Race 1. (13:20) Wests Illawarra Your Next Stop Maiden (1450m)

#1 – Above the Law @ $1.70

BET NOW

Above the Law has changed stables from Waterhouse/Bott, and it could spark him into action with a maiden win.

The three-year-old son of Harry Angel didn’t do much wrong with six placings from seven starts, and he should enjoy this level of racing.

Take the short odds and include him in horse racing multi bets.

Stake: 3 Units

Race 2. (13:55) I98FM’s Feel Good Fun Maiden (1300m)

#1 – Hold My Drink @ $2.80

BET NOW

The four-year-old gelding could give the stable the first two winners, and he hasn’t been too far away from the prize in two starts this prep.

He ran second at Sapphire Coast fresh up before running fifth last start, and he could use his barrier speed to settle handy to the pace.

Barrier two is ideal, so he’s worth including.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (14:30) Brookvale Union Midway BM64 (1400m)

#2 – Call Me Mojo @ $4.20

BET NOW

Punters get each-way odds with Call Me Mojo, who kicked things off at Canberra with a 1.3-length win.

The four-year-old son of Toronado could kick on with it now, and although his recent trial wasn’t flash, he wasn’t asked for much.

Barrier three is ideal, so he should give a good sight.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (15:05) Go Hire The Event People BM68 (1450m)

#2 – Ishikari @ $2.05

BET NOW

Seeking three consecutive wins is Ishikari, who scored at Orange before doubling down with a quality win at Randwick.

The four-year-old mare by Staphanos scored at double-figure odds in the Highway Handicap, which is always a good form guide.

Rachel King riding adds to her appeal, so take the shorts.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 5. (15:40) Kennards Hire BM64 (1300m)

#3 – Billund @ $5.00

BET NOW

Team Hawkes lines up Billund, who was too good for them at Cranbourne last time out.

The three-year-old son of Ole Kirk has good form for racing in New South Wales, and this stable rarely misses when bringing them interstate.

Take the $5 odds before it shortens on race day.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 6. (16:20) Carlton Dry 3.5 BM64 (1150m)

#2 – Divo @ $7.50

BET NOW

Divo could make an early impact this season, and punters get value odds for the three-year-old.

The son of Capitalist didn’t win last preparation, but he added a placing to his record, which consists of a win and three second placings.

3kg comes off his back to help with the weight, which should take him close.

Stake: 1 Unit
