TURFMATE INTERNATIONAL 3YO MAIDEN HANDICAP 1300m
Farset is the probable leader in the small field. FARSET (1) six-start Maiden set to get off the mark today third-up. Took control early from the inside gate and nailed late with the 60.5kg for a narrow second over 1350m at Wyong. Can slide across from the wide gate and is expected to handle the conditions. SIMPLY UNIQUE (6) Snitzel filly who drifted back on debut before finishing a close-up fourth over 1100m at Canterbury. Extra trip in her favour and shapes as the main danger. FITZCLARENCE (3) stalked the good tempo at his second career start with a most improved second over 1200m at Kembla Grange. Like the way he attacked the line last start and gets map favours again. WEE WINN (8) was unwanted in betting on debut before running a respectable on-speed fourth over 1300m at Kembla Grange. Slight query in the going but must be kept safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Farset looks to find his race. |

TITAN AG F&M MAIDEN PLATE 1400m
Without a designated pacemaker it will probably turn into a dash home. ALNAIR (1) returned for her second campaign with a gritty on-pace second over 1250m at Newcastle in the small field. Desperate for this trip and further now and must be kept safe. OBSIDIAN DREAM (3) dropped back a level third-up with an improved second over 1300m at Canberra. Can roll across from the awkward gate and is expected to take a hand in the finish. SUCCESSFUL IMPACT (6) Fierce Impact filly out of Successful Day on debut for the Maher stable. Has made improvement in all three trials and not to be underestimated. OLIVIA MIA (4) taken back from the wide gate on debut with a battling eighth over 1300m at this track. Was runner-up in a recent trial over 1207m at Warwick Farm. Keep safe in the heavy going. SUGGESTED PLAY: Alnair finds her race second-up. |

ADVANCED SEED BLACKSTONE SUPER MAIDEN PLATE 1100m
Expecting Reign Of Honor to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. PEARL OF DUBAI (9) ran fourth in the G3 Widden first-up and has since finished runner-up in two strong contests. Seven weeks between runs heading into this and worth noting she finished second to Magic Time in the G3 Black Opal over 1200m at Canberra on a soft (7) track. Go close. REIGN OF HONOR (1) returns from a lengthy break after showing ability in his first prep. Primed for this with the two trials and gets every chance from the gate. WILD COURAGE (10) caught the eye on debut when she ran on late to finish third over 900m at Newcastle. Ready for this trip and can take a hand in the finish. WEEKEND MARKET (7) went back from the outside gate second-up and savaged the line late with an eye-catching fourth over 1100m at Wyong. Well drawn today and can race much closer to the speed. Each-way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pearl Of Dubai gets her chance to shine. |

SYNGENTA TREFINTI PROVINCIAL MAIDEN HANDICAP 1600m
Without an obvious leader, it may be left to Pawa, Satono Jasmine and Aurora Effect to control the tempo. CLASSIC TWO (1) had mixed luck in Hong Kong and is expected to go close third-up in a winnable contest. Sat on the good speed before fading to run fifth in a tight finish over 1350m at Wyong. Placed at the trip and will prove hard to run down with map favours. SATONO JASMINE (7) strengthened over the break with an encouraging on-pace third over 1350m at Wyong. Can get off the mark quickly this prep and overcome the sticky gate. PROPANE (11) deep into the campaign and finally draws a low gate. Covered plenty of ground in the run when he jumped in trip for a fading seventh over 1900m at Newcastle. Blinkers go on and deserves another chance. AURORA EFFECT (3) massive flop as the ($1.30 fav), when covered ground early and over raced with the blinkers added for a tiring ninth over 1600m at Wyong. Blinkers come off and has placed in the heavy going. Improver. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 1,7,11,3. |

ADAMA MIDWAY CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1600m
Percolate, Above The Law and Brannum can set the pace. FLYING GREY (5) launched late from last on the turn with a solid first-up victory over 1350m at Wyong in the soft (5) conditions. Will keep improving as she gets out in trip and can keep the winning momentum going. BRANNUM (4) raced without luck all prep and struggled to see the 1900m out when he dropped out sharply to finish eighth over 1900m at Newcastle. Earlier runs had merit and is proven in the going. POLO (6) underrated filly who can get the campaign back on track third-up. Desperate for this trip now after she went back from the wide gate and failed to run on when twelfth over 1300m at Kembla Grange. Kept fresh and the cross-over nose band goes on. Each way player. ARANESE (10) hard fit for this and placed twice over the 1600m. Gripped on late to secure fourth over 1625m at Wyong. Kept fresh and will be in this for a long way with the claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 5,4,6,10. |

FLORATINE PRODUCTS GROUP CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1100m
Only a small field with Miss Farnan likely to find a comfortable lead. MISS FARNAN (5) created a good impression when making her winning debut at Canberra last December. Sat on the speed in a muddling run race on resumption with a plugging third over 1100m at Goulburn. Has the speed to get across from the sticky draw and will take holding out with the weight drop. SEDUCTRA (6) resumed in a much weaker contest when she demolished her rivals to get off the mark over 1100m at Gosford. Takes on the older horses again and gets map favours with the tongue-tie going on. MATIMA (1) underrated gelding who resumes with the one trial. Best form is on rain-affected tracks and expected to go close despite having to shoulder the 62kg. DUBBO BOY (4) anchored with the 61kg first-up with a tidy on-pace fourth over 1100m at Goulburn. Has never been out of the placings second-up and proven in the going. Worth thought. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Farnan will prove hard to run down. |

TURFCARE AUS BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP 2100m
Aussie Nation to roll forward and dictate terms. AUSSIE NATION (3) consistent gelding racing in career best form. Up in grade when he stalked the speed for a courageous second over 2100m at Tamworth in BM85 grade. Winning rider hops back aboard from the good gate and is expected to go close in this weaker race. GRANDINI (11) consistent mare who doesn't have to improve much in this easier contest. Has won twice from her last five starts this time in. Drifted back early and chipped away late when sixth over 2100m at Wyong. Adept in all conditions and has genuine top-three claims. MICHELANGELO (9) looked to have plenty up the sleeve second-up when he rounded them up effortlessly as fav to salute over 1800m at Bathurst. Looks up to this with the claim and not to be underestimated. SCOTTISH PEARL (5) two runs back have only been average after progressing quickly in stronger company last preparation. Placed on heavy going and deserves another chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 3,11,9,5. |

ELITE SAND & SOIL CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1300m
Tango On is expected to lead at a strong tempo. WHOA NELLIE (8) first-up after five months she demolished inferior opposition with a tidy win over 1300m at Illawarra Grange. Can go on with it this time in and will relish the conditions on her home track. TAKE FLIGHT (9) fourth-up for this and looks well placed with Chambers' claim. Can race a touch closer today and shapes as a genuine top-three player. BUTTON UP (6) hard in the market last start when he lost the rider over 1200m at Canberra. Drops in weight and his lone victory came on a heavy track. Improver. OCEAN EMPRESS (12) got off the mark in good style second-up over 1100m at Goulburn. Should handle the rise in trip and class at the each way odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Whoa Nellie and Take Flight should fight it out. |
