RACING NOW

We have expert betting tips for racing at Gosford on Friday, which includes eight races at the quality meeting.

Punters get good value odds for the New South Wales meeting, and we have betting tips for every race on the card.

Race 1. (12:50) Dylans Final Freedom Maiden (1000m)

#4 - Yamashita @ $2.80

BET NOW

Yamashita scored a placing either side of a spell, and her run for second at Kembla Grange last time out is a good form guide.

The three-year-old filly by Tiger of Malay was only a short margin behind the winner last start, and she won’t take long to win a race.

It’s a competitive field, so the $2.80 is a fair price from bookmakers.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (13:25) Integbuild Maiden (1100m)

#6 - Eviction Notice @ $3.90

BET NOW

Eviction Notice opened at $3.20, so there hasn’t been much money for him, but he should give punters a sight.

The three-year-old gelding has been around the mark throughout his career, including four placings, and some of those came against good fields.

This is a drop in class, and he could capitalise with a win.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (14:00) Central Coast Granite Maiden (1100m)

#10 - Temptation @ $1.85

BET NOW

Bjorn Baker lines up Temptation, who finished second on debut as an odds-on favourite.

Punters were disappointed, but it was a solid run from the three-year-old, who will only improve with the run under her belt.

Rachel King rides with 55.5kg on her back, and that should take her close.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 4. (14:35) NCIS Sydney Maiden (1200m)

#7 - Crash Bang Wallop @ $5.00

BET NOW

It was a good debut for Crash Bang Wallop, who ran fourth behind some smart maiden types.

The four-year-old mare by Deep Field had good betting support, and we liked the way she hit the line over 1000m.

Rising to 1200m is ideal, and the $5 odds are worth taking.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (15:10) Senpos Midway BM68 (1600m)

#2 - Fiftyfivechevy @ $4.20

BET NOW

Punters get each-way odds for Fiftyfivechevy, who didn’t fire at Illawarra last start, but it was a tricky race.

The five-year-old looked much better when placing at Moruya fresh up, and something close to that effort should be good enough.

If he can find luck from the draw, he should be right in the thick of the finish.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (15:45) Pluim Group BM64 (2070m)

#3 - Tacitly @ $2.80

BET NOW

Looking to cap off three consecutive second placings at Scone and Newcastle, which are good form guides for this race.

The four-year-old son of Wootton Bassett was only a half-length behind the winner last time out, and he doesn’t need to improve much to handle this field.

Alysha Collett is riding well, which adds to our confidence.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 7. (16:25) Central Coast Locksmiths BM64 (1200m)

#7 - Wanda's Spark @ $2.45

BET NOW

Wanda’s Spark scored a quality win last time out, and that form could be franked at this level.

The three-year-old filly by Tagaloa showed good speed when leading the field, and she could adopt similar tactics again.

It’s a good ride for Zac Lloyd, who could have a big day.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 8. (17:05) Hudson Trade Centre Mitre 10 BM64 (1200m)

#3 - Lego Master @ $6.50

BET NOW

Punters get each-way odds for Lego Master, who won well at Illawarra fresh up before struggling at Newcastle last time out.

That was a disappointing effort, but the four-year-old son of Graff could bounce back at Gosford, where he owns a second placing.

The $6.50 odds are good enough to include in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit
