1st Race @ 1.05pm
*Track Good 4 & Rail True:
*RACE 1 @ 1.05pm CHALLENGE COMMUNITY SERVICES MAIDEN HCP (1000m) - Min Weight 55.5kg; Apprentices Can Claim:
TOP SELECTION: 1. EXTREMELY PERFECT (Jacob Perrett/Jake Pracey-Holmes; 58kg & barrier 2) -we open the program with the maiden sprinters; and it shapes ideally for this 3YO by Extreme Choice who is banging on the door 4th-up behind a 6 week freshen-up. Weakened late from the front in a deeper maiden 3 starts back before being ridden a bit quieter and ran home okay at Tamworth. Then again found one better at Armidale as a short-price favourite when it was hard to make ground. Blinkers go on at the right time coming back a shade in trip; and hard fit he's the one to beat
DANGERS: 4. *Pivotal Miss; 5. *Daisy Duck; 6. **Go Russian
Likely Tempo: Good to Strong
My BET PLAN: EXTREMELY PERFECT to WIN & Trifecta: 1,6/1,4,5,6/1,4,5,6
*RACE 2 @ 1.45pm DISABILITY & AGED CARE SERVICES COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN PLATE (1200m) - Set Weights; Apprentices Can Claim:
TOP SELECTION: 8. TWICE AZ COOL (Rodney Northam/Ms Leeshelle Small a1.5kg; 57kg & barrier 2) -the maidens again at set weights over a furlong further; and confident this very lightly raced & improving 3YO by specialist sprint sire Cool Aza Beel can break through 2nd-up in his 1st full prep. Had more than a year off after a moderate debut at this course; but after plenty of education and a quiet trial; returned with a rock solid effort on speed at Scone behind a handy winner. That run reads well for this over a shade more ground; and naturally fitter from an advantaged low draw; he can open his account
DANGERS: 6. *Rock Emperor; 9. *Lobbyist; 10. *Pepperina
Likely Tempo: Solid
My BET PLAN: TWICE AZ COOL to WIN
*RACE 3 @ 2.20pm ARUMA SERVICES COUNTRY BOOSTED BENCHMARK 58 HCP (1000m) - Min Weight 55kg; Apprentices Can Claim:
TOP SELECTION: 1. VIERVILLE (Brett & Georgie Cavanough/Ms Jasmine Urquhart-Warren a4kg; 58.5kg & barrier 3) -back in trip here for the restricted sprinters; and very keen to back this tough & honest 4YO by Omaha Beach who is well placed deep into the current campaign. Found a CL4 Country C'ship Preview at Scone too tough 3 runs ago before a short break; then returned with a solid closing effort in a handy BM 66 at Armidale. Taken to the front 19 days ago in a deeper race at Taree & while missing a place; held on well in what was a blanket finish. Back to the 5 furlongs is a big plus now from a low draw; and he's well treated at the weights after the rookie jockey's 4kg claim
DANGERS: 2. *El Beatle; 3. **Golden Vader; 7. *Northern Bogey
Likely Tempo: Solid to Good
My BET PLAN: VIERVILLE to WIN & Quinella: 1 and 3
*RACE 4 @ 2.55pm MEL BROWN CATERING MAIDEN PLATE (1450m) - Set Weight; Apprentices Can Claim:
TOP SELECTION: 8. LUNA CRUISER (Jay Hopkins/Ms Shannen Lllewellyn a0kg; 57kg & barrier 9) -back with the maidens getting out over a longer journey at set weights; and in a race of a few chances; it stacks up best at the value for this provincial-based & improving 5YO mare by Puissance de Lune who can peak 2nd-up off a lengthy spell. Mixed her form through mainly deeper provincial maidens last prep; but was good to the line from midfield at big odds when resuming in a better maiden at Scone over 1300m. Naturally long overdue to break through ahead of her 25th start; but she's looking for this trip now; and bred to get further
DANGERS: 1 *Don't Share Shamus; 3. *Any Questions; 4. **Zorko; 13. *Pressiaire; 14. *Wild Legacy
Likely Tempo: Solid
My BET PLAN: LUNA CRUISER Each Way & First Four: 4,8/1,3,4,8,13,14/1,3,4,8,13,14/1,3,4,8,13,14
*RACE 5 @ 3.35pm WE CARE DISABILITY SERVICES BENCHMARK 58 HCP (1200m) - Min Weight 55kg; Apprentices Can Claim:
TOP SELECTION: 7. SIR HERRIDAH (Scott Singleton/Ms Mikayla Weir; 59.5kg & barrier 7) -the restricted sprinters lock horns again here; and in an open affair; rating on top is this lightly raced & progressive 4YO by fashionable sire Tassort who is ready to peak 3rd-up over a furlong further. Charged home to win a handy Super Maiden 1st-up at Dubbo before flopping as a short-priced favourite in a CL1 at Muswellbrook on a very shifty surface. Back on firmer footing in a race of less depth is the right recipe to claim a 2nd career win; again coming from off speed
DANGERS: 1. **He's My Warrior; 2. **Lord Of The Sun; 5. *My Angel Shell; 10. *The Mystery Guy
Likely Tempo: Solid
My BET PLAN: SIR HERRIDAH to WIN & Box Exacta: 1,2,7
*RACE 6 @ 4.10pm MURRAVALE RETIREMENT HOME BENCHMARK 66 HCP (1600m) - Min Weight 55kg; Apprentices Can Claim:
TOP SELECTION: 2. ZELESTIAL (Lyle Chandler/Jacob Stiff a2kg; 57.5kg & barrier 5) -up in grade we go for a good competitive battle over the mile; and rating on top is this talented & hard fit 5YO mare by Zoustar who can bounce back from a flop at Scone deep into the campaign. Swept home for a dominant win in weaker grade at Dubbo 4 starts ago before 2 mixed runs without much luck against similar BM 66 opposition at Taree and Armidale. Covered too much ground at her latest outing over 1700m against an on-speed pattern; and is much better suited here from a middle draw and with some weight relief. Can settle closer in the run on a preferred firmer surface; and crucially in a race of less depth
DANGERS: 4. *Piccaderro; 7. *Big Short; 8. **Think Back
Likely Tempo: Reasonable to Solid
My BET PLAN: ZELESTIAL to WIN & Trifecta: 2,8/2,4,7,8/2,4,7,8
*RACE 7 @ 4.50pm QUIRINDI RURAL HERITAGE VILLAGE CLASS 1 HCP (1100m) - Min Weight 55kg; Apprentices Can Claim:
TOP SELECTION: 7. FARNCIFUL (Jason Deamer/Ben Looker; 56kg & barrier 2) -we close the big day with the lower class sprinters; and very keen on this provincial-based & lightly raced 3YO filly by Farnan who is well placed to make it 2 wins from her last 3 & 4th-up in her 1st full prep. Let down nicely from midfield to claim her maiden 2 starts ago; before working home late in a deeper CL1 3 weeks back after being supported from $4.60 into $4.20. That run reads strong for this over 100m further; settling a bit closer in the run from a lower draw and with a key gear change
DANGERS: 2. *Currumbin Alley; 3. *Bent As Hell; 9. *Bonoyster
Likely Tempo: Solid
My BET PLAN: FARNCIFUL to WIN
**My BEST EARLY BETS:
R1 1. EXTREMELY PERFECT - Price Range: $3.25-$3.50; My Rating: $2.15

**My BEST EARLY EXOTICS:

R5 Box Exacta: 1,2,7
