Form analyst Adam Sherry provides his best bets, value selection and analysis of the quaddie legs for Goulburn and Casino on Friday. The Form: Complete NSW Racing thoroughbred form, including video replays and all you need to know about every horse, jockey and trainer. Find a winner here! GOULBURN BEST BET Race 8 No. 3: ORTHIE'S BOYS Runner-up here at only visit and has recent solid provincial form. NEXT BEST Race 7 No. 3: BOMBELLEISTIC Excelled in a very strong Class 1 at Scone on Cup Day. VALUE BET Race 4 No. 6: ROUGE HOMME Lightly-raced. natural/raw talent, in good hands here at the track. QUADDIE Race 5: 1, 5, 8, 11 Race 6: 2, 3, 4 Race 7: 2, 3 Race 8: 3 JOCKEY TO FOLLOW JAY FORD has ridden 133 of his 1,408 career winners at Goulburn. Jay Ford can add to his solid record at Goulburn. Picture: Bradley Photos CASINO BEST BET Race 3 No. 9: MERAPI Could not be better placed at her second run for an astute new yard. NEXT BEST Race 2 No. 4: HOMELAND Placed four from 10. Reliable and drawn well this time. VALUE BET Race 6 No. 10: LOVE RAT Big run first-up in a much superior Benchmark 58 to what this is. INSIDE MAIL - GOULBURN RACE 5: GOULBURN POST MAIDEN HANDICAP 1500m SHE REX (1) is trained by Ciaron Maher who also trains her very close relation, Pride Of Jenni. She Rex might end up being a good investment on her $240,000 Inglis Classic Sale outlay in 2023. So far, she has placed at five of her six starts; she has been terribly costly, but in much better races than this. Zero excuses. HIDDEN MOGUL (11) doesn't know how to run a bad race. She could potentially make this favourite earn the win. Bet: She Rex to win, exacta 1 to beat 11 RACE 6: ABERNETHY GORE SOLICITORS COUNTRY BOOSTED BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1500m LETHAL LADY (2) was so unlucky it wasn't fair at Wagga during the carnival. Fast forward to her last start and she was third at the Sapphire Coast when coming from a long way back as usual. That's not easy to do there. Easier here though. Luke Pepper is flying himself but he's also got HELL OF A FOX (3) on a hat-trick. In fact, she should be going for four straight since she got down to Canberra. Bet: Lethal Lady to win, quinella 2, 3, Daily Double 1st leg 2, 2nd leg 3 RACE 7: HIBERNIAN HOTEL BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1600m BOMBELLEISTIC (3) is the fourth foal of his dam; all of her foals are housed by Team Joseph/Jones who bred the lot of them. As this for one, he has a win and two seconds from eight starts but you could argue that nothing he has done has contained as much merit as his fifth in very strong Class 1 at Scone on Cup Day. CHEBICI (2) is on a hat-trick. Easy to like with the good alley and Coriah Keatings doing the right thing by her all the time. Bet: Bombelleistic to win, box trifecta 2, 3, 5, 9 RACE 8: CAMPBELL PETROLEUM DISTRIBUTORS BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1200m ORTHIE'S BOYS (3) has been with Richard Collett for the last three of his five career starts. Those were; a barnstorming second here, another 'from last' fourth at Gosford then a fading on-pace fifth at Kembla. Maybe he didn't see out the 1400m but we're back to 1200m in weaker grade today. For what it is worth, I think COUGARS (1) is a pretty handy horse and sure, they've all got to carry big weights here, but he's got the biggest and 62kg is a big number. Bet: Orthie's Boy to win INSIDE MAIL - CASINO RACE 6: BACK TO THE ROYAL COUNTRY BOOSTED BENCHMARK 58 SHOWCASE HANDICAP 1200m LOVE RAT (10) is a get back and run on type, perhaps better suited at Grafton but here we are at Casino. The son of Love Conquers All has a troubling second-up record but if you can overlook that and the wide draw, he is in this with as a good a chance as any and better than most. AYE AYE SKIPPER (1) is in fabulous form, and has been for a while too, but this is as bad a draw as the horse has been dealt in all that time. Bet: Love Rat each-way RACE 7: CASINO