Race 1 – Maiden (1200m)

[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1182496_01]

Livia’s Story placed on debut at Gosford after some decent lead-in trial form. With natural progression we think the promising filly will be taking out this race.

Race 1 tip: Livia’s Story to win ($4.40 at William Hill)

Race 2 – Maiden (1400m)

The aptly named The Promise was more than useful upon returning on February 24, finishing second behind Legendofoz as a huge outsider. The horse should be fitter for that run and will have the added benefit of Hugh Bowman aboard.

Race 2 tip: The Promise to win ($3.90 at Ladbrokes)

Race 3 – Maiden Plate (1600m)

[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1182496_03]

Kathmandu is the standout performer at this level. The horse has never finished beyond a length and a half of the winner on race attempts and has shown a lot more than any of its rivals coming into this one.

Race 3 tip: Kathmandu to win ($1.90 at Sportsbet)

Race 4 – Class 1 (2300m)

[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1182496_04]

Rex Bell looms as the winner here. The horse has a third-up win in the past and its last-start second at Kembla Grange was highly encouraging. The Waller and Bowman connection should deliver another win.

Race 4 tip: Rex Bell to win ($1.90 at Sportsbet)

Race 5 – Open Handicap (1400m)

[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1182496_05]

Godolphin runner Laburnum is poised to remain undefeated. The filly won well on debut on February 20 at Wyong and it will benefit on the 2kg weight relief on highly fancied stablemate Osorno.

Race 5 tip: Laburnum to win ($3.80 at William Hill)

Race 6 – Newcastle Newmarket Handicap (1400m)

[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1182496_06]

The red-hot form of Lanciato cannot be denied here. The horse is shooting for a hat-trick, a seventh win from 20 starts and is fresh off two back-to-back city wins. Hard to see Lanciato losing with a decent gate and a low weight.

Race 6 tip: Lanciato to win ($3 at William Hill)

Race 7 – Benchmark 80 (900m)

[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1182496_07]

Latin Boy has a win and two placings from first-up attempts and will be hard to hold out upon resumption here. Prior to being turned out the horse had recorded four-straight wins before a last-start fourth.

Race 7 tip: Latin Boy to win ($2.20 at Crownbet)

Race 8 – Benchmark 70 (1200m)

[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1182496_08]

Despite having just one placing from two first-up attempts we think Sweet Deal can surprise in the last. The horse had been racing exclusively in the city last campaign and was somewhat competitive. It will now benefit from the country company.

Race 8 tip: Sweet Deal to win ($4.20 at Ladbrokes)
