Eight races will be run and won at Gosford on New South Wales’ Central Coast this Wednesday, April 10th.
For more racing and sports previews, visit the Ladbrokes Blog.
The consistent rain on the East Coast has seen the track rated in the Heavy (8) range at publish, while the rail will be left in the true position around the entire course.
I've run the rule over every galloper and race, and you can find my complete Gosford Preview and tips below.
RACE 1 - 12:50PM: Eve Electrical 2YO Handicap (1100m)
Nymphadora is fit and ready to win. The Yes Yes Yes filly finished sixth, beaten just over a length and a half in the Inglis Millennium first-up this time.
While she only beat one runner home in the Reisling Stakes, she only just missed over 1100m at Randwick-Kensington last time out
4 Units Nymphadora
RACE 2 - 1:25PM: Sneddon Bros. Maintenance Super Maiden Handicap (1600m)
Miss Reilly worked home well to fill the minors at Randwick-Kensington when resuming this time and rates as a key winning chance today.
The Chris Waller-trained filly showed some promise without recording an elusive win during her debut prep, finding form around some credible opposition.
This is a great opportunity to begin her rise through the grades.
1 Unit Miss Reilly
RACE 3 - 2PM: Pluim Group BM78 Handicap (2100m)
Blackcomb drops in class at Gosford today and this looks a great race for her.
The Vancouver mare has yet to strike in three runs back from a break, but she has continued to improve with each and was last seen finishing fourth in the Listed Albury Cup.
She's hard fit, gets some relief I the weight under Dylan Gibbons and will take beating.

RACE 4 - 2:35PM: Premises Aus PTY LTD 3&4YO BM72 Handicap (1600m)
I'm keen to stick with Vadamos Queen when she steps out second-up at Gosford on Wednesday.
Vadamos Queen turned in some fine performances last time in, winning in BM65 company at Canberra most notably, while she was eye-catching through the line at Wyong first-up this time, only just missing.
With natural improvement and getting out to the mile this week, something like this looks well within her means.

RACE 5 - 3:10PM: Central Coast Wedding Fair 14th April BM94 Handicap (1600m)
This is an outstanding race with several winning chances engaged, but I thought that Street Gossip might be the one dropping down noticeably in class.
Street Gossip is yet to threaten in two runs back from a break, but has run into some serious talent in both the Wenona Girl Quality and the Emancipation Stakes.
She strips fitter, is drawn ideally and will relish getting out to the mile this week.

RACE 6 - 3:45PM: ANZAC Day Races @ Gosford 3YO BM64 Handicap (1200m)
Admonish was a little flat at the midweeks second-up from a spell, but I'm keen to give her another chance when she steps out at Gosford this week.
The Astern filly won each of her first two career starts up in Queensland last year, and after returning to action with a fine effort in BM72 company at Warwick Farm last month, not a lot went right last time out.
Fitter third-up and out to the 1200m this week, this looks a suitable race.
2 Units Admonish
RACE 7 - 4:20PM: The Coast Raceday 11th May BM72 Handicap (1200m)
Wide open race with plenty of winning chances engaged, including Biographer.
Biographer returned to action with a pleasing effort to finish third, beaten just over two lengths by Wild Botanica at Warwick Farm earlier las month, before another good performance behind Gold Revolver last time out.
Fitter third-up, he's a horse that does ten to improve noticeably with a couple of runs under his belt, and he should receive every chance today under Sam Clipperton.
1 Unit Biographer
RACE 8 - 4:55PM: Taste The Coast Food Festival 5th May 4YO&Up BM72 (1200m)
Waikiki is the one for me in the last at Gosford on Wednesday.
Waikiki only just missed behind Everyone's A Star at Randwick-Kensington first-up this time, before producing a similar performance behind the same horse at her latest.
Fitter third-up this week and Tommy Berry jumping into the saddle, this looks her chance to win.
2 Units Waikiki
