| Where | The Entertainment Grounds – 4 Racecourse Rd, West Gosford NSW 2250 |
| When | Sunday, December 31, 2023 |
| First Race | 1:45pm AEDT |
The quality racing continues at Gosford on Sunday afternoon, with a seven-race program set for New Year’s Eve. There are 100 acceptors across the meeting, ensuring some big field sizes for punters to dissect as the opening race is scheduled to get underway at 1:45pm local time. The rail is in the true position the entire circuit, and with only a minor chance of rain predicted in the lead-up, expect the surface to land somewhere in the Good rating for the weekend.
Best Bet at Gosford: Lady Extreme
Lady Extreme debuted an impressive winner at this course on December 7 and we see no reason why she can’t chalk up back-to-back wins on Sunday. The daughter of Extreme Choice powered over the top of her rivals over 1000m in her first-up romp, going on to secure victory by an eye-catching 2.2 lengths. She should only improve based on that performance, and although she now tackles much tougher Class 1 company, Lady Extreme should be finishing off best once again.
Best Bet
Race 4 – 
#3 Lady Extreme (15)
4yo Mare | T: Blake Ryan | J: Jay Ford (57kg)
Next Best at Gosford: Subarctic
Subarctic returned from a 195-day spell at Gosford on December 8 and hit the line well over an unsuitable trip. The gelding by So You Think was unable to maintain a long-sustained run over the 1200m in the small four-horse field, knocking up late due to a lack of race-day fitness. The Matthew Smith barn elect to send Subarctic to the mile second-up and the step-up in trip is a necessity for his chances. We expect Subarctic to be blousing his rivals late and finally breaking his maiden status at start 11.

#5 Subarctic (7)
4yo Gelding | T: Matthew Smith | J: Ashley Morgan (59kg)
Next Best Again at Gosford: Dize
After one official barrier trial to kick-off the campaign, Dize heads to the races for the first time on Sunday. The daughter of Shalaa went on to secure victory in that jump-out at Wyong by 5.2 lengths, skipping away from her rivals despite racing under her own steam. She was never asked for the ultimate effort by Anna Roper, giving the impression that the three-year-old filly had plenty left in the locker. She should be pinging the lids from barrier eight in this 1000m maiden contest, and if she can manage to get across to the rails, Dize will look the winner a long way out.
Next Best Again
Race 1 – 
#5 Dize (8)
3yo Filly | T: Damien Lane | J: Anna Roper (a2kg) (55kg)
