Race 1 – Maiden Handicap (1400m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1177104_01]
Our Winnie performed well enough to run second last start after running fifth on debut.
Jockey Rachel Murray is riding in good enough form this season and she could steal a lead around the turn and give them the slip.
Race 1 tip: Our Winnie to win at CrownBet.com.au
Race 2 – Maiden Handicap (900m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1177104_02]
Second Island ran fourth on debut at Muswellbrook before improving to run second on this track.
The filly by Star Witness finished 3.3 lengths behind the winner, but there was plenty of improvement to take out of that race.
Race 2 tip: Second Island to win at Neds.com.au
Race 3 – C1 Handicap (2200m)

Merican is a Richard Freedman-trained runner which didn’t fire on debut, but it hasn’t been far away since.
That form included consecutive placings coming into this and although it’s rising up in grade here, it looks to have better than class 1 potential.
Race 3 tip: Merican to win at Sportsbet.com.au
Race 4 – C2 Handicap (900m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1177104_04]
Sausalito won either side of a spell and it was impressive when winning by three lengths last time out.
The Paul Perry-trained three-year-old looks to have better than average potential and the smaller field is only going to help its chances.
Race 4 tip: Sausalito to win at Neds.com.au
Race 5 – BM54 Handicap (1600m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1177104_05]
Athena’s Voice is coming off a win and that’s better form than the rest of this field.
The Rodney Northam-trained three-year-old has had plenty of racing, but it took seven starts to break maiden grades.
The confidence is up now so stick with it.
Race 5 tip: Athena’s Voice to win at Neds.com.au
Race 6 – BM50 Handicap (1100m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1177104_06]
Something Shocking is a three-year-old which scored impressively by a length on debut at Gosford.
That came after an extensive trials preparation where it won twice and that experience will do it some good here.
She looks like a filly on the rise.
Race 6 tip: Something Shocking to win at Sportsbet.com.au
Race 7 – BM55 Handicap (1300m)

Serious Dancer hasn’t been the most consistent this campaign, but it comes into this with a win under its belt.
Jockey Louise Day takes some weight off its back and it could continue its good form this campaign.
