Race 1 – Maiden (1600m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1184358_01]
In two of its last three starts Step On It has placed second, and looms as a threat to win here after a freshen up. The horse has a good fresh record and should be right in contention.
Race 1 tip: Step On It to win at Sportsbet
Race 2 – Maiden Plate (1400m)

Three placings from as many runs this preparation has us confident that Annanicolesnitz will be highly competitive here. The last-start second at Sale was the most impressive of the trio when the filly finished within a length of the winner.
Race 2 tip: Annanicolesnitz to win at Neds
Race 3 – Maiden (1200m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1184358_03]
Paper Trade will look to lead and win this one from the front. On debut the horse was well supported but failed to make a true impression, finishing third of seven at Stony Creek. From the good draw and with racing experience under the belt we are anticipating an improved performance.
Race 3 tip: Paper Trade to win at Sportsbet
Race 4 – Maiden (1200m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1184358_04]
Miss Vigilante is the horse to beat here, despite the poor barrier draw. Second-up the horse was brave in defeat, losing out by a length to Who Shot The Apple. If the horse gets a good run in transit we expect it to be right in the frame.
Race 4 tip: Miss Vigilante to win at Sportsbet
Race 5 – Class 1 Handicap (1200m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1184358_05]
My Little Oliver resumed in brilliant fashion a fortnight ago, winning its maiden in convincing fashion. The gelding steps straight into this grading with not much in the way of competition. Look out for another bold display.
Race 5 tip: My Little Oliver to win at William Hill
Race 6 – Benchmark 70 (1200m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1184358_06]
Nic Nac was great upon its resumption on April 6, finishing a neat length off the winner. From a great draw and the record of two wins from three second-up attempts the horse will be hard to beat.
Race 6 tip: Nic Nac to win at Sportsbet
Race 7 – Benchmark 70 (1600m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1184358_07]
Balcazar gets back to the mile, which should be telling here. The gelding has a win and placing from three runs at the 1600m trip and with Craig Williams in the saddle it will be hard to hold out.
Race 7 tip: Balcazar to win at Neds
Race 8 – Benchmark 64 (1400m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1184358_08]
Barrier 13 will be the only thing that holds out Rushard here. In its last three starts the horse has not missed the top-two and has a great record of a win and two placings from four attempts at the 1400m distance.
Race 8 tip: Rushard to win at Ladbrokes
