Race 1
-
Coyote
Coyote has shown consistent form with two straight thirds at Newcastle in his first two races back from a spell. He faced strong competition at Rosehill last time out and finished 10th, but was only 2.8 lengths behind the impressive winner Barrengarry. This performance suggests solid potential for a race like this, and Coyote has the opportunity to break through with another victory. -
Disco Prince
Disco Prince managed to place in the top positions at Tamworth two starts back and followed it up with a fourth-place finish at Muswellbrook. He is expected to run a forward race in this event. -
Real Housewives
Real Housewives struggled at Dubbo when finishing eighth two runs ago, but she bounced back with a strong victory at Armidale. She remains a contender in this race and deserves attention. -
Tokyo Queen
Tokyo Queen has been held back in her two starts since resuming from a spell but shows signs of improvement. Her potential should not be overlooked.
How to Play It:
- Coyote – WIN
Race 2
-
Dunquin
Dunquin has only three starts to his name but has consistently finished in the top three, including a third on debut at Port Macquarie. He was fourth at Wyong before a recent placing at Scone. His form is promising for this race. -
Grande Diablo
Grande Diablo had a tough time in his two starts at Scone and Muswellbrook. He resumes here after a second-place finish in a Scone trial. -
Dekka’s Latest
A former Victorian horse returning from a long spell for a new stable, Dekka’s Latest could be competitive without being a surprise. -
Litlfela
Litlfela finished fourth at Dubbo in his last start and has the potential to get into the placings.
How to Play It:
- Dunquin – WIN
Race 3
-
Fierceness
Fierceness has placed once in four starts, with a result at Kembla Grange last July. He is making his first start after a spell and has performed well in recent trials. Fierceness is well-positioned to run strongly. -
Marinera
Marinera is making her first start for a new stable and showed enough on debut to be given a chance in this race. -
The Magnet
The Magnet finished third at Wyong in her last start and could repeat that performance to secure a minor prize. -
Strassman
Strassman improved on a down-the-track effort at Dubbo by finishing second at Warren. A placing would not be surprising.
How to Play It:
- Fierceness – WIN
Race 4
-
Long Live
Long Live ran fourth on debut at Kembla Grange and followed it up with a fourth-place finish at Goulburn. He appears well-placed for this race. -
Six Kings
Six Kings has been midfield in his two city-grade starts and resumes here after two recent trials. -
Castro
Castro had four consecutive placings at Dubbo before finishing fifth at Orange in his latest start. He can return to the placings against these competitors. -
Miss Maverick
Miss Maverick has a series of recent placings and should be prominent from a good barrier.
How to Play It:
- Long Live – WIN
Race 5
-
Whateley
Whateley ran well when second-up from a spell, securing a third-place finish at Muswellbrook. The extra distance in this race should suit him, and he is a leading contender. -
Stockholm
Stockholm has won two in a row at Dubbo and is a strong favorite if he maintains his form. -
Flamboyant Lad
Flamboyant Lad has been close in his last two starts and is a place chance. -
Green Run
Green Run won convincingly at Dubbo in his last start and has claims for a repeat performance.
How to Play It:
- Whateley – EACH WAY
Race 6
-
Canamble
Canamble is a talented mare who has shown promise on her day. Although her form has been inconsistent, she secured a solid win at Scone four starts ago. She was mid-field at Gosford in her most recent race and could provide a good showing if the conditions are favorable. -
Jolly Good Fellow
Jolly Good Fellow is stepping down in grade after a sixth-place finish in a County Championships Qualifier at this track. He is expected to put in a bold performance. -
Cool Lad
Cool Lad was placed in a couple of races at Newcastle and was then spelled after a sixth-place finish at that track in October. He is fresh for this race. -
Wonder Step
Wonder Step was not far behind at Orange when resuming and warrants consideration.
How to Play It:
- Canamble – EACH WAY
Race 7
-
Transactions
Transactions was previously trained by Anthony and Sam Freedman in Victoria and demonstrated plenty of talent. He resumed from a spell with a strong victory at Corowa after a trial for a new stable. Transactions is on an upward spiral and could achieve a good result here. -
Girrawheen
Girrawheen ran a gallant race for a last-start second at Scone behind Shotgun Bella. If she performs to that level, she will be hard to beat. -
West Head
West Head won a couple of races at Coonamble and Narromine last June. He hasn’t raced since finishing sixth at Narromine in September and is worth watching fresh. -
The Contractor
The Contractor won at this track two starts ago and has since finished third at Cowra. Another forward performance is likely.
How to Play It:
- Transactions – WIN
Best Bets
- Race 3 (2) Fierceness
- Race 7 (1) Transactions
Best Value
- Race 6 (9) Canamble
