Selections based on a soft track.
Race 1
8. Zing To Me is a talented Capitalist mare that has five seconds to her name from eight starts. She ran home well at this track when a resuming second behind Manukau and should have derived benefit from that effort. She’s from a form stable and looks poised to break through. 6. Plume made her race debut in the same race Zing To Me contested last time out and ran a creditable fourth. She looks to have the talent to be able to give this a shake. 5. My Proclama has been placed in all four of her starts to date with two seconds and two thirds. She resumes here after two trials and won the latest of them at Warwick Farm. Expect her to be in the thick of things again. 3. All Saints ran well enough when second at this track when last produced and warrants respect on that effort.
How to play it: Zing To Me WIN.

Race 2
5. Waerea had two starts last September and October and finished second in each of them at this track. He hit the line in each of those runs and has had two trials leading into this return to racing. He can return with a victory. 11. Coco Dior resumed from a spell with a solid fourth at Canterbury and she only needs to run up to that to be hard to beat against these. 8. She’s A Dame ran home well late when third at Gosford when first-up from a spell and warrants respect, while 4. Barrengarry ran fourth at Nowra on debut and resumes here after one trial.
How to play it: Waerea WIN.
Race 3
4. Bugatte was midfield on debut at Warwick Farm in October and then had a break before resuming with a fourth on the Beaumont track at Newcastle after two trials. He will be better for that hit-out and has the benefit of an apprentice allowance in this. 3. Amalfi Coast is on debut after a number of trials and has the grounding to run a bold race here after a latest third in a Warwick Farm hit-out. 11. Chispa ran second in the same race Bugatte contested last time out and should run a forward race again, while 1. El Qasabi ran well when a last start second at Wyong and has been placed in four of six starts.
How to play it: Bugatte EACH WAY.
Race 4
3. Tavolo comes into this after a last start fourth behind stablemate Craving Magic in a Federal at Canberra. He’s a winner of five from 24 with a further four placings and can bounce back to winning form. 5. Exceed Perfection ran well when fourth at this track when last produced and should be prominent from the good draw. 6. Mah Ali hasn’t been far away in her four most recent runs and warrants thought, while 2. Belleistic Kids can improve on a last start Bega Cup effort.
How to play it: Tavolo WIN.
Race 5
2. Ready To Shine had been racing well when just behind the placings in a couple of runs in May at the end of last preparation before having two trials and then resuming with a close-up sixth at Canterbury. He should have derived benefit from that hit-out and gets his chance here. 1. Allapercanto has shown talent on her day and resumes here after two trials. 3. Greyt Thinker is also resuming and is a recent trial winner at this track in preparation. 11. Pretty Tavi ran well when fourth at Canterbury last time out and bears close watching.
How to play it: Ready To Shine WIN.
Race 6
6. Titanium Miss was back to winning form when scoring a good victory at Warwick Farm on Australia Day. She finished off well in that event to score and this looks well within her reach again. 1. Equilibrist finished off nicely to score a win at this track when last produced and a repeat of that would have him right in the firing line again. 9. Craving Magic is talented at best and won in good style at Canberra when last produced. He can show up without surprising. 8. Commanding Artist followed a second at Canterbury with a last start fifth at the same track and is not without claims in this line-up.
How to play it: Titanium Miss WIN.
Race 7
3. Easiest Choice ran third at Newcastle on debut last July and was then spelled. She had two trials before resuming at Newcastle late last month and she did the job well to score in that event. She can go on with the job in this. 8. Magical Moments ran well when resuming with a fourth at this track and has the ability to get into the placings in this without surprising. 2. Tsarevich charged to the line late from an impossible position to win here last time out and he must be considered again on the strength of that performance. 6. Just Like Tilda was a debut winner at this track before a sixth at Wagga and then being spelled. She resumes here and is capable of showing up.
How to play it: Easiest Choice WIN.
