Race-by-race preview and tips for Tuesday meeting at Kembla Grange
Selections based on a heavy track.
Race 1
8. Just Like Tilda is a Divine Prophet filly on debut, and she comes into this on the back of a third in a Warwick Farm trial last month. She looks like she has talent, and this is a suitable race for her to start her career in. 3. Kowloon Victor is also on debut and has looked good in each of his two trials, finishing second in each of them. He's in a top stable and bears close watching. 4. Beauty Dash is a four-year-old mare having her first race start. She's had three trials, the latest of them when fourth at Warwick Farm on May 22. She bears close watching. 6. Doralee has had two runs back from a spell and performed well in each of them. A forward showing would not surprise.
How to play it: Just Like Tilda EACH WAY
Race 2
3. Empress Tsarina had shown enough talent in trials before having her first start during the Scone carnival and finishing a solid fourth behind I Am Brave. She's drawn ideally here in gate two and should have derived benefit from that experience. Another good run is on the cards. 1. Strassman ran well enough when fifth here when resuming and followed that up with a sound third at this track. He since ran fifth at Goulburn as favourite but is worth another chance. 2. Bohemian Art ran second on debut at Newcastle and then finished fifth here last time out when safely held. She needs to lift but is capable of doing so. 7. Awaken The Dream resumes in this and can lift on her debut effort at Newcastle in December.
How to play it: Empress Tsarina WIN
Race 3
2. Navy Buoy has only had five starts but has been placed in three of them. He comes into this on the back of a fourth at this track and the step up in distance looks made to order. 1. Ant ran home well when a last start third at Canterbury and only needs to run up to that to be a leading chance here. 3. So Suave is lightly raced and looks an improver, while 6. Garinion Righ was close-up at Goulburn at her latest start and can figure.

Race 4
9. Calyx Rose hit her straps winning at Cowra and Newcastle at the end of her initial campaign, and she resumes here. She's had two trials and looks set to resume with another bold showing having been close-up in each of them. 3. Il Passero has two wins and two placings from four runs back from a spell and is worth plenty of thought. 2. Invade And Conquer went down narrowly when second here last time out, while 1. Hot Bandit has been racing well enough to pose a threat.
