Track good 4 and rail true.
RACE 1
4. Itโs A Tata is a lightly raced three-year-old well placed to strike after a 17-week spell in just his third start. Made late ground on debut to miss narrowly at Narromine. Despite not trialling publicly, has been working well in a leading Dubbo stable and drawn to get the right run. 3. Blue De Beers is an impressive colt that went close at his second start in winter before spelling. Tuned up with a strong Dubbo trial, and is set to jump a short-priced favourite. 7. Vicious Rumour is another Dubbo visitor drawn low, and with a fitness edge fourth up. Gap to the rest, headed by 8. Indi Spring, which improves into her second start.
How to play it: Itโs A Tata to win.

RACE 2
2. Roma Green is a well-touted three-year-old on debut from the Bjorn Baker stable. By Snitzel and has been strong through the line in two trials. 4. Camilla is the likely favourite and big threat from the inside draw hard fit deep into the prep. Has beaten all bar the winner in four consecutive outings. 1. Aerostern Bro is a big market watch first up since late May behind two improving trials. 6. Bedda Mia draws well third up and can run into the minor money.
How to play it: Roma Green to win.
RACE 3
6. Vieste is an honest provincial mare that will appreciate a drop in class and back 300m in trip from a handy on-speed draw. Has a poor win record from 31 starts, but generally battled better fields than this all prep, and isnโt too badly weighted coming back from a BM64 at Wyong. 7. My Shareena is another improver from the Baker team that drops back from deeper provincial company third up. 3. Stay Tuned is well placed, drawn low and also slipping back from provincial opposition. 2. Ferrari Man is very fit and over the odds from the inside draw, with a superior jockey taking over, while 4. Drunken Sailor can figure in the minor money.
How to play it: Vieste to win.
RACE 4
2. Majestuoso Phoenix is a progressive enough four-year-old that maps well second up for the Ciaron Maher stable. Was coming off a 24-week spell when finding the line in a better field at Hawkesbury, and the extra 100m is right up his alley. 1. Marvel Man returns to the track where he last won, a BM58 back in mid-August. Sparingly raced since and always close up in the money, the past couple in stronger class. Carries the same weight here after the claim from a fighting CL3 effort at Mudgee. 5. Irish Jig is drawn to get a sweet run third up after tackling a hotter Magic Millions feature at Wyong. Doubt anything else can win, but include in trifecta and first fours 6. Ivana, third up from the inside gate, and 10. Lethal Love, which finished hard to win her maiden at Hawkesbury.
