RACE 1
RIGGS (Loretta Rice): Lacks early speed and not managed a place in 4 starts here. Looking to others.
BARLAVENTO (John Moore): Failed in three starts prior to 1 1/2 lens 2nd of four in 30.47 S/Trial here Feb 14. Take on trust.
I'M KEEPING (Lynette Tsohalis): Still looking for a win after 18 starts (5 placings). Always well back when 9 1/4 lens 6th in 30.28 here Feb 14. Tested again.

DAZZLING DANCER (Ken Burnett): First starter by Spiral Nikita out of Top Show Belle.
BETTY'S BAZOOKA (Tom Astbury): Made ground late when 1 1/2 lens 3rd in 30.69 here Jan 31. This looks easier and hard to beat given any luck in the early stages.
THUNDER COL (Wally Lutiger): Safely held from box 8 here Feb 14 at only start when 10 lens 5th in 30.21. Must improve to feature.
LADY LYTTON (Rosemary Tiyce): Not a quick beginner and still a maiden after 44 starts (10 placings). Unlikely to break through now.

KYLIE'S ANGEL (Eric Sparks): Speedy customer which struck early trouble and finished 23 lens 7th in 30.51 at WP Feb 11. Landed 30.35 win here Jan 10 at local debut. Chance in an open affair.
THRILLOW (Charlie Briffa): Only win in 10 starts here at this trip has been in a moderate 30.51. Not expected to worry this lot.
KORVETTE (Jason Magri): Well supported when 26.63 all-the-way winner at Bulli Feb 14. New here and yet to be tested beyond 472m but shows promise. Expected to measure up.
WATTA DOUBLE (Margaret Greer): Struggled at Gosford before landing 30.42 S/Trial win here Feb 14. This looks too tough.
SMASHING JEN (Neil Falk): Untroubled when 6 lens winner in 30.63 at Nowra Feb 11. No threat when 5th in 30.40 there Feb 18 and will need to begin cleanly to measure up.

TOTAL DIAMOND (Pauline Moran): Battled on without threatening when 2 1/4 lens 3rd in 30.53 here Feb 14. Lacks genuine pace and minor claims are best again.
ELUSIVE SPIRIT (Mick Player): Strike rate is poor and well held here and at Goulburn in recent weeks. Not up to this class.
GO TYSON (Tracey Hurst): Always well back when 11 lens 6th in 30.55 here Feb 14. Has his share of ability but latest form has been mixed. Take on trust.

TIGGERLONG GO (Margaret Keys): Track specialist which had box 6 when 4 3/4 lens 5th in 30.22 here Feb 7. Latest box manners have been mixed yet has won here in a fast 29.72 and can never be underestimated.

RIGHT ON RUBY (Tracey Bryant): Faced tougher class when 4 3/4 lens 6th in 30.20 at Meadows Feb 16. Won 6 from 11 here incl smart 29.88. Can show good speed and commands respect.

EVIL AUNTY (John Moore): Had box 8 when 16 lens last of seven in 30.28 here Feb 14 at debut. The betting will be the best guide having drawn the inside alley.

RACE 5
AWESOME RENEGADE (Elizabeth Bont): Back from a short break with strong 2 lens win in 30.55 here Feb 14. Suitably drawn and offers value for multiples.
HARRY'S LAD (Leon Jakobasic): Untroubled when 30.16 all-the-way winner here Feb 14 at local debut. Backs up after 5 lens 2nd in 30.54 at WP Feb 18. Should not be far away at any stage.

YALLAH DELTA (George Micallef): Edged out on tight finish when nose 2nd in 30.53 here Feb 14. Led from box 4 last time but this is a good deal tougher.

WILD DOLLAR (Frank Sanotti): Outclassed when 7 lens 2nd in 30.26 here Feb 14. Began cleanly from box 4 last time but she is a risky beginner. Take on trust.
RACE 6
CHILLI LEAH (Ken Burnett): Managed first win for 6 months when successful in 30.58 at WP Feb 18. Posted 5 of 7 career wins here (best 30.38) but this looks a real test.
BARGERO (Stephen Cleary): Scratched.

RACE 7

JENMAR FOLLY (Jenny Brown): Failed twice since landing 30.31 all-the-way win here Jan 31. Can show pace and has posted 30.01 locally but this middle alley does not help in such a strong line-up. Will be afforded no mistakes.

JUST A FLY (Peter Lagogiane): Speedy customer which has won her past couple at Richmond over 400m in smart times. Rises in class and only local experience has been over 297m. Place preferred.
STOLE THE SHOW (Steve White): Well held when 6 3/4 lens 3rd in fast 29.72 (best) here Feb 14. Has posted a near record 29.61 here but much better suited by an inside alley.
RACE 8
JUST FOR MAG'S (Anton Lauric): Had this alley but never a factor when 9 1/4 lens 5th in 43.21 over 720m at WP Feb 16. This is a little more suitable. Each way.

ZABEELA (Andrew Prokopiou): Led for a long way but outgunned late when 1 1/4 lens 2nd in 35.14 here Feb 14. Awkwardly drawn and this is tougher.
LITTLE CHAD (Ruth Matic): No luck when strong 4 lens 2nd in 30.33 at Nowra Feb 11. Awkwardly drawn when 6th in 30.63 at WP Feb 18. Local record is sound and commands respect at 600m debut.
CHITTAWAY LAD (Olga Vassilakis): Had box 1 when 35.14 winner here Feb 14. Mixes box manners and this has more depth. Place preferred.
BLUE AWESOME (Joanne Zammit): Down the track in each of three starts since landing slow 31.72 Richmond maiden win Oct 29. Looking to others.
SPINAYARN GEM (Edward McPhee): Struggled here, Goulburn and Nowra in recent starts. Cannot recommend.
RACE 9
HIP LORIAN (Les Deguara): Had this alley when 8 lens 2nd in 30.21 ht here Feb 14. This is even tougher. Others make more appeal.

ROSCOE THE GUN (Tracey Bryant): Battled on without threatening when 3 1/4 lens 4th in 30.28 here Feb 14. at debut. Minor claims look best in a handy line-up.
WALFORD (Tracey Hurst): On the pace t/out when 1/2 len 2nd in 30.28 here Feb 14 at debut. This is a little tougher yet commands respect.
SANDON STORM (Michael Jones): Lacks early speed. Always well back when 6 1/2 lens 5th in 30.28 here Feb 14. Cannot recommend.
THUNDER COL (Wally Lutiger): Had box 8 at debut when 10 lens 5th in 30.21 Feb 14. Prefer to see again.

ELUSIVE THUNDER (Wally Lutiger): No threat when 7 1/4 lens 3rd in 30.26 here Feb 14. This looks a little easier and commands respect on 30.19 win here Jan 31.

MRS. WILLOW (Steve White): Landed 30.66 maiden win here Sept 27 and followed with 3.46 win here Oct 4. Nor raced since and since changed kennel. Watch betting.
MIDNIGHT CURFEW (Garry Edwards): Outclassed when 12 lens 3rd in 29.90 here Feb 14. Tested again.
