Race 1. (12:50) Ventrac C1 (2100m)

#5 – Rita’s Pearl @ $2.40

Rita’s Pearl has yet to win from four starts this preparation, but she comes off a second placing at Wyong, which is a good form guide.

The four-year-old mare by Santos runs her best races over the distance with four starts for a win and two placings, so that’s a positive.

Money has come for her, which is another good sign.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 2. (13:25) Risk and Safety Solutions Maiden (1000m)

#7 – Stellaa Lass @ $2.10

BET NOW

Strong early betting support has come for Stellaa Lass, who ran second on debut at Wyong behind a smart type.

The Kim Waugh-trained filly is bred to be better than average, and after opening at $2.25, she has been met with good betting support.

She could start odds-on, so take the current price with bookmakers.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 3. (14:05) Central Coast Jeep C1 (1600m)

#8 – Bold Splendor @ $41.00

Punters get big odds for Bold Splendor, and there could be an upset in a tough field.

The six-year-old mare hasn’t been too far away from the prize this preparation, including a third placing at Port Macquarie two back.

She doesn’t win often, but she could give punters a sight at massive odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (14:40) Central Coast MG Maiden (1100m)

#3 – Fernweh @ $2.10

BET NOW

After opening at $2.40, Fernweh has been well-backed to score, and this maiden race is there for the taking.

The three-year-old son of Turn Me Loose owns two placings from four starts, including a third placing at Warwick Farm last prep.

The betting support is justified, so include her in picks.

Stake: 3 Units

Race 5. (15:20) NCIS Sydney Provincial Maiden (1200m)

#9 – La Bleu Ciel @ $6.50

BET NOW

We’re taking the each-way odds for La Bleu Ciel, who could continue a potentially good day for the stable.

The four-year-old mare has taken her time getting to the races, but she comes off a trial win at Beaumont, which should top her off nicely.

Luck is needed from a wide barrier, but she could settle back and finish off best.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (15:55) Gosford It Midway BM68 (1200m)

#7 – Sapling @ $3.80

BET NOW

Sapling is enjoying a good patch of form, including a second placing at Wyong last time out.

The three-year-old filly by Anders likes the sting out of the ground, and she owns a win and a placing from four starts in soft conditions.

Her odds have drifted, but we’re happy with the better odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (16:35) Sneddon Bros C1 (1200m)

#9 – Call Me Sassy @ $4.20

BET NOW

There isn’t much between most runners in this field, and the each-way odds for Call Me Sassy are worth taking.

The four-year-old mare by Zoustar owns a win and three placings from four starts, so she has yet to do anything wrong so far.

She hasn’t been asked for much in recent trials, and we expect a tidy fresh up effort.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 8. (17:10) Central Coast Locksmiths BM64 (1100m)

#14 – Senshi @ $7.50

BET NOW

Senshi is enjoying a long preparation, and that race fitness could be enough to get him over the line.

The six-year-old son of Maurice is a five-time winner, and he owns three placings from five starts at Gosford, so the track record is solid.

Barrier three with 55kg on his back is enough to take him close.
