Sweet Scandal debuted with a hard-fought second at Warwick Farm and we’re expecting the Waller runner to further improve on that run. The horse stays at 55kg and gets the inside draw. The filly will be hard to beat.
Race 1 tip: Sweet Scandal to win ($1.85 at Sportsbet)
Race 2 – Maiden Plate (1550m)

Godolphin runner Singing Sand has been competitive in its two career runs to date and looks likely in this one. The two-year-old is drawn perfectly to be in the frame early, which will be a key for the filly.
Race 2 tip: Singing Sand to win ($3 at Sportsbet)
Race 3 – Open Handicap (1100m)

Smart Melody should prove hard to beat. The filly smashed its rivals on debut on June 9, winning by just shy of five and a half lengths. The filly shouldn’t have any issues replicating that form in this race.
Race 3 tip: Smart Melody to win ($1.55 at Neds)
Race 4 – Benchmark 74 (1250m)

Divine Breeze draws a bad resuming gate but is good enough to win this race. The horse has two wins and a third placing from three career starts, and the horse has trialed well coming into this event. The wide gate means the place is the right play.
Race 4 tip: Divine Purpose to place ($3 at William Hill)
Race 5 – Benchmark 74 (1550m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1187930_05]
Foreign Territory smashed the field in its second career attempt on June 11 and looks likely coming into this event. The Waterhouse and Bott runner won by three lengths that day and should have no troubles jumping straight into BM74 company.
Race 5 tip: Foreign Territory to win ($2.30 at Neds)
Race 6 – Benchmark 71 (1900m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1187930_06]
Nahuel won well second-up on June 9 to break the maiden and it looks well suited coming into this event. Despite drawing barrier 13 the horse is going to be competitive given the strength of the 4.3 length win.
Race 6 tip: Nahuel to win ($5.50 at Ladbrokes)
Race 7 – Benchmark 75 (1250m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1187930_07]
Wander has never finished outside the top-two in four career runs, including a 2.3 length win on May 24. The horse drops slightly back in grade, which will be the key here.
Race 7 tip: Wander to win ($2.80 at William Hill)
