Racing & Sports expert selections.

RACE 1 - BLEDISLOE (4) is third-up and ready to show her best - the near miss at Canberra on debut. Was heavily bet last time and may have had excuses. In a strong local barn with Heywood is a key jockey booking. BEOGRAD BOY (2) was plain at Albury but missed a whisker at Canberra and the Sapphire Coast the two prior. Has the rail and is an each-way hope on the bounce. WHITE TIGHTS (10) brings two narrow defeats to peak. Has a handy gate and she will get every chance. SYDNEY GAL (9) is on a quick backup and showed enough early doors to consider at a price.

RACE 2 - REGION TIME (3) has been racing in better grade and go on the lip defeat at Canberra two back over a mile. The Canberra-trained galloper is suited. CHAOTIC BEAUTY (2) is a local who was back to form at Wagga. Has a handy claim and is a winning chance. MY BLUE JEANS (4) is also in strong local hands and has been knocking on the door. Will give away a start but will come hard. GREAT WEEK (6) finds winning hard but has claims in this lineup.

RACE 3 - SKIT 'N' SKAT (1) resumes over 1500m for a sharp Sydney barn. Just missed this trip at Kembla Grange on debut and pulled up with an issue there following also well bet. Has trialled well and is sure to have come on. Collett is a key jockey booking. BLOOMIN' READY (6) is in a strong local barn and came back to racing with a decent effort at Orange. He's improved and will give a sight racing handy. NOIR VITESSE (3) resumed at Wyong and needed the run. He will be fitter and showed enough his first preparation to say he can be very competitive. Stablemate MOSCA LUNA (8) peaks and has been racing in stronger Maidens. He can go better in this lineup.

RACE 4 - Neasham-trained KINGDOM OF LOGRES (1) started at a short quote and third-up was an easy 62 winner at Hawkesbury over 2000m. Races forward and is still to test here peaks, Has the 1.5kg claim and rates to win again. FINAL RESET (2) was given a decent hope in the same contest and a post-race was slow to recover. He narrowly missed at Newcastle before that over 1850m. Is back after 11 days so all must be in order. HEROMANIA (7) has been mixing trips but is racing well and is weighted on the limit. Keep Penza and can make the finish. BUFF MOBILE (8) goes in at good odds. Tumbles in weight and rates well off the Canberra effort last time.

RACE 5 - Competitive. SHE'S ALL IT (4) resumes and rates strongly off the Hawkesbury near-miss last time. Will be naturally improved and has trialled up well. Has an advantageous barrier and will be tough to beat. ZAMBEZI RIVER (1) is a leader who trialled sharply before finding one better at Wyong first-up. He will be fitter and is suited back to country level. Gets his chance. DE LUCA (6) placed at Scone on debut and it was a good effort. The longer sprint suits and she should be right in it. Stablemate READY TO SHINE (3) debuts owning a Warwick Farm trial win. Has an awkward gate but Collett is a positive jockey booking. Keep very safe.

RACE 6 - Tricky. The R & W Freedman-trained SHOWBOAT (4) was spelled off the debut win and needed the outing at Gosford first up in better class. Has a sticky barrier but will be much more competitive today. A winning chance. RUSH ATTACK (3) resumes off two soft trials. Was last seen leading and winning a Mudgee Maiden. In a top city barn and will have come on. Has a small claim and is hard to risk. STEELY GIRL (8) was second-up and at a short quote belted the Canberra Maidens by 2.3L. Maps for a soft run and fitter is a decent chance to repeat. ONEOFTHETWELVE (6) comes back in grade and is better than the form line suggests. Has the blinkers applied for the first time and Heywood back on is a positive. The local draws soft and a much-improved effort is anticipated.

RACE 7 - AUNTY GINNY (3) resumes and was last seen winning at Canberra on debut by 2.8L heavily-supported. The Smart Missile filly is sure to have come on and will take plenty of beating with Cahill sticking in the saddle. ZIPITALIST (2) will be better for the solid first-up effort at Canberra. His best would see him a quinella hope. ROSY SUE (9) led and won her Maiden heavily bet and then raced favourite at Canberra after and had no luck. She can sit closer today and get back on track. Each way. PROPHET TIME (7) is on a quick backup and is busting to win. She will get every chance from an inside draw.
