Dangers: 2. Chateaux Park is racing in top form with win over this course three weeks ago, then a game second at Randwick up to 2400m. Will go back as usual and be hitting the line strongly, should hold his form and be around the mark. 6. Karmazone’s form ties in with Chateaux Park having run a close second to that horse recently. Honest type who will be competitive with a weight swing in his favour. 5. Whangaehu is struggling to win one at the moment but he wasn’t disgraced behind Kirkeby two runs ago before leading at Rosehill and dropping out. Bobs up so can’t leave him out of the chances.
How to play it: The Milkybar Kid WIN; Trifecta 1/ 2,5,6/2,5,6.

Race 4 - 3:10PM RANVET HANDICAP (1600 METRES)

1. Hollywood Hero was far from disgraced after leading over the Randwick mile last time, he was only reeled in at the 100m and beaten a couple of lengths. Two previous efforts from just off the pace were strong and isn’t badly in with just 4.5kg over the limit. Chance to bounce back.

Dangers: 4. Lolly Yeats improved nicely second-up then consolidated with an all-the-way win over this course three weeks ago as favourite. Form out of that race has been fair but she’ll give herself every hope. 5. Eastern Glow shapes as a big improver after beating one home second-up at Rosehill. Was 1100m up to 1400m there off a slashing resumption and should appreciate getting out to the mile now. Go well. 9. Sophia’s Magic has been mixing her form. Effort two runs back at Randwick would put her in the finish somewhere but she disappointed at Canterbury when well supported two weeks back. Take on trust.
How to play it: Hollywood Hero WIN; Trifecta 1/ 4,5,9/4,5,9.

Race 5 - 3:45PM HEADWATER @ VINERY STUD HANDICAP (1300 METRES)

10. Orzala is an up and comer who was excellent when resuming at Newcastle a few weeks ago. She was a drifter in betting there but attacked the line nicely late, suggesting she’s come back well and is looking for more ground. Every chance to back that up here.

Dangers: 7. Coriolis started a solid enough favourite at Canterbury off a month’s break but didn’t quite dash as expected from worse than midfield. Made up ground, so likely to be fitter for it and worth another chance. 8. Outsider has been runner-up at her past two starts over the mile at this track and comes back 300m in trip here. Whether that’s against her remains to be seen but barrier two and Nash says she’ll be competitive. 6. Zorocat found her form again with a game front-running third at Canterbury in the same race as Coriolis. Needs to back that up but likely leads again and has a case.

How to play it: Orzala WIN; Trifecta 10/6,7,8/6,7,8.

Race 6 - 4:20PM ACY SECURITIES HANDICAP (1300 METRES)

11. Stars And Bars might be over the odds here on the back of a luckless fifth in a similar sort of race behind Marquess a few weeks ago. Not sure where he finishes but it’s closer than 1.9 lengths. Well worth another chance each-way.

Dangers: 7. Silvanito ran up to the support when downing Orzala to win at Newcastle third-up. Has a wide gate here but that’s not necessarily a bad thing at this start point and Nash does ride this track well. Must be respected. 9. Whinchat bounced back to his best form with an all-the-way win at Canterbury two weeks ago and likely to try the same tactics from a nice draw here. If he can hold that form, he’s in the finish. 10. Atlantic Ocean has been well supported in his past two starts for a narrow Kensington second and an even effort behind Whinchat last time. Has been costly but if the breaks fall his way he could be in the finish again.
How to play it: Stars And Bars E/W.

Race 7 - 4:55PM TAB HANDICAP (1100 METRES)

4. Lavish Empire has his first start for the Snowdens since scoring over this course back in May. Liked his recent trial and he’s shown some talent in his five starts to date. Draws OK, support would be significant, and he should run well.

Loading

Dangers: 6. Silentsar started double-figure odds when leading all the way under 61kg at Canterbury first-up. Imagine he will press to lead again and give a good account up in grade. 13. Jedibeel will need a bit of luck from the draw but it is a straight run to the turn. Looked the winner first-up only for a freakish finish from Dancing Alone at Kembla to deny him. One of the chances. 12. Sovereign Fund resumes as a gelding and this is a decent class drop on what he’s been contesting. Just fair last time behind Ozzmosis but has trialled well since then and is one to keep safe.
How to play it: Lavish Empire WIN.