FOOD CO-OP CASINO FLYING 1000m DIS IS HEAVEN (5) is '3213' heading into the Casino Flying. They were all good quality affairs too, but none were any harder than his May 7 assignment at Warwick Farm when and where Colt Prosser's gelding was an honourable third. Stablemate and MNC Championships Qualifier placegetter BJORN IRONSIDE (4) has raced once at 1000m; that was the day he carried 62kg at Taree when he won by two lengths. Bet: Dis Is Heaven to win, quinella 4, 5, box trifecta 1, 3, 4, 5, DD 1st Leg 5, 2nd Leg 5 RACE 8: CASINO RSM CLUB BEEF WEEK CUP 1400m SECRET PLAN (1) is a Queenslander, via Perth, Melbourne and Sydney. The Bob Peters-bred galloper has been with Tony and Maddysen Sears for the last three runs, the most recent of them was a third at Eagle Farm. On-pace type with a manageable weight now after Jett Newman's claim. COLLAY'S SPIRIT (4) could very well tally up his 10th career win, third-up. Note that Luke Rolls is one win and two placings on the horse. The best CENOTES (6) is better than a lot of these. Bet: Secret Plan to win RACE 9: WAL'S CONCRETING CLASS 3 SHOWCASE HANDICAP 1400m MONTE MAXIMUS (5) probably deserves a bit more credit for his last handful of runs than would normally be afforded to a horse with a '7295' lead in. All in all, 1400m is in the right range for the Noel Mayfield-Smith-trained son of Invader and he gets a little bit of weight off on what he has been carrying lately. Former Godolphin galloper STYLISED (1) is ready to produce now that he is out to 1400m. The more scratchings the better in view of that wide alley. Bet: Monte Maximus each-way

Wyong preview: Kristen Buchanan feels a more mature Shoutaboutit is ready to run a bold race at home
Trainer Kristen Buchanan was suitably happy with the first-up performance of Shoutaboutit and is excited to see what she can do on her home track. The daughter of Overshare settled fourth and was wide on the bend before finishing fourth to Body Of Venus over 1100m at Port Macquarie. While it was a handy effort and one she will improve on in fitness, Buchanan is also pleased to see Shoutaboutit return with greater maturity. 'She only had the one trial leading into her first-up run and she ran well at Port Macquarie,' said Buchanan. 'She is a nice, genuine filly. She has really calmed down this preparation. 'She was really fiery as a young horse but she has matured nicely during her spell.' 🗣ï¸� That's something to shout about! Shoutaboutit gets her first win with Jay Ford on board for @kbuchananracing! @hawkesburyrc â€' SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) October 10, 2024 The Form: Complete NSW Racing thoroughbred form, including video replays and all you need to know about every horse, jockey and trainer. Find a winner here! Last time in, she won her maiden from Leantothemoon at Hawkesbury before a third to Phenom at Wyong and a fourth to the unbeaten Private Harry at Hawkesbury. The three-year-old steps up in grade but drops in weight when she steps out in the Midway Benchmark 64 Handicap (1000m) where he has drawn ideally in barrier 4. 'She isn't in a Class 1 which she is eligible for but a Benchmark 64 which is something to consider but I don't think it's crazy,' Buchanan said. 'She has drawn a lovely gate to get an ideal run. 'In fact, all my horses have drawn good gates which is nice. 'I'm looking forward to getting her back out there and seeing what she can do.' While the market has Justice Warrior on the second line of betting, Buchanan isn't sure of the three-year-old will take his place in the Super Maiden Plate (1100m) despite his good draw. The son of Justify and dual Group 1 winner Srikandi finished runner-up to Cashaway Gold when resuming at Port Macquarie before a three-quarter length second to King's Secret at Gosford. 'He has been good in both runs this time in and I really want him to win at his next start,' she said. 'This looks like a tough race with a lot of on speed pressure. 