WARWICK FARM INSIDE MAIL
RACE 1: 3YO MAIDEN PLATE (1200m)
FROM THE PEAK (4) started an odds-on favourite on debut at Newcastle in March where she was left to lead and run down late by Maybe Moet. Led and held out Sovereign Hill in her latest trial at Randwick. MISS JONES (5) was bumped on the turn when fourth to Regimental Colours here first-up before a second behind Glorious Moments at Canterbury. THE STARS (7) was good in her first campaign including a nose second to Scalable at Canterbury and a third to Kilanova at Rosehill. Has been good in both recent Randwick trials.
BET: FROM THE PEAK to win.
RACE 2: 2YO F MAIDEN PLATE (1200m)
MERCY ME (6) is a first starter by Hellbent. Made steady ground under a hold when second in her Beaumont trial. Led and responded when shaken up to win her Wyong trial from Raging Force. BESIDE THE OCEAN (1) is a half-sister to Farnan by Zoustar on debut. Sat outside the leader to win her first Rosehill trial. Closed nicely late when second to Magical Star in her second heat on June 20. SEQUISTA (12) was just behind the placegetters behind Tempted and Agarwood before a close third to Pillow Fight at Canterbury.
BET: MERCY ME each-way.
RACE 3: BENCHMARK 64 (1200m)
KILONOVA (4) was backed from $5 into $3.50 on debut at Rosehill in February. Proved the market move right with a handy long-neck win from Fleeting Spirit over the 1200m. Was strong through the line without any pressure when just behind the placegetters in both recent trials. VERMICELLA (3) won on debut over 1200m at Queanbeyan and kicked off last campaign with a narrow win over the same track and distance. Wasn't pushed when third in her June 21 Queanbeyan trial. VANESSI (2) will take improvement from her first-up third to Livin' Thing on the Kensington.
BET: KILONOVA to win.
RACE 4: 5YO+ BENCHMARK 72 (1000m)
ELEGANT EMPRESS (7) was good in her first two runs back from a spell over 1100m on heavy tracks in town. Appreciated a drop back in grade and distance to score a gutsy win over 900m at Newcastle after racing wide. Has three wins and three placings over the 1000m. ROMEO'S CHOICE (1) the class runner resuming here. First go over 1000m but goes well fresh, gets a 3kg claim and was sharp in his 796m trial win here. ZARAGOZA (4) was a close second to Livin' Thing over 1000m at Kembla before a win and another second over that same track and distance.
BET: ELEGANT EMPRESS each-way.
RACE 5: 4YO+ BENCHMARK 72 (1400m)
AMERICAN STARLET (10) went back to last from her wide gate and made up a lot of ground to finish a two-length fifth behind Motoscafo in a 1200m Midway at Rosehill when resuming on June 14. Drawn ideally suited stepping up to 1400m. MORITZ GIRL (8) won a 1600m Highway from Fiorsum Fred at Randwick before a close second on the Kensington and a third in the Bega Cup last campaign. Will be improved by her first-up third to Denman Star at Canterbury. BELIEVE IN ANGELS (7) is backing up from a fifth on the Kensington last week.
BET: AMERICAN STARLET to win.
RACE 6: BENCHMARK 72 (1600m)
HOPPER (7) was well backed first-up and was good beating Gunroom who won his next start. He followed with a game second to Mickey's Medal at Rosehill before a handy fifth to Rotagilla at Randwick. Blinkers go on. PINK SHALALA (9) broke his maiden in a BM64 at Canterbury in February after three minor placings. Has finished in the money at his last three runs, the latest a third to Hasty Honey on the Kensington last week. NANA'S WISH (2) was just the placegetters in two Victorian runs before scoring a handy win from No Drama at Canterbury on June 18.
BET: HOPPER to win.
RACE 7: BENCHMARK 64 (1600m)
HOOLIGAN TOMMY (1) was impressive winning at Kembla two starts ago when he came from back in the field and raced away to score by over three lengths from Stay Tuned. Stepped up to a Randwick Midway when sixth to Callistemon on June 21. Back in grade and gets a 3kg claim. SISTER DAAE (8) defied a betting from $2.50 to $4 when she charged home down the outside to beat Invisible Magic in a Kensington Super Maiden on June 11. Has had an easy trial since. AROHA STONE (10) followed a close second to stablemate Caltsar at Kembla with a good win at Gosford. Ready for the step up to metropolitan company.
BET: HOOLIGAN TOMMY each-way.
