Track Good 4 and rail out 3.5m 500m to 300m into a cut/away rail.

RACE 1

4. Bushwalker is trained on the track, bred to get further and peaks third-up. Hit the line hard 13 days back in a useful maiden at Dubbo, drawn to find a handy trail, and winkers go on. 1. Cougars resumes off a 19-week spell and soft trial for a leading Canberra stable. 3. Southern Deel is a progressive mare, and also first-up for only her second start behind a dominant trial win. 6. Penrose held her ground okay on debut, and can settle better here with the blinkers off.

RACE 2

3. Prophet’s Magic is well-placed third-up from the inside draw. Rushed home to win his maiden first-up at Gundagai before again hitting the line hard in a race with more depth. Carries 1kg less in Class 1 company. 2. Gecko Coin is a lightly raced and honest six-year-old who found the line well when resuming in similar class. 4. Dark Vader must be respected, finding a thinner race fourth-up for a strong trainer/jockey combination. 5. Amantaka is over the odds third-up with a weight claim, and coming through a deeper Class 1 at Dubbo. 1. Takeover Artist resumes off two trials, and is drawn to get cover.

RACE 3

7. Shadow Shot is a still lightly raced five-year-old, and can make it two straight wins, stepping up significantly in distance third-up. Was dominant running home strong to beat a handy BM 58 field at Dubbo, and primed to run this out for a good country stable. 8. Crusheen Lass is a metro-based mare who charged home to win her maiden at Mudgee second-up under 58kg after being backed from $3.90 into $3.50. Well suited over this trip being by a Victoria Derby winner. Keep safe 4. Where Is Ken who draws the fence, and gets a significant class drop. 5. Avalicious has been up for a long time but continues to race well, only being run down narrowly at Dubbo 13 days ago. 6. Hot Gospel who hasn’t finished further back than third in her last four, and 9. On The Decs who was only a bit over two lengths from the top selection; both go in trifecta and first fours.

RACE 4

5. Merchant Lady is a progressive and talented metro mare, well-placed to claim a third win. Has hit the line nicely in two provincial runs this prep, winkers go on, and she looks fairly treated at the weights in BM 74 country grade. 3. Champions League is fit coming back from the deeper Queanbeyan Cup. 9. Smarter Than You is the other leading contender third-up on a significant weight drop. 1. Sea Of Flames has gone back to the trials after an even effort in the Narromine Cup, but weighted to his best even after the claim.
