Track Heavy 9 and rail out 4m

Race 1 - 12:00PM VARLEY GROUP 3YO&UP MAIDEN HANDICAP (900 METRES)

1. Pratt is an emerging three-year-old resuming off two strong trials on the Beaumont circuit here, and is bred to thrive in heavy ground. Was competitive enough in deeper races in that initial campaign, and looks to have this lot covered, especially with a leading and trial-winning rider in the saddle. 8. Perasta is also trained on the course, and can improvely sharply after doing nothing first-up. Another local 2. Enchanted World is a filly on debut for the home track Kris Lees stable, and has been given plenty of time at the trials. Gap to the rest.

Race 2 - 12:35PM CLICKK MIDWAY 2YO MAIDEN PLATE (900 METRES)

3. Tyrone's Power will likely jump a hot favorite in a thin race off a solid second start run at Warwick Farm in soft ground. Carries only 1kg more here coming back to a much weaker juvenile race, and drawn to get the right trail just off speed. 8. Scarlet Monarch, with an edge in fitness fourth-up; can run the quinella; while watching the betting on 4. All The Way Mae, a filly by Yes Yes Yes on debut for the Kerry Parker yard at Kembla behind an easy trial.

Race 3 - 1:10PM COASTAL ADVICE GROUP BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP (900 METRES)

10. Prima Bella is a capable & still lightly raced metropolitan mare resuming off two trials, winning the former in heavy ground by a big margin. Returned off a long break and debut win to find the line okay in consecutive CL1 runs last spring before spelling. Relishes wet tracks, and given her early tactical speed, the short course trip is ideal. 5. Hawker Hall is an exciting local who has to overcome a wide gate, but blew away his opposition in heavy ground here a month ago as the hottest of favourites before kept ticking over with the easiest of trial wins. Keep safe 2. Kiribati who also returns off a sound trial with an important gear change, and comes to hand quickly. 14. One Kind is a tough mare who has run home into a place in all three runs this prep. 6. Markwell Dreamer who draws the fence first-up behind two progressive trials is an each way chance.

Race 4 - 1:50PM DARREN FARRELLY MEMORIAL (HMF CUP) CUP C1 & MAIDEN (2230M)

7. Tommy Thug is a tough metropolitan five-year-old who is bursting to break through well into the prep in what is now a thinner racece. Mixed his form in two heavy track runs here, found to have cardiac arrhythmia from the latter, before only missing by a neck in a stronger race at Hawkesbury, and the winner has since scored easily again. Has placed eight times from 13 starts, and draws to get a soft run right behind the speed. 1. De Louviere is honest and has been in and around the money all prep. 3. Juan Pablo was dominant last start after tracking the speed in a weaker country affair. 8. Bearings third-up can figure in the minor money.

Race 5 - 2:25PM DAMAR MINYAK DF SUPER 3YO&UP MAIDEN PLATE (1400 METRES)

3. Blue Willow, a well-bred and fitter Godolphin filly, can peak at her third start over more ground. 4. Invisible Magic improves into her second start. 7. Lune D'excellence second-up over a shade further can run into the money; while 7. Oakfield Zena second-up heads the rest.

Race 6 - 3:05PM AARON WALTER CENTURY 21 EDGEWORTH F&M BM64 (1250 METRES)

4. She Conquers is a progressive filly who can go back-to-back fourth-up. Worked home okay in two Midway CL1 races before finishing best to claim an all-comers BM 64 at Kembla. Unproven in heavy ground, but is bred to handle it, and comes back to fillies and mares company here. 5. Divine Vicky has plenty of ability and has charged home late in her last two at Kembla, but hasn't won for a while. 6. Lunaite is an emerging filly who bolted in her maiden here on a Heavy 10 23 days ago; while 2. Motoscafo and 7. Reducio are also in the each way mix.

Race 7 - 3:40PM NEWCASTLE SKIN CHECK CG&E BM64 HANDICAP (1250 METRES)

9. Ceasefire is terrific value coming back 100m in distance third-up. Has tracked the speed before working home into a place in two runs this prep, the latest a classier BM 64 line-up, and is right at home on wet tracks. Over the odds. 10. Cool Lad is a tough customer who leads several threats third-up off a long break. 1. Mural Crown is ready to peak third-up despite drawing wide. 6. French Marine draws wide, but still over the odds second-up with a significant jockey change and on ground he relishes. Include 5. Commanding Artist resuming from a soft draw off two quiet trials; in all exotic plays.

Race 8 - 4:15PM FULTON HOGAN PROVINCIAL BENCHMARK 68 HANDICAP (1870 METRES)

1. Dreamdeel is tough and fit, and gets a timely rise in trip behind a narrow BM 64 win a month ago. Afforded good weight relief after a 3kg claim, and was scratched from Sunday's Gunnedah Cup to be saved for this in what is now a very thin race for this grade. 2. General Soho is on a quick back-up down in grade fourth-up; while 9. Bella Kathleen, drawn the fence on her preferred heavy surface, is the best of the rest.
