Selections based on a good track.

Race 1 – 6PM DRINKWISE PLATE (1900 METRES)

7. Great White Shark was placed at Rosehill two starts ago, then ran at this track two weeks ago and looked home only to be run down late by Amusing. He steps up in distance for this and gets his chance to break through. Dangers: 3. Sounds Unusual was on debut at Newcastle and hit the line well when clear to run second. He looks talented and is not out of this. 8. Tempestry made his debut with a fourth at Newcastle, and while he was a fair way from the winner, he did enough to suggest he can be a factor up to this trip. 9. Lady Justice was placed at Kembla Grange when resuming from a spell and then ran well again when fourth at Wyong last time out. She should run well again.
How to play it: Great White Shark to win.

Racing heads to Canterbury on Friday.

Race 2 – 6.30PM BUY AN ARROWFIELD YEARLING HANDICAP (1250 METRES)

2. Goodlucktome was placed on debut at Kembla Grange before following a sixth at Rosehill with a fourth at Doomben and then being spelled. He’s had a trial at Hawkesbury to prepare for this and a forward showing is on the cards while he’s fresh. Dangers: 3. Hell To Pay hit the line well enough to finish third at this track two weeks ago when resuming, and he can play a part in the finish again with a repeat of that. 1. Maori Chief resumes from a spell here and was placed in each of his three starts earlier in the year when favourite in each of them. Expect him to sprint well fresh. 8. Tuileries was favourite when running sixth at Warwick Farm in April, and she resumes here on the back of a recent trial win.
How to play it: Goodlucktome each way.

Race 3 – 7PM QUAYCLEAN HANDICAP (1100 METRES)

1. Vanessi was a heavily backed favourite here two weeks ago and led and fought on well to finish second behind stablemate Inside Man. She’s drawn well here and should take plenty of beating again. Dangers: 2. Blanc De Noir made her debut at Hawkesbury in a Super Maiden and she battled on well to finish a close-up third. She should be better for that experience and give a good sight again. 7. Miss Jones is on debut but has been fitted for this with some good trial performances. 9. Regimental Colours disappointed here last time out but is capable of improvement.
How to play it: Vanessi to win.

Race 4 – 7.30PM THE AGENCY REAL ESTATE HANDICAP (1900 METRES)

3. Guzumped hit the line well when finishing fifth at Rosehill over a shorter trip and then was back to his best when scoring a strong win at Wyong over a mile last time out. He’s suited by the step up in trip here and he can play a part in the finish again. Dangers: 5. Like A Tiger ran well enough when a last-start fourth at this track and he races as though this distance will suit him. 12. Like Lukey has hit her straps of late having impressed when winning at Scone and Muswellbrook. She should run well again in this. 9. Heaven Bound disappointed here two weeks ago, but she is worth another chance.
How to play it: Guzumped each way.
