gal on debut for the Waller yard. Fitted with the four trials and the lugging bit goes on from the good barrier. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Good Hotspur and Lambertina can fight it out. |

JOHN "POPPY" PARSONS MEMORIAL RACE PROVINCIAL MAIDEN HANDICAP 1600m
Thaibeefsalade has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. PHOENIX LEGEND (2) deep into his prep and finds a winnable contest out to the mile. Back in trip on the tight Queanbeyan track when a narrow third over 1460m. Can race closer up to the mile and assess on the unlucky second two-back at Kembla. BONDI BLOSSOM (7) first blemish of the prep when raced fiercely early before fading to run seventh over this trip at Kembla Grange. Blinkers come off and regular rider sticks. Can bounce back quickly. AUTUMN HEIR (6) frustrating gelding having his first start for the Kris Lees yard. Chipped away late when third over 1660m at Moruya on September 16. Kept ticking over with a trial placing over 1000m at Beaumont (Newcastle). Visors come off and sure to be thereabouts. SLAM DUNK (10) big jump in distance third-up when sitting on the speed for a plodding fifth over 1600m at Hawkesbury. Finds an easier contest and down sharply in weight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Phoenix Legend to shed his maiden status. |

NEW YEARS EVE FAMILY RACE DAY 31 DECEMBER 2025 BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP 1600m
Darn Cute has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. EMBALLEE (6) finally put it all together at start seven when recording a comprehensive maiden win over 1600m at Hawkesbury. Looks to have more upside than most of these and maps to get the right run. INVASIVE DREAMS (4) back sharply in class after going out hard for a tiring fifth over 1600m at Randwick in the Filante. Will relish Grima's 3kg claim and shapes as a genuine top-three prospect. DRUNKEN SAILOR (9) has started to hit his straps at his last two runs. Impressed when picking them up effortlessly for a decisive win over 1460m at Queanbeyan in C3 class. Looks up to this at the good each-way price. WHETU (1) in need of the run first-up over the unsuitable trip when last of ten over 1350m at Newcastle. This looks more to his liking and can surprise some of his more fancied rivals. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 6,4,9,1. |

ROCK AT THE RACES 21 MARCH 2026 BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP 1100m
They should get along early on with plenty of speed on show. CREPE MYRTLE (3) classy mare who continued the good form at her first run back for the Pride yard when a tough on-pace second to Lyles over 1000m at Warwick Farm in BM72 grade. Regular rider hops back aboard and should finish over the top of these. GOLD CARD (1) showed a blistering turn of foot first-up when launching late for a narrow victory over 1000m at Taree. Clearly come back well and will be hard to hold out with Grima's 3kg claim. Value prospect. STILL ALICE (6) returns from a 42-day let-up and due for a change of luck. Down in the weights and maps to get every chance. BOLD DESIGN (8) bounced off his good first-up third, with a convincing victory over 1000m at Muswellbrook. Has further upside and deserves his chance here from the low draw. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Crepe Myrtle to add a splash of colour to the day. |
