Racing & Sports expert selections.

RACE 1 - LE FORCE (1) peaks off the narrow defeat here in a 65 over this trip. He has the blinkers reapplied and keeps the 3kg claim. He can go one better. FROZEN PRINCE (2) beat the above home in that contest. The 2kg claim helps with some of the weight rise and back-to-back successes can't ruled out. ONCHAO (4) delivered a CL6 on the same day over 1200m. Lifted his figures and he's a hope. REAL EMPRESS (7) has plenty of weight relief and that brings her right into it. No knock on the form.

RACE 2 - BENEVENTO (1) is a former Victorian and he led here first-up for the new barn easily winning his Maiden. He has a handy 2kg claim today and more to give. Fitter and tough to beat. JAKAZONE (3) won here this grade and then placed after. Maps well and he has a handy 3kg claim. On a quick backup and is a decent chance to bounce. DISPUTE (2) was just beaten behind Jakazone and finally has a low barrier. He can't be ruled out. MALABAR PRINCE (10) spiked his figures winning by a space at Julia Creek. He'd be right in it holding that form.

RACE 3 - PARISIAN ROCKSTAR (5) resumes and following a stable change made the placings in all three starts last preparation, He was well shy of his peaks and no surprise if he comes back better. Maps well and has a 1.5kg claim. GEORGY THE GREAT (2) got much closer as favourite at Julia Creek and can fight out the finish. LIGHT UP THE DAWN (6) resumed for a new stable in the same race finishing just behind the above. Fitter but she has an awkward barrier to manage. ELECTRIC HASHMAL (1) is going well enough to consider.

RACE 4 - FIFTY CARATS (7) was narrowly beaten on the Gold Coast poly and then switched barns and belted the 45 graders here by 7L. She runs along and gets in well keeping the 3kg claim. Draws inside and stripping fitter she should be winning again. MISTER MODERATION (5) resumed in good order winning a 50 at Julia Creek. He's proven second up and maps well. He will be better for that and is a quinella chance. HI ZERO (8) was plain from an awkward gate last time but went close the two prior and that form would see him in the placings at a price. THECHAMP (2) peaks and forgive his latest where he pulled up with an issue in stronger grade. Benefits from a 2kg claim and he has pieces of form that would see him competitive.

RACE 5 - THE BROTHERHOOD (7) deserved the big 70 win but put in a plain one after at this level. Has a handy 2kg claim today and the longer sprint shouldn't disadvantage. He can bounce back. HAN DYNASTY (1) won that contest and has returned to racing better. The above is better performed but the 4kg claim brings him right into it. The outside barrier is a niggle. READY FOR MAGIC (3) switched from a Rockhampton yard but didn't get warm at Julia Creek. His form prior stacks right up and he is worth a look at a price. GREENHEART (9) is going well enough to get some of the money.

RACE 6 - DEFINITELY FAMOUS (7) was heavily bet here 24 days ago and was never in the picture (vet cleared). That was completely out of character and she deserves another chance. The 2kg claim remains handy but she will need a good ride from an outside barrier. SKYLIGHT SONG (1) led beaten a whisker at Townsville two back and assess his chances on that effort. Has the blinkers applied again and he has the early speed to clear the wide gate. He's changed yards and rates a serious player. OUR BENEFIT (4) went close at Cornfield following the switch from the Tom Button yard. His Maiden win at Mackay four back reads well and he benefits from a 3kg claim courtesy of an in-form apprentice. REVVED UP READY (5) keeps a 2kg claim and is going well. Consider on the quick backup.

RACE 7 - JUST STOP IT (6) led and won easily here this grade/trip 24 days ago. He keeps improving and draws to advantage. Carries just 1kg more and can go on with the job. RESTRICTIONS (7) has switched barns on a 46-day return. Disappointed as an equal favourite at Scone last time but just missed at Hawkesbury first up in a 64. He's well placed with the 2kg claim and has the early speed to manage the awkward barrier. Just needs to be well-settled and manage the surface. CAMPEEDO (4) resumed here in good order and is a second-up winner with more to give. LA PETITE MISSILE (9) resumes for a new yard and has been racing in stronger. Has the blinkers first-time applied and is proven fresh. She's been off the scene for a long while and that's a query.
