RACE 4 - 3.10PM: PIONEER SERVICES CLASS 1 HANDICAP (1000m)

1. Fashion Legend resumes after two solid trials and hit the line hard to win a recent heat at Kensington. The gelding raced consistently in his first preparation in time/sectional merit events and brings superior form lines. In addition, he looks to have come back improved and expect him to savage the line.
Dangers: 2. Shadow Vampire is a 1000m specialist and broke through for his maiden win at Kembla last start. Moreover, the second placegetter in that event, Iowna Merc, has since won. He has a fitness edge, and a senior rider goes on. 5. Inequality was wide first-up and battled on OK. He can bounce back and can rate to win. Add 3. Bottom Bar who is an honest type and can give a sight.
How to play it: Fashion Legend to win.
Odds and Evens: Split.

RACE 5 - 3.50PM: XXXX GOLD F&M BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP (1500m)

1. Chenin had excuses first-up in stronger grade at Kensington and battled on fairly for fifth place. The four-year-old can bounce back with the blinkers coming off and will undoubtedly be fitter from that effort. Last prep, she contested listed and group races, and her last win came at this track. Expect her to roll forward and run boldly.
Dangers: 2. Not Negotiating, who represents value, had no luck last start in the Little Dance (1600m) at Randwick. The seven-year-old is reaching peak fitness, maps to have all favours and can improve significantly here. Additionally, she gets in well at the weights after the claim and can rate to win. 7. Opito Ballerina is rock hard fit and racing well/consistently. 3. Tavi L’amour is more suited on a wet track but receives blinkers for the first time.
How to play it: Chenin to win.
Odds and Evens: Split.

RACE 6 - 4.30PM: BLAKES MARINE MIDWAY BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP (2000m)

2. Kingdom Of Gold, who profiles well for this race, is the only last-start winner and is proven over the distance. The four-year-old relished the high-pressure event at Gosford 12 days ago and excelled being back onto a dry surface. Further, repeating that performance/figure will put him in the finish, and he draws perfectly.
Dangers: 4. Moon Stories is improving throughout his campaign and looks set to produce a peak performance. He receives a gear change and the step-up in distance suits. 6. Kozluca wasn’t suited last start and can bounce back here. Add 3. White Boots to trifectas and first fours.
How to play it: Kingdom Of Gold to win.
Odds and Evens: Evens.

RACE 7 - 5.10PM: LANDER TOYOTA CONDITIONAL BENCHMARK 68 HANDICAP (1300m)

8. The Maxinator wasn’t suited first-up at Kembla 16 days ago and ran on OK. He’ll be fitter for that effort, receives a gear change and expect an aggressive ride from the soft draw. In addition, Jason Collett goes on and last prep he won at this track/distance. Each-way.
Dangers: 5. All Machiavellian can bounce back with a quieter ride here and receives a key gear change. Some query back in distance, but he has the ability/figures to win this. 1. Rebel County resumes and has trialled well enough over 1030m at Rosehill recently. He has strong form lines, is a
consistent type and is drawn well to run a bold race first up. 2. Silver City and 3. Flying Sultan step up in grade but bring winning form.
How to play it: The Maxinator each-way.
Odds and Evens: Split.

RACE 8 - 5.50PM: BLACKTOWN WORKERS CLUB GROUP CG&E BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP (1500m)

Loading

3. Rosovo started a $4 favourite at this track/distance last start but just got too far back in the run. Moreover, he ran on well and kept building to the line, suggesting he is ready to peak third-up. The gelding has a tricky set-up, but the anticipated genuine tempo will give him his chance, and he brings a competitive ratings profile.
Dangers: 13. Tenderize finally struck a dry track and broke through for his maiden win at this track/distance 14 days ago. Further, repeating that performance/figure can put him in the finish, and he will roll forward. 7. Altivo was run to suit but made significant ground to score on debut at Newcastle. He can step off that performance, and the rise in distance is ideal. 9. Surfers Royale is rock-hard fit and add 4. Duke Of Buckingham who receives a gear change.
How to play it: Rosovo and Tenderize both to win.
Odds and Evens: Odds.

Best Bet: Race 2 (8) Let’s Try
Next Best: Race 6 (2) Kingdom Of Gold
Best Value: Race 8 (3) Rosovo and (13) Tenderize
