RANDWICK

NIC ASHMAN (Daily Telegraph). Tipster’s recent form: 70473

EISENHOWER

Race 2, No. 2

He galloped well on Tuesday and is much better than his recent run. Handy field here but he’s definitely overs at the current quote.

TAB Fixed Odds: $12

STEPHEN ZAMMIT (Daily Telegraph). Form: x6058

MAKEADANE

Race 3, No. 4

Hit the line well for close-up fourth at Warwick Farm before picking them up quickly for 1/2 len win in a 1600m at Scone (Metro) on May 15. This John Thompson-trained gelding will keep improving as he steps up to the 2000m here and looks a strong chance again at good odds.

TAB Fixed Odds: $6.50

JOHN DAVIS (Daily Telegraph). Form: 395x0

SWING SENSATION

Race 3, No. 8

Stuck on gamely after trying to pinch it at Warwick Farm over the mile trip last start. Meets the third horse in that event (Ammirata) a kilogram better here, which augurs well for his chances.

TAB Fixed Odds: $8

FLEMINGTON

MATT STEWART (Herald Sun). Tipster’s recent form: 66373

DE LITTLE ENGINE

Race 5, No.9

Progressive stayer who comes into this fresh. Suspect good enough to really test Kenjorwood.

TAB Fixed Odds: $7

ROD NICHOLSON (Herald Sun). Form: 20011

NORTHROZA

Race 2, No. 3

Smart filly who should be unbeaten in three runs. Super Sandown win before spell and working brilliantly.

TAB Fixed Odds: $4.60

MICHAEL MANLEY (Herald Sun). Form: x1301

SABOR A TRIUNFO

Race 7, No. 8

Shapes as if 3200m will suit. Stuck on well last start for fourth at Flemington over 2800m and meets the first two better on the weights.

TAB Fixed Odds: $7.50

NICK QUINN (TAB). Form: 77x10

TRADE COMMISSIONER
Race 5, No.6

Caught the eye with a fast-finishing fourth in the Wagga Cup and does his best racing over this trip with five placings from 11 attempts. Fourth up and with Craig Williams in the saddle looks a great each-way chance.

TAB Fixed Odds: $9

DOOMBEN

NATHAN EXELBY (The Courier-Mail). Tipster’s recent form: 66850

BOHEMIAN LILY

Race 7, No.4

Is thriving in Queensland and has improved in each of her three runs for Gai Waterhouse. Fitter again this time and suspect she can turn the tables on Ballet Suite. The Kiwi filly Platinum Witness looms as the other main danger, but sure Blake Shinn will be giving Bohemian a lovely run up on the speed and she looks super each way value.

TAB Fixed Odds: $6

BRAD DAVIDSON (Gold Coast Bulletin). Form: 00707

LOOK TO THE STARS

Race 6, No.11

Gets her chance from the good draw this weekend and her run was much better than it looked in the Champagne Classic the other day. She posted the quickest last 200m of the race on that occasion and the step up to 1350m should suit.

TAB Fixed Odds: $16

DARREN PRENDERGAST (Super Racing). Form: 50170

SCISSOR KICK

Race 8, No. 14

Classy colt raced well during the autumn in Sydney, including close-up fourth in All Aged Stakes. Chased hard in the BTC Cup and capable of giving this a big shake with new Hall Of Famer Glen Boss in the saddle.

TAB Fixed Odds: $8

SIMON MOY (Super Racing). Form: 10646

GENERALIFE

Race 8, No. 8

Made huge ground late in All Aged Stakes to finish just off them and subsequently won a Rosehill trial last week in preparation for this. Track conditions will suit and has drawn to get the perfect trail. Load the gun.

TAB Fixed Odds: $6.50

MORPHETTVILLE

LINCOLN MOORE (The Advertiser). Tipster’s recent form: 42124

JUSTIFY THAT

Race 7, No.2

Ran pretty well last time behind Mubakkir and gets in nicely with the claim. Looks pretty good value for a horse who will make his own luck on the speed.

TAB Fixed Odds: $26

BEN SCADDEN (The Advertiser). Form: 0381

MUBAKKIR

Race 8, No.2

It’s impossible to fault the form of this gelding since he joined the Bill Papazaharoudakis stable. He’s won five from six and looks a great chance to add to that tally at around $6.50 in pre-post markets.

TAB Fixed Odds: $10
