Tips and race-by-race guide for Narromine on Sunday
Selections based on a good track. Race 1 1. Monte Azul is a well-bred gelding making his debut here, and he comes into this having finished fifth in a recent trial at Scone. Chelsea Hillier was aboard in the trial and she retains the ride in this. Monte Azul isn't in an overly tough race here and he can make a winning impact. 4. Missy Moss ran the best race of her career when a close-up second at Mudgee when last produced, and she looks to have the talent to give this race a shake, while 2. Jasper's Way contested the same race as Missy Moss when he was on debut, and he wasn't too far away in that event and can lift on that performance. 6. Champagne Tingle is yet to be placed from her four starts, but has shown enough to be rated a place chance here. How to play it: Monte Azul to win. Race 2 2. Blutins is a Prized Icon gelding on debut after two trials in which he's finished last at Scone in January and an improved second at Scone in a recent hit-out this month. Grant Buckley was in the saddle in the last trial and sticks for this. 4. Micro Mikki resumes from a spell here for a new stable and scored an easy trial win at Dubbo in preparation. 1. Best Defence wasn't beaten far when third at Dubbo at his last start and is suited here with the apprentice claim. 12. Pontoon Prince hasn't been far away in a number of his starts despite being unplaced in his career. How to play it: Blutins to win. Race 3 9. Imastatement resumed from a spell for her second start and showed speed to lead before being caught late when finishing second at Dubbo. She should get every chance from the inside gate. 10. Matilda Of Tuscany is on debut, and she has looked good in her past two trials. Expect her to run well. 11. Show'Emtome has had a recent trial leading into this debut and she shouldn't be underestimated. 1. Antilles resumes here for a new stable and her recent trial was sound. How to play it: Imastatement to win. Race 4 4. Mighty Zou is better for two runs back from a spell over 1200m and 1400m and looks suited by the step up to the mile here. He broke his maiden over this trip at Taree in September and only needs to overcome a wide alley. 12. Sweet As A Kiss ran well when a last-start second at Dubbo at her second run for the new stable. 8. Twenty Four Guns has been racing well with seconds at his past two starts, while 6. Crown Legend disappointed at Orange last time out but can improve. How to play it: Mighty Zou to win.
