Selections based on a good track. 3. Adventure Seeker is a filly by The Autumn Sun having her first race start here after two barrier trials.
She has been behind the placings in each of those on the Acton track at Canberra and then at Hawkesbury. This distance looks like it will suit and she is primed to run a good race. Dangers: 2.
A Double Degree has been placed in each of his latest two starts, beaten under a lengtheach time. He’s lightly raced and looks to be on an upward spiral. This looks a suitable race for him.
5. Dashing Power led and battled on well when third at Queanbeyan last time out and although he’s had plenty of chances, he warrants respect here. 1.
Tabei was placed on debut at Nowra, but has failed in each of her two runs either side of a spell since then. She can improve here. How to play it: Adventure Seeker to win.
There are eight races on the card at Moruya on Tuesday. Credit: Jenny Evans 5. Let’s Go Again performed well in a trial earlier in the year before debuting with a fourth at Queanbeyan.
She backed that up with a second at this track and was spelled. She resumes here. Dangers: 1.
Commandoro was on debut for a new stable and ran well here last time out when finishing second. He has the talent to give it a big shake. 8.
Power Smash has had two trials, winning the latest of them at Randwick, and has shown enough ability to be rated a leading contender, while 9. Noble Ruby debuted with a second at this track and is sure to be prominent again in this line-up. How to play it: Let’s Go Again to win.
6. Nagadec is a mare on debut and she has been fitted for this with two trials either side of a break. She ran third in the most recent of them at this track and she looks ready to make an impact.
Dangers: 1. Bounty By Knight ran fifth at Wagga at his latest start and returns from a break here on the back of a trial at Canberra. He’s been placed in three of six starts and should be primed to run well.
8. Bubble Tea has only had three starts and has been placed in each of them. She’s a handy filly and can show up here without surprising.
10. Showtime Maggie is on debut and her trial at Canberra was solid. This looks a nice race for her to start her career.
How to play it: Nagadec to win. 3. Fourcade comes into this on the back of a good fourth at Rosehill in Highway grade.
She’d won at the Sapphire Coast and been placed here in the two runs before that. Her form is great for this event. Dangers: 4.
Soho Sushi was a winner at this track three starts ago, then finished second here before tackling Highway grade when midfield last time out. She can improve here. 1.
Peruno is a last-start winner at this track and should show up again with a repeat, while 6. Major Desire won at Queanbeyan before being spelled and ran well in a trial leading into this. How to play it: Fourcade to win.
5. Asuriito looked good in his trials before debuting at this track and scoring a strong win after racing on the speed. He only needs to run up to that to be hard to beat again.
Dangers: 3. Laguna Seca broke through to score a win at the Sapphire Coast last time out when leading throughout. He’s shown the talent in his career to be able to go on with the job.
2. Tokyo Ice was a winner at Nowra before finishing fifth at Wagga when not beaten far. She can race well in this company.
7. Hermosa Rosa scored a solid win at Orange at her latest start and she wasn’t disgraced in two midfield efforts before that. She looms as a chance here.
How to play it: Asuriito to win. 1. Gogol hit the line well to score a strong win at Wagga two starts ago, then led and fought on well to be beaten less than a length when fourth on the Acton track at Canberra at his latest start.
He’s drawn well and the apprentice claim will assist. Dangers: 2. Master Joe resumes here from a lengthy spell on the back of a recent second in a trial at Goulburn.
His form before the break was solid and he’s only missed a place four times from 14 starts. 5. Fourth Spargo has only missed a place once from nine starts and has won two of her last three starts, with the last three runs being at this track.
She is sure to make an impact again. 7. Princeston won at this track in October last year and ran well in provincial grade before being spelled.
How to play it: Gogol each way. 2. Where Is Ken is a consistent performer with two wins and a further seven placings to his name from 15 starts.
He improved on a run at Sale when racing on the speed and finishing third at Wagga when last produced. Dangers: 1. Spritely Emily wasn’t beaten far when midfield at Goulburn and then hit the line well last time out to score at this track.
She’s racing in great heart and warrants respect again here. 3. Easy Company was placed when resuming at the Sapphire Coast and has been midfield in to runs since.
7. Prince Papa ran second here two starts ago and then ran third at Queanbeyan when last produced. He warrants plenty of thought again here.
How to play it: Where Is Ken to win. 5. Astrogazer led them up when he debuted with a solid second at this track last month, then showed the benefit of that run when scoring a good win as favourite at Wagga at just his second start.
He’s drawn to get the run of the race from gate one here and is poised to win again. Dangers: 1. Capital Heart only has one win to his name, but has a number of placings.
He resumed at Newcastle last time out and was down the track. This is easier and he can bounce back. 3.
Dark Vador resumed from a spell with a fourth at Nowra and then ran eighth at Kembla Grange. He should also find this more to his liking. 6.
Trianon won here in July and comes into this on the back of a last start fourth here. He could sneak into the placings. How to play it: Astrogazer to win.
Best Bets: Race 4 (3) Fourcade; Race 8 (5) Astrogazer. Best Value: 6 (1) Gogol. Supplied by Racing NSW Full form and race replays available at racingnsw.
