| Where | Kembla Grange Racecourse – Princes Hwy, Kembla Grange NSW 2526 |
| When | Thursday, February 29, 2024 |
| First Race | 1:15pm AEDT |
The $150,000 Provincial-Midway Championship Qualifier (1400m) takes top billing at Kembla Grange on Thursday afternoon, accompanied by a competitive eight-race undercard lined-up for punters. The rail is in the true position the entire circuit, and with conditions unlikely to have a significant impact on the track rating, expect the course to remain in the Soft range throughout the day. The opening race is set to get underway at 1:15pm AEDT.
Provincial-Midway Championship Qualifier: Strait Acer
Strait Acer is clearly the highest-rated galloper heading into the Provincial-Midway Qualifier, and all things even, should prove too classy. The son of Headwater found an incredible peak towards the end of last preparation, running third in the Group 1 Sir Rupert Clarke (1400m) at Caulfield on November 18, and the case can be made the four-year-old should’ve finished within a length of the eventual winner Magic Time. His return had plenty of merit when outsprinted in the Group 2 Expressway Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on February 17, with Tommy Berry implying Straight Acer had returned better than ever. He only needs to hold his form second-up and this guy will take a power of beating.

Best Bet at Kembla Grange: Private Legacy
Private Legacy is winless heading into start nine, but when you look at the opposition she has been facing, it’s easy to see why. The Greogry Hickman-trained filly was thrown into the deep end last campaign, culminating in an attempt at the Group 1 Flight Stakes (1600m) at Randwick September 30. She was only beaten by 3.5 lengths on that occasion before resuming a short-priced favourite at Goulburn on February 15, with the 1300m proving too short for the daughter of The Autumn Sun. Second-up at the mile appears ideal, and with some quality on her opposition, Private Legacy should finally get that much-deserved maiden victory.

Race 2 – 
#2 Private Legacy (9)
3yo Filly | T: Gregory Hickman | J: Tommy Berry (58.5kg)
Next Best at Kembla Grange: Bonita Queen
Bonita Queen produced an eye-catching maiden victory at her most recent start at Hawkesbury on February 13, going on to score by a staggering four-length margin. The filly by I Am Invincible was sensational when making every post a winner on that occasion and gets a similar setup to do it again. Adam Hyeronimus elects to stick aboard the three-year-old, and with the Bjorn Baker barn continue to strike consistently on the provincial circuit, Bonita Queen can add to that tally on Thursday.

#7 Bonita Queen (2)
