Selections based on a soft track.
Race 1
3. Jagerbomb broke through with a maiden win at Kembla Grange when last produced and had finished third in two starts at Wyong and Goulburn before that. He looks promising and can go on with the job here. 6. Webejamin wasn’t far away in a Midway event at Randwick at her latest start and bears close watching again. 5. Heron has a win and five placings from nine starts and shouldn’t be underestimated in this, while 8. My Greek God wasn’t beaten far at Kembla Grange when last produced and is not out of this.
How to play it: Jagerbomb WIN.

Race 2
6. Magenta Skies is a well-bred filly that debuted with a third at this track when beaten just over a length. She should be better for that experience and set to go on with the job here. 2. Lady Pankhurst ran in the Reisling Stakes behind Tempted on debut, and she’s been placed in two of five starts. 4. Edge Of Infinity debuted with a third placing, and another forward showing would not surprise. 5. Lauper finished second when resuming at Kembla Grange and is not out of this.
How to play it: Magenta Skies WIN.
Race 3
5. Tuscany is lightly raced with four starts to his name and has a second among them. He comes into this after a last start fourth at Warwick Farm and should be primed to perform well here. 4. Decorum debuted with a second at Warwick Farm in the same race Tuscany finished fourth in. 1. Buckenara has been placed in two of four starts and warrants respect here first-up from a spell after two trials, while 8. Columbus is on debut and has had a good grounding from a number of trials.
How to play it: Tuscany WIN.
Race 4
5. Wal’s Me Mate has returned to racing in great form, having won two from two since resuming from a spell. He had a great overall record and should be primed to finish in the major end of the money again. 2. Rantan has a good winning record with four wins from 14 starts and comes into this on the back of a last start Warwick Farm win. He should be in the thick of things again. 6. Durova has won her latest two starts at Dubbo and Tamworth and isn’t out of this, while 10. Written Scandal has two wins and a second to her name and can show up here if she holds that form.
How to play it: Wal’s Me Mate WIN.
