Tips and race-by-race guide for Moruya on Monday
How to play it: Think I Do to win. Race 4 9. Beauty Dash is an emerging mare which can break through at her fourth start. Will probably be forced a long way back from the wide barrier, but she's run home late into a place in her last couple, and should get more speed on here to allow her to work into the race a little earlier. 13. Wolf Island is a Canberra two-year-old resuming as a gelding for his second start, so the market will be a big indicator. 3. Brannum is also a market watch resuming for his third start from a low draw for another leading country stable. 6. McTominay is in the mix at his fifth start, having beaten all bar the winner in his last two, and gets some weight relief. 7. Shoreman is over the odds fourth-up getting back on turf. How to play it: Beauty Dash to win. Race 5 10. Miss Steffi is a Kembla-based and well-named two-year-old filly by Graff having her first start behind two trials. Will be better over further, but from an ideal draw where she can be tucked away with cover, only needs a clear crack at them over the final 300m. Over the odds for a very shrewd stable. 11. Spice Baby is another juvenile filly from Kembla on debut which draws the fence and has been fitted with two solid and recent trials. 1. Caravanserai is an ex-Godolphin three-year-old having his first run for the new Canberra stable off a six-month spell. Lightly raced and drawn wide, but has ability. 6. Molteuno can improve sharply at her second outing from a softer draw. 9. Brutal Belle can run into the minor money second-up. Gap to the rest. How to play it: Miss Steffi to win. Race 6 6. Getty is another one from Canberra primed to strike fresh for the in-form Matthew Kelley stable in another very open race. Can use his tactical speed from a low draw and comes to hand quickly. Handles all going. 3. Scissor Me Timbers, a capable and locally trained four-year-old, will be hard to hold out second-up with the blinkers added after doing his best work late here in a deeper BM 66 10 days ago. 1. Perigean is over the odds second-up with a gear change and coming back from that same race as the former. Keep safe 8. Rippana despite a class rise second-up, with a serious drop in weight after the claim. 4. Acheson, dropping back from a much tougher Class 3 Highway at Randwick, can figure in the minor money; while 5. Ditterich, down in weight second-up adds value into trifecta and first-four plays. How to play it: Getty to win. Race 7 6. Teepee Princess is a home-track filly primed to make it two straight to start her career reloading from an upset maiden win at at big odds. Market got it wrong last time, and given she's bred to get much further, only needs a fair run from a middle gate to finish stronger again. 3. Dame Annie is a progressive metropolitan mare coming off first-up win in heavy going against weaker opposition. 2. Lady Revolution is a betting watch first-up for four months behind a quiet trial. 5. Gooloo Bucky is progressive enough coming off a dominant second-up maiden win at this track 10 days ago. 4. Deni Gal is each-way value back in grade from the inside draw. How to play it: Teepee Princess to win. Race 8 3. Dolzino is a locally trained and improving four-year-old which shapes ideally third-up coming back from a much tougher Class 3 Highway at Rosehill, where he made up late ground. Settles closer in the run over more ground and from a more economical draw. Only needs a clear look at them from the top of the straight to claim a second career win. 2. Fire And Gemstone is over the mark from a handy draw after missing by under a length third-up here 24 days ago when freshened. 6. Thoughtful can run into the minor money third-up with the blinkers removed; while 9. Crazy Atom improves with blinkers going on.

Northam heads to Tamworth primed to snap run of near misses
A leading Scone stable is primed to bookend Monday's Tamworth meeting, and snap a recent run of narrow 'bridesmaid' finishes. Rodney Northam takes a strong team up the freeway from Scone for an open meeting on an improving and drying track, with his first and last well placed to take him back into the winner's stall. Opening the assault is progressive three-year-old Miss You So, which looks primed to peak third-up in a Maiden Plate over 1600m to open the card. A tough son of dual Cox Plate winner So You Think, Miss You So has done his best work late in two runs back from a spell over shorter trips. Then in the final race – Benchmark 58 Handicap over 1000m – one of the more emerging sprinters around the Hunter and New England regions shoots for a third straight win. This One Time, a progressive filly by Alabama Express, has won her last two in dominant fashion from just off the speed, and gets a firming track to suit. The Northam yard also saddles up a couple of solid chances through the middle of the meeting. Lightly raced See You Then resumes from the inside draw in a Maiden Plate over 1000m, while improving mare Great Point is a leading chance third-up in a Benchmark 58 Hcp over 1400m. The stable has been beaten by very small margins in four of its last five starts, including two in Saturday Class 3 Highway company.
