Track good 4 and rail out 4m from 900m to 300m and true the remainder.
Race 1
8. Miss Rapide is a debutant filly by speed sire Supido in the Clint Lundholm stable at Dubbo. She can start her career with a bang despite drawing the outside barrier. Was good through the line in a recent trial in soft ground. 1. Brummagen is a tough improver looming to peak second-up and has enough tactical speed to off-set the wide draw. 4. Dendina is a natural market watch resuming for only her second start off a very long break and has trialled OK. 9. Parissident is very honest, placing in three of her last four runs. 7. Miss Karis, having her first run for the new Dubbo stable off a two-month break, and 10. Ufana, narrowly beaten in a weaker maiden when resuming, can both run into the minor money.
How to play it: Miss Rapide to win.
Race 2
3. Too Darn Lovely has superior tactical speed and will relish the drop back in trip to the flying short course. Easily beat a much better sprint field at Quirindi two starts ago before weakening late in deeper company at Muswellbrook three weeks ago. Gets the right sort of freshen-up and draws to zoom forward and lead them a merry dance, importantly back on firmer ground. 4. Charlie Magic is a tough sprinter which resumes with no public trials, but is in a good yard and can come to hand quickly. 6. Super Sioux is also well placed fourth-up from a handy on-speed draw and has won three from eight. 1. Cumboogle drops in grade and trip, but still has a task carrying a big weight with a rookie rider aboard from a wide draw. 9. Desirious bolted in over this short distance three starts back and has been competitive enough in two runs since. 2. Joanneski has won three on the bounce from off-speed, albeit against weak opposition. 7. Hard Too Impress, resuming with no official trials, and 8. Jo Jo Sun, well into his prep, both go in all wider exotic plays.

Race 3
13. The Git Up, also accepted for the next race, is a tough mare very stiff not to have broken through already this campaign, three times in the placings from four outings. Has twice run home well in better races than this poor line-up,and sneaks a little further down in the weights. 8. Hefty Price is bursting to break through ahead of his 18th start, having placed nine times. Has been close-up in his last three against better opposition, gets in light after the jockeyโs claim, and significantly is on a seven-day back-up. 9. Bold Bender similarly is edging towards a breakthrough win deep into the prep, having placed eight times from 24 starts. 2. My Boy Scout improves sharply at his second start, with key gear changes. 3. Misrosa, a filly by Smart Missile, debuts behind a steady Dubbo trial, while 10. Tiny Missile is best the best of the rest third-up from a handy trailing draw.
