2 – Penang

5 – Red Hot Moon
Race 2- Tradienetwork.com.au Maiden Plate- 1200m

Our Fraulein hasn’t been far away in recent metropolitan starts and she is the main threat.
Ranges has a place chance.
Selections:
3 – Favra
10 – Our Fraulein
6 – Ranges

Zarzou was a close fourth in the same race as the other pair here on March 6.
Selections:
1 – Warp Speed

Lady Legend is racing well and she has a chance
Selections:
5 – Chanting
1 – Amitto
4 – Lady Legend
Race 5- New Zealand Bloodstock 2YO Maiden Plate- 1200m

Selections:
8 – I Say Hello
11 – Press Start
7 – Alighted
Race 6 – Yarraman Park Class 2 1200m

Quick Finance is a speedy customer with a place chance.
Selections:

Race 7 – Sage Painting F&M Class 2 Handicap 1200m
Regimental Band is a classy filly which was only beaten a length and a half In Listed races at Flemington and Randwick during the spring. She has a horror draw but the intention is to ride her quietly and her class may get her home.
Instant Attraction is talented with a Gosford win and close second at Canterbury before a spell.
Plaquette is knocking on the door after two good metropolitan placings.
Selections:
1 – Regimental Band
4 – Instant Attractions
9 – Plaquette

Poulton Le Sands may sprint well fresh.
Selections:
13 – Trajection
9 – Siesta Key
3 – Poulton Le Sands
Race 9 – Polytrack Provincial Championships Gosford Qualifier 1200m
A cracking class 5 race.
Asharani is on her home track and her fast finishing second behind Trumbull last start was a ripper. The spacious track is a bonus but 1200m is as short a trip as she wants.
Trumbull is the class runner and he can overcome the wide draw. He sat three-wide throughout when successful at Randwick last start.
Sir Elton is a speedster coming off a super trial.
Selections:
10 – Asharani
1 – Trumbull
8 – Sir Elton
