Racing & Sports expert selections.

RACE 1 - KELANOA (7) resumes here but the form she showed before the spell was good enough to play a prominent role in a race like this. Has placed one from one around this circuit and can run a big race while fresh. DARE TO LOVE (5) has placed over this track and trip, draws low and gets 2kg off with the claim. Ticks plenty of boxes. BRAIDWOOD QUEEN (13) was a close-up second last time out in a career-best performance and is another to get some weight relief. Top-three conveyance. PLAY IT AS IT LAYS (9) has been given some time to furnish since her debut and must be respected from the Munce barn. Can return in winning order. SUSPICIOUS LOVE (8) is facing the starter for the first time and any market confidence must be noted.

RACE 2 - ESJAY (2) didn't measure up in town last time out but the two wins prior were full of merit. Will find this assignment much more to his liking and a return to form would not surprise. The well-related SIR CARTER (4) (half to G2 winner Oak Door) is a winner over this track and trip, strips fitter second-up from the spell and gets 2kg off with the claim. Looms as the main danger. LITTLE VISTA (5) will be rock-hard fit for this and can feature with any luck in running. IT'S RAINING AGAIN (6) Is back from a spell after showing plenty of ability in the maiden campaign, registering two wins from eight starts. Shapes well and worth following up.

RACE 3 - SOCIAL STAR (3) is racing in a rich vein of form this campaign with a win and three top-four performances from four outings and strikes a very winnable contest here. Winning hoop Tilley stays on board and looks the one they all have to run down. FAT FINGERS (6) doesn't win out of turn but is usually thereabouts and has placed around this circuit. Finds a suitable contest here and rates a serious danger. CONQUISTADORES (1) strips fitter second-up from the spell and saves his best form for this mile journey. Top-three candidate. DO IT FOR YOU (2) will be at peak fitness for this and may earn some minor money. KASEAR (8) best of the rest.

RACE 4 - JAIN (15) has hit a purple patch of form with two wins and three placings from her past five outings and is racing with a lot of confidence. Hard to ignore mares in form and rates the testing material against this line-up. UNO MOON (2) returned in good order with a win over this track and trip and is drawn to get a soft run in transit from the inside marble. Expected to feature prominently. BETTER THAN BOOZE (5) is another first-up winner and doesn't know how to run a bad race. Has to be considered while fresh. Former Victorian GYPSY TRICKS (4) rounds out the selections.

RACE 5 - PRIVATE BANKER (1) has a very good second-up record and gets 2kg weight relief with the claim. In the mix. HIT 'EM UP (3) ran well last start when second at this track over 1400m on soft going. Looks the testing material. GRANNY'S REWARD (4) has notched up two wins from four starts at Gatton, expected to run well again. COMMAND APPROVED (2) can improve third-up.

RACE 6 - NOT A GURU (7) put the writing on the wall for this with a runner-up finish at Grafton last time out and Mallyon sticks in the irons from the favourable draw. Strips fitter fourth-up from the spell and looks the one they all have to run down. PEACH GALANTES (5) is knocking on the door of a maiden victory with three consecutive placings including two over this track and trip. Right in this from the inside alley. ELLEYANNA (11) is better than recent efforts suggest and can feature if she brings her A-game. LION'S PRIDE (3) will be fitter for recent racing and draws well. In the mix.

RACE 7 - Tricky affair to close out the card. YAMUMZA (3) just missed the placings when resuming and will have come on with that run now under the belt. Has won second-up before and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. DUNTROON LASS (5) placed over this track and trip last time out and is sure to get a cosy run from gate two. Strips fitter second-up and rates a serious contender. ROCONONO (2) finished fifth last start over 1100m at this track. Has ability and is expected to run well. HUMAN TOUCH (7) resumes from a break of eight months. Has featured first-up previously and is in the mix.
