Selections based on a heavy track.
Race 1
5. Son Of Rubick has been placed in three of four starts and has not raced since finishing last in a seven-horse race at Warwick Farm in April. He’s performed well in a trial leading into this and should be primed to run well. 8. Howdie Do It is on debut here and won a recent Canterbury trial. He looks set to perform well. 9. Spread The Love is a stablemate of Son Of Rubick and Howdie Do It, and he ran well in his only trial behind Blitzburg. 10. Classic Touch is a filly in debut and comes into this after a third in the same trial Son Of Rubick contested recently.

Race 2
12. Emilia Jane won a maiden at Newcastle in September of last year. She was not disgraced in four starts following that and resumes here after two solid trials. 6. King Taurus was down the track in a recent Highway at Rosehill, but is capable at best and can improve on that. 5. Wal’s Angels is resuming after two solid seconds in two trials and was placed at Canberra before the spell. 4. A Book Of Days is a last-start Moruya placegetter that warrants thought again on that effort.
How to play it: Emilia Jane each way.
Race 3
6. Magical Moments won a super maiden at Newcastle in December then ran second at Wyong before being spelled. She’s had three starts back from a spell and ran fifth in the latest of them at this track when beaten just over two lengths. 1. Dimitrov has had two runs back from a long spell for a third at Kembla Grange and a fifth at Canterbury. He is set to peak now. 5. Socrazyinlove resumes after two trials and has the talent to show up, while 2. Omnic was not far away when fifth at Gosford when resuming and warrants thought here.
How to play it: Magical Moments to win.

6. Mamushka looked good winning her first two starts at this track and Gosford earlier in the year before a fifth at Wyong when beaten less than two lengths and then being spelled. She resumes here after two trials and is primed to sprint well fresh. 1. Atelier has won three of six starts and has had two trials to prepare for this first-up assignment. 3. Martini Mumma followed a third at Rosehill two starts ago with a last-start sixth at the same track. 12. Bessie La Belle won well at Wagga when past produced and has a good overall record.