'I know he has drawn well and if there were one or two leaders in there, it would be different but not five and he's a horse who doesn't take a sit and run on. ðŸ'´ðŸ'µ WINNER ðŸ'´ðŸ'µ ROSE OF DUBAI (3F ex Bella Pronto) and Luke Rolls lead all the way @newcastleraces_ on debut. The daughter of @coolmorestud PRIDE OF DUBAI was a purchase from @WillowParkStud draft at 2023 @inglis_sales HTBA. @CoolmoreAus @coolmoreamerica @TomMagnier â€' Minervini Racing (@minerviniracing) April 12, 2025 'I will wait until the last minute and see what scratchings there are before making a final decision.' Buchanan also saddles up Oakfield Universe in the same race with Aaron Bullock to ride. The three-year-old only had one barrier trial heading into her debut and despite racing a little greenly, did a nice job to finish second behind the promising Rose Of Dubai over 1200m at Newcastle on April 12. She looks a filly who will be better over further so coming back to 1100m may not be ideal but from barrier 1 with plenty of speed up front, she should get a nice cart into the race and finish strongly. Buchanan was pleased with the debut of Ready Made Heir when fourth behind King's Secret over an unsuitably short 1100m and feels she will be better suited stepping up in trip. The daughter of King's Legacy goes to 1350m this week in the Maiden Handicap for fillies and mares. 'It was a good effort first-up and I thought it was a great ride by Andrew (Gibbons) to get where he did from the terrible alley. 'I like the step up to 1350 metres for her and looking forward to seeing what she can do.' â– â– â– â– â– As Goulburn trainer Neil Osborne and his wife Denise prepare for their annual working holiday to Coffs Harbour, he hopes to take a couple of last start winners with him from his home track meeting. Spirits Burn Deep finished eighth behind Hooligan Tommy in a Benchmark 66 at Goulburn on March 11 but Osborne feels it's best to forget the run. Racing outside the leader, Spirits Burn Deep and Off Shaw took each other on up front which set the race up for the swoopers. Prior to that, the daughter of Deep Field led all-the-way to win at Goulburn before a third to Exit Fee in a Class 3 Highway at Rosehill February 22. 'It was two apprentices who should have been sent back to apprentice school,' Osborne said. 'If you take that run out of it, she has been very genuine. 'I was always planning on giving her a month off after that race because she had been up long enough.' Spirits Burn Deep shows plenty of toe for an all the way victory! Jon Grisedale aboard for Neil Osborne. â€' SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) August 1, 2023 Spirits Burn Deep returns from her break in the Benchmark 58 Handicap (1000m) where she has drawn ideally in barrier 2. 'I would think she would a good chance,' he said. 'She will go up to Coffs Harbour with us after this run. 'There's the Mother's Gift at Grafton during the carnival which would be a nice race for her.' Handy gelding Ronny Rock Art is chasing a deserved win when he tackles the Benchmark 66 Handicap (1300m). The son of Wandjina worked hard to the outside barrier and just felt the pinch late when beaten under two lengths by Los Padres when sixth at Kembla last start. Prior to that, he was a close third at Gundagai. 'He probably needed a bit of cover but ended up outside the leader all-the-way. He wasn't beaten far though,' he said. 'It was a very good run in a much stronger race than he faces this week. 'He is a genuine old horse and will be a chance again. 'He will go to Coffs Harbour as well. He loves it up there and wins a race every year.' Osborne third runner for the day is Loui Long Legs who makes his debut in the Maiden Handicap (1000m). The Divine Prophet three-year-old was a handy third to Imasuperstar in his Canberra trial on April 26. 'The horse who won it has won four races. Take it out and it's a really good trial,' he said. 'He will be better when he gets out over a mile.
