WAGGA RIVERSIDE: RACE 6 @ 3:45 PM
TOES IN THE WATER (9) promising filly resuming. Can continue where she left off last time in when winning two in a row in dominant style. Since fitted with a 900m trial at Canberra on March 29. Destined for better things and gets all the map favours today. KAPPY'S ANGEL (4) mixing her form and will find this more to her liking. Up in grade when shuffled back from an inside draw to finish tenth over 1175m at Albury on March 21. LUNA ROCKS (2) returned from a lengthy spell with an eye-catching second over 1000m at Albury on March 22. Goes just as well second-up and can play a leading role. CAMERLENGO (1) next best.
SELECTIONS: Toes In The Water to win.

TAMWORTH: RACE 6 @ 4:40 PM
OUR BOY OLLIE (7) comes out of a couple of Country Championships qualifiers in decent form, the latest effort a close fifth in the Scone Wildcard over this distance. Cherry ripe after four runs back, likes racing here, and is beautifully in after the claim. OLAKAU'ATU (9) returned to form last time out when a closing second in heavy going over 1500m at Coffs Harbour. Very fit gelding who looks a danger with the blinkers back on for this. AESTHETE (11) dominated a Bm66 field over this course and distance two runs back before failing at 1200m last start. Up in class but he gets weight relief and is back to his preferred trip. SMOOTH ESPRIT (5) flew home at the end of 1100m at Dubbo when resuming a month ago. Won in open company over this distance last prep so don't take him lightly.
SELECTIONS: Our Boy Ollie looks hard to beat.
KEMPSEY: RACE 7 @ 4:55 PM
OCTOBER REVOLUTION (7) smart sprinter with a good record over this trip and in the heavy going. Sat on the speed with the big weight in the heavy (8) going when a slick 1.1 len winner over this journey at Taree on March 26. Looks up to this grade with the claim and will prove hard to run down again. MARKWELL DREAMER (4) has been kept fresh since running in town when a tiring ninth over 1000m at Warwick Farm on March 6. At his top now and has placed in heavy (10) going. Improvement expected. POLYLITHIC (2) former Queenslander now in the care of Tony Ball. Kept fresh after tiring late when seventh over this trip at Dalby on March 2. Wide gate no help and can sneak into the minor money. OMAR (5) fitter after two runs back and best form is over this trip. Tired late when second-up when ninth over 900m at Newcastle on March 21. Maps well and looks good each way value.
SELECTIONS: October Revolution to win.
LONGREACH: RACE 1 @ 1:42 PM
ENERGIZED (7) found the line nicely last start for second over 1000m at Barcaldine, beaten only half length. Looks suited by the longer journey so gets his chance to break through. INREADYNESS (5) finished 0.9 lengths from the winner in third in a much better run last time at Emerald over 1000m. Draws deeper but is expected to be in the finish. DAULAT MACHTIGKUDA (3) produced a better run last start, beaten 2.3 lengths into fourth over 1000m at Barcaldine. Capable of featuring prominently. TWO OF US (11) faded out last time but was racing well before that so is worth another chance.
SELECTIONS: Energized to break through.
