OUR experts give you an early shot at finding that elusive midweek winner as they look at the major cards around the nation.

RANDWICK

NIC ASHMAN (The Daily Telegraph)

SWEET KISS & SHADOW LORD

Race 7, No.’s 8 & 18

Instead of betting each-way on one of these, back them both on the nose to collect the same. Sweet Kiss is a slight query at the trip but has a turn of foot and is racing well, while Shadow Lord looks ready to peak here.

STEPHEN ZAMMIT (The Daily Telegraph)

ROCK MYLADY

Race 4, No. 6

Prepared by Peter and Paul Snowden, this gelding has raced four times for two wins and two minor placings. Was given a let-up prior to storming home on a heavy track to win narrowly at Warwick Farm over 1300m on May 6. Goes up an additional 300m here, which will suit him admirably. Ready to take the next step.

JOHN DAVIS (The Daily Telegraph)

SNIP SPUR

Race 3, No. 11

Has produced honest efforts at all three runs this term and gets his chance to break through after a luckless fourth in a C1-Hcp at Wagga last time. Bright prospects on home turf.

MORNINGTON

MICHAEL MANLEY (Herald Sun)

DISTANT DREAMS

Race 7, No. 1

Destroyed her rivals when runaway first-up winner at Warrnambool in a manner suggesting she could elevate herself to better class races this time in.

MURRAY BRIDGE

BEN SCADDEN (The Advertiser)

DARK IMAGE

Race 8, No. 3

This three-year-old is only lightly raced but has already shown his share of ability for trainer Mark Minervini. He did a good job to win at Gawler first-up and should be getting home strongly for regular jockey Shayne Cahill.
