(Selections based on a heavy track)

1. Keysborough has only had eight starts and has shown his share of ability in those runs. He ran fourth at Wyong over 1000m when resuming and then backed that up with a win at the same track over the same distance when second-up from a spell. He gets his chance to go on with the job in this.

Dangers: 4. Mountain Chatter debuted at Canberra early last month and did the job well to score a solid win. He can figure prominently again with a repeat of that. 6. You Wish has shown ability and she should figure if she runs up to what she’s shown in her three runs. 5. Shelly’s Ace was a winner here last September and is far from the worst in this.

How to play it: Keysborough WIN.

4. Hold had been racing well before being spelled at Canberra before resuming from a break and looking good when hitting the line well to score a win. She looks to have plenty of ability and gets her chance to go on with the job here.

Dangers: 2. Bentley Brook won well enough at this track two starts ago before finishing second at Canberra when last produced. He should be in the firing line again here. 1. Miss Jennifer tackled Highway grade before being spelled and has run well in a trial leading into this. She should take plenty of beating. 7. Champagne In Lace was a resuming winner and could go on with the job now.

How to play it: Hold WIN.

4. Joyner is a filly on debut here and she comes into this on the back of a Canberra trial win. She should take plenty of beating here.

Dangers: 1. Kewell can improve on a resuming ninth at Hawkesbury. 2. Apic Run is on debut and is from a good stable and can be expected to run well, while 8. Mr Showman has the benefit of barrier one and should get a good run in transit.

How to play it: Joyner WIN.

7. Factoring Profit settled back in the field before hitting the line strongly to finish second at Queanbeyan at his latest start. He’s only won one from 22 but he’s been placed in a further eight starts and looks to have the talent to be able to give this race a shake.

Dangers: 1. Mulvader had solid form last campaign including a win at the Sapphire Coast before being spelled and resumed with a ninth at Newcastle. He strips fitter for that run and can be a sharp improver in this. 2. Point Out battled on well to hold on and score at Kembla Grange two starts ago and followed that up with a fifth at the same track last time out. 5. Maralago can be placed if he shows his best form.

How to play it: Factoring Profit EACH WAY.

3. Kissing Supido raced on the speed at Queanbeyan last time out and battled on strongly to hold on and score a solid victory. That was his third win from 16 starts and he did the job well enough in that event, albeit on a tighter track, to be rated one of the hardest to beat in this. He should push forward again and take plenty of running down.

Dangers: 2. Chop The Ice won on the Acton track and the course proper at Canberra last August and September then had a couple more runs before being spelled. He resumed with a solid second at Albury and is worth including among the main chances here. 4. Bold Julius was midfield at Wyong last time out after leading and must be considered again on that effort. 5. Proud Image has been thereabouts in her recent runs and is worth including among the main chances again.

How to play it: Kissing Supido EACH WAY.

6. Gradi debuted last July at Moruya and was midfield in that run. He resumed at this track in December when finishing fifth and resumes again here having been spelled following that run. This race looks suitable for him to make an impact in when resuming again.

Dangers: 4. Easement was first-up when sixth at Moruya and should run into the minor money here, while 3. Bounty By Night ran second at Canberra when resuming from a spell and looms as a contender. 10. Enament is resuming from a spell and should not be taken lightly.

How to play it: Gradi WIN.

14. Impending Harmony is still a maiden after 13 starts but hit the line well to finish third at Queanbeyan last time out. She steps up to the mile in this and that should suit.

Dangers: 1. Bo Bo Beware was returning from a break when finishing fifth at Canberra last month and he should appreciate the extra distance in this. 5. Devils Daughter has raced well in her two starts to date with a second on debut at Kembla Grange being followed by a fourth at Hawkesbury. 9. Stay Tuned is a stablemate of Devils Daughter and is ready to peak after a few runs back from a spell.

How to play it: Impending Harmony EACH WAY.

Best Bets:
Race 1 (1) Keysborough.
Race 4 (7) Factoring Profit.

Best Value:
Race 7 (14) Impending Harmony.
