| Race | Horse | Bet Type | Summary |

Track
- Rail +6m Entire – with the dry track it should favour those on speed with lanes 2–5 key in transit.
- Horses settling further back than midfield need a solid tempo up front to be running on.
Race 2
Intriguing little maiden over 1300m. (13) Wear The Crown got a long way back first up at Wyong in a strong form race. She’s had 25 days between runs with a smart tick-over trial, and the inside draw is a big tick today. The danger is (1) Raiderlicious — 50 weeks off with no official trials is the query, but respect late money if it comes. (4) Foxy Artist was sneaky good first up but cops a horror draw.Selections:
(13) Wear The Crown
(1) Raiderlicious
(4) Foxy Artist
Suggested Bet – Wear The Crown WIN
Race 5
Like this race a lot. Plenty of the form is exposed, while (4) Extreme Diamond brings a breath of fresh air with two slick trials under double wraps. He already has the figures to win, just needs some luck from the gate early. (2) King Taurus comes off a strong last-start win but likely needs to improve again. (9) Lady Memphis maps well from barrier six and is consistent, though the rise to 1100m is the knock. (3) Boomtown Chat is next best but has looked plain in two recent trials.Selections:
(4) Extreme Diamond
(2) King Taurus
(9) Lady Memphis
(3) Boomtown Chat
Suggested Bet – Extreme Diamond WIN
