Selections based on a good track
Race 1
4. Blue De Beers ran well in a trial before showing a clean pair of heels to go straight to the front and give nothing else a chance when scoring at Bathurst almost two weeks ago. That was his first run back from a spell and now that he’s broken through, he looks set to go on with the job. 1. Romantic Love was a Narromine winner two starts ago and then disappointed at Bathurst when last produced. He can show up here on his best form. 2. Crown Legend resumes from a spell here and was racing well last campaign with a Dubbo win before a fourth at Tamworth. 5. News Bound is talented at her best and improvement is on the cards.
How to play it: Blue De Beers WIN.

Race 2
2. Takethemoneyandrun was going to be right in the finish at Tamworth last time out but struck trouble in the straight and lost its jockey. His previous form was sound, and he gets a chance to atone in this line-up 8. Vino Rapido hit the line well for a third in the same event Takethemoneyandrun contested at Tamworth. 5. Effietrinket also ran well when finishing second in the same event at Tamworth and warrants thought again. 4. Compadre comes out of the same race having finished sixth last time out.
How to play it: Takethemoneyandrun WIN.
Race 3
5. It’s A Tata has had three starts and has been placed in each of the latest two either side of a spell. He ran third behind Blue De Beers at Bathurst when resuming and that form looks solid for a race like this. 7. Black Nature ran fourth at Dubbo on debut and has had a trial at this track to be kept up to the mark since then. 8. Chasing Quivers was placed at Gunnedah two starts ago and has claims on that effort. 10. Kawatiri ran well when a last start second at Moree and has a chance on that run.
How to play it: It’s A Tata WIN.
Race 4
2. Enterprise Legend is a speedy customer that led and won in good style at Coonabarabran two starts ago and then backed that up with a last start second at Tamworth in November. He’s been kept up to the mark for this with a recent Tamworth trial win. 3. Turned Down has some strong recent form including a last start second at Dubbo and also comes into this after a recent trial. 6. Keadool has been racing well with two recent wins at Wellington and Dubbo and can be thereabouts with a repeat, while 1. Wilbury resumes here and has a good overall record.
How to play it: Enterprise Legend WIN.
