Hit the line strongly from last when third to Ridgeback in his Hawkesbury trial on July 7. HAMMOON HEROINE (4) is a debutant by Zoustar. Nice trial behind Miracle Spin at Randwick. Bet: Hurry Miss â– â– â– â– â– CINSAULT (1) gets her chance to break through for her maiden win. Placed in metropolitan company in her first seven starts. Sat outside the leader when runner-up to Cross Tasman over this trip at Hawkesbury last start. GYRA (2) ran a handy race on debut when second to Atomic Clock on the Beaumont last December before finishing sixth at her next two runs twice in town. ENTRAPMENT (8) is a first starter by Star Witness. Tracked the leader came along the fence for a three-quarter length second to Savvy Hallie in her Rosehill trial. Bet: Cinsault to win â– â– â– â– â– RACE 3: Win Corporation Mdn Plate 1300m VALEDICTORIAN (8) was given a shot at some the top two-year-old races in his three starts. He finished seventh in the Breeders Plate on debut and returned his next prep with a three-quarter length fourth to Rivellino in the Skyline. Closed smartly to win his latest Randwick trial. KARMARDO (2) was good in both start when second to Exclusive Artist here on Feb 9 and fourth to Jacob's Ladder a month later. Trialling well including a win in his July 11 Randwick heat. TONG HO (7) has place claims. Bet: Valedictorian to win â– â– â– â– â– ZOUSTRONG (2) took improvement from his debut run at Moruya and finished third to stablemate Commanding Belle over 1300m here last start. Can improve again and extra trip will suit. WILD THOUGHTS (1) was spelled after a debut third to Modella here in January. Returned with safely held second to Cold Brew over 1300m at Hawkesbury. By So You Think from a Pierro mare, he will keep improving as he gets out over ground. AUTUMN HEIR (7) has finished fourth at his past two runs over 1650m and 1600m. Bet: Zoustrong each-way â– â– â– â– â– COMMANDING BELLE (4) was good in her first four starts with varying degrees of luck including a third to Rivellino on debut at Randwick. Broke her maiden with a smart win this track and distance last start and can go back-to-back. VETWELVE (1) had also shown handy ability including a couple of placings in midweek company. Sat outside the leader at Wyong and raced away to beat Justice Warrior who won his next start. Drops back from a Randwick Midway. MONTIGO BAY (5) and AFFERMATO (2) have place claims. â– â– â– â– â– JAMARNI (4) was held up in the straight never tested when ninth to Autumn Dream last start.

SAN GIOVANNI (5) was specked on debut at Newcastle where settled back third last before closing strongly to beat Bella Wahine over 1200m. From a 1400m stakes winner so he should appreciate the extra trip. SWEXAN (3) led and held on for a narrow win over 1450m at Muswellbrook last start. TWILIGHT ELEGANCE (4) stepped up to 2100m for the first time when a closing third to Malbork Castle at Hawkesbury after being held up between the 400m and 300m. Raced outside the leader when a nice winner over 2100m at Gosford. Up to 2400m and should handle it.

STYLEBENDER (2) was beaten a nose at Grafton last start when shooting for the hat-trick. â– â– â– â– â– BEV'S NINE (6) started favourite on debut at Wyong and got the job done nicely with a length-and-a-quarter win from Gamp. Good chance to back-to-back. DUKE OF BRONTE (1) was an easing favourite when he resumed with a third to the in-form Mal Coupe after racing keenly on Hawkesbury on July 3. He is a 68 rater and the 3kg gets him into this race nicely. WAVE BREAKER (5) raced on speed in her first two runs back in metropolitan company.

