Race 1 – 1:40pm: PFD FOOD SERVICES RISING STAR SERIES BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP (1000m)<\/h3>\n
4. Hellova Nature<\/strong> went out on a career peak figure before spelling last prep and ran very fast time relative to the day. Further, repeating that effort will make him hard to beat, and he\u2019s had two trials leading into this assignment. The lightly raced galloper receives the tongue tie for the first time and expect him to be in the finish.<\/p>\n Kembla Grange will host Thursday\u2019s meeting.<\/span><\/p>\n Dangers: 7. Spirit Of Storm<\/strong> was well-backed first-up to score at Newcastle and has come back improved. She can step off that performance and maps well. 1. Temple Run<\/strong> is another last-start winner drawn well and add 6. Sinner<\/strong> to trifectas and first fours.<\/p>\n How to play it:<\/strong> Hellova Nature WIN<\/p>\n 6. Brave Agenda<\/strong> had nearly every chance last start at Canterbury in a stronger grade and battled on to finish fourth. Before that, her two starts on the provincial circuit were solid, and bouncing back to that form will put her in the finish. The filly returns to her home track, has multiple winning figures, and Tommy Berry rides.<\/p>\n Dangers: 1. Jamrock<\/strong> has a much more positive race setup here. The gelding will appreciate the rise in trip, drier ground suits and Grant Buckley rides from a soft draw. 5. Red Cobra<\/strong> is racing well this prep and market watch on 2. Guzumped<\/strong>, who returns. 4. Fioprospero<\/strong> is still lightly raced and has come back improved with a strong first-up win. He can settle closer with the rise in trip suiting and can make it back-to-back wins.<\/p>\n How to play it:<\/strong> Brave Agenda WIN<\/p>\n Debutant 1. Katsumoto<\/strong> is a nice type and won a recent trial at Randwick over 1045m with style. The gelding was slightly keen throughout but responded well when Tommy Berry clicked him up in the straight and accelerated away from his rivals, going through the line full of energy. He has a positive race setup here and expect him to be hard to hold out.<\/p>\n Dangers: 11. Thaibeefsalade<\/strong> was a savage drifter in the betting four days ago and didn\u2019t appreciate the rain-affected ground. She can bounce back on drier ground and has the all-important race experience. 4. Equilibrist<\/strong> debuts at his home track and looks like an improving type. Market watch on 2. Lucky Force<\/strong> who was ridden out to finish third in a recent heat at Rosehill.<\/p>\n How to play it:<\/strong> Katsumoto WIN<\/p>\n 6. Cohesive<\/strong>\u2019s debut run had hidden sectional merit in a high-rating race at Newcastle 18 days ago, and she ran on well. The mare was restrained early and got too far back but made up significant ground in the straight, and all key indicators suggest the rise in trip will be ideal. Expect her to improve with race experience, and she represents value. Each-way.<\/p>\n Dangers: 8. Margarets Missile<\/strong> resumes for her new trainer, Kerry Parker, and has trialled well enough in preparation for this assignment. She raced well last campaign and always gave the impression she would return improved. 5. Prefer The Wink<\/strong> has a strong ratings profile relative to his rivals and expect him to be hard to hold out. 3. Binghamton<\/strong> brings a fitness edge and a solid SP profile for this event.<\/p>\n How to play it: Cohesive E\/W<\/p>\n 9. Equipage<\/strong> profiles well for this event with a much more positive race setup and is ready to peak third-up. The Godolphin galloper had too much to do last start at Newcastle after being restrained from a wide draw and got too far back. Further, she had to make a long-sustained sprint, making up significant ground, clocked some of the meeting\u2019s fastest closing splits and ran on into third in what was a high-rating race relative to the day. Her ratings\/sectional profile suggests he can improve again up in distance and can settle much closer from the softer draw. In addition, Tommy Berry rides for the first time and expect him to be hard to hold out.<\/p>\n Dangers: 6. Tellez<\/strong> comes through the same race as Equipage and brings the SP edge over that galloper. He was honest in that event, being first-up and loomed to win, but he peaked late. Expect him to improve off that effort, and the rise in trip is ideal. 1. Aix En Provence<\/strong> is coming through a strong time race and is another runner set to peak third-up. Market watch on 10. Mare Of Mt Buller<\/strong> who resumes and has trialled well going through the line not extended.<\/p>\n How to play it:<\/strong> Equipage WIN<\/p>\n 5. Dear Jewel<\/strong> had excuses first-up at Canterbury 20 days ago in a high-rating race and will have only improved off that effort. Further, the mare had to exert too much energy in the mid-sections and then had her momentum halted over the concluding stages when checked\/blocked. The four-year-old will appreciate the switch back to dry ground, where she produces all her peak figures and maps to have all favours from the inside draw with Tommy Berry riding.<\/p>\n Dangers: 3. Vomo Island<\/strong> resumed as a gelding first-up at Wyong 15 days ago and broke through for his maiden win, running solid time. He can step off that performance with the bigger track suiting and more ground, which is ideal. 1. Black Duke<\/strong> had all favours last start but tried hard in defeat. 11. Your Not Boss<\/strong> is a last-start winner at Canberra, albeit on the rain-affected ground, but ran solid closing splits relative to the day.<\/p>\n How to play it:<\/strong> Dear Jewel WIN<\/p>\n Forgiving of 6. Suit Of Armour<\/strong>\u2019s first-up effort at Gosford, where the gelding was a savage drifter late in the trade and struck testing ground. Further, he wasn\u2019t suited to the race shape, had to make a long-wide sustained run, and clocked hidden closing splits. He can bounce back here back to dry ground and will strip fitter. Can rate to win.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
