Selections based on a good track.
Race 1
1. Baja Baby trialled well twice before making her debut and running a solid race to finish second at Kembla Grange. Sheโs from a form stable and only needs to run up to that debut effort to be difficult to hold out here. 3. Explicit ran well when a last-start third on the Kensington track at Randwick and can show up again with a repeat. 4. Viva Mauricio ran fifth in the same race as Explicit last time out and was placed here before that. 5. Equinox Legend charged home late to be placed at Warwick Farm last time out and warrants respect.
How to play it: Baja Baby to win.

Race 2
1. Alphard had two starts in July and was just behind the placings in each of them at this track and at Rosehill. He resumes here after two trials and is set to sprint well fresh. 8. Impuriteze has been placed in both runs since resuming from a spell and can get into the placings again in this. 4. Springsteed is on debut and has had three trials in preparation. He bears close watching. 6. Chispa is a filly having her first start, and she has had a number of trials in preparation.
How to play it: Alphard to win.
Race 3
3. Stormland has had two runs back from a spell and followed a resuming place with a strong finishing victory at this track when flying home last time out. He has plenty of upside and can win again. 4. Agarwood contested better class races when last in work and has had a couple of trials in readiness for this return. She has the class to return in good form. 6. Albany Road was a winner at Grafton before being spelled and resumed with a solid win on the Kensington track. This looks in his grasp as well. 5. Ready To Shine resumes from a spell here and has the talent to get into the money.
How to play it: Stormland to win.
Race 4
8. Johnny has a good record with a win and two placings from five starts. He resumed from a break with a solid fourth behind Miss Freelove at the Good Coast and should find this easier. 7. Extra Heights won in good style here when second up from a spell and looks capable of going on with the job. 2. Sovereign Hill had things made to order when scoring here last time out and should take running down again. 10. Watson won in good style at Kembla Grange when resuming and can give a bold sight again.
How to play it: Johnny to win.