Best bets and inside mail for racing at Kembla on Tuesday
The Daily Telegraph form expert Shayne O'Cass runs his eye over the meeting slated for Kembla Grange on Tuesday. â– â– â– â– â– KEMBLA BEST BETS WITH SHAYNE O'CASS BEST BET Race 2 No. 5: Cathedral Cove Sent out some good signs late here last time at 1200m; 1300m today. NEXT BEST VALUE Race 6 No. 9: Magic Shadow Should have finished closer and higher up the order first-up. DAILY DOUBLE 1st Leg: 3, 2nd Leg 3 QUADDIE Race 4: 1,2,3,5,9 Race 5: 3,9 Race 6: 6,9 Race 7: 3 JOCKEY TO FOLLOW Tyler Schiller has some good rides at Kembla on Tuesday. Pharoah Queen is by US Triple Crown winner American Pharoah out of Tasmanian Oaks winner Causeway Lass and on top of that, a very close relation to Sunlight. Granted, it is always hard to win on debut and harder still on a rain affected track but the trials reflect more talent than they suggest on face value. Monte Veebee has been very costly to follow bearing in mind he was beaten at $1,28 ar Albury last start. Going to get there one day soon. This is just the most perfect race for Elegant Artist, more so if the track improves. Bet: Pharaoh Queen each-way RACE 2 Cathedral Cove was unplaced in his first four starts but comes into this race off two seconds and a third. That third was here at Kembla on April 15 where he came from seventh of 12 at the turn to finish third. He had 59kgs that day in a much better race than this where he drops down to 56kgs and gets an extra 100m to run them down. Easy to like. Washik has been in the best form of her career this preparation. She makes genuine appeal down there on 53.5kgs. Strassman could/should strip fitter for his first-up fifth in 'the Cathedral Cove race'. Bet: Cathedral Cove to win (best bet), trifecta 5 (standout), 1,3.10 (boxed) RACE 3 Livin' Thing wins the prize for best named horse on the day being out of a mare called Electric Light. Think - song. This son of Yes Yes Yes was a hugely impressive debut winner at Hawkesbury back in September last year. ran two decent races after that and spelled. Resumes here off two lovely Randwick trials. Ciaron Maher filly Berezka makes her NSW debut here. Lightly-raced, well-bred type, who has won twice at Caulfield and only four off the winner in the G3 Quezette last prep. Bet: Livin' Thing to win, quinella 5,6 RACE 4 Kervette has only managed two wins in her 21 starts but she has placed nine times. In fact, you would be hard pressed to find many 'bad' runs on her C.V. Interestingly, her second career start was at Warwick Farm where and when she ran fifth to Tom Kitten. No issues with the wet tracks it seems and really powered home, big time, at her Kembla debut last start. Strawberry Impact has a win and a second in his only two runs at this venue. Go well. Bet: Kervette to win, quinella 5,9, box trifecta 1,3,5,9 RACE 5 Superhero is out of Mine Two was fourth to English in a Reisling and also a close relation to G1 winner Spright. Superhero has done some good things in his eight starts. He won his maiden over 1400m which is his 'trip' but first-up today over 1200m on a big track armed with two excellent trials makes him easy to like. Ready To Rocket has the advantage of a recent race run and it was a ripper. Maybe barrier 10 of 10 on a Heavy track is a winning draw? Bet: Superhero to win, quinella 3,9, Daily Double 1st Leg 3, 2nd Leg 3 RACE 6 Magic Shadow was $14/$21/$18 and SP'ed at $19 when resuming recently. Point there is, that's a little whiff of a smoke for the horse when he was first-up at Wyong (wrong track for him) off two really nice, but unhurried trials. The long and the short of it is that he should have finished much higher up the order than he did. It was more than a pass-mark, he was the of Divine Vicky's best form is at Kembla. Straand Beauty, Inside Man are both capable of winning. Bet: Magic Shadow each-way Flying Embers has accepted for Warwick Farm tomorrow Just for the record, the John Thompson trained mare has a very tidy little C.V of two wins and two seconds from her six starts including on April 21 where she was beaten an inch at Canterbury. Not many more consistent horses racing today than Presides who has only missed out on a medal once in nine starts. Trained here and, like most Lonhro's, he has no issue whatsoever on Heavy tracks. All Black really wasn't anywhere near as bad as ninth of 11 would suggest.
