5. Brutal Belle has been racing well with two recent seconds, at this track and then at Wagga. She looks suited by the small field here and has the advantage of barrier one. 1. Brannum finished second at Nowra and then this track either side of a spell. His form has slipped in his past two starts, but he can be expected to improve in this line-up. 4. Run Raymond Run was placed on the Acton track at Canberra when resuming from a spell and is capable of going on with the job now, while 3. Delago Serg has finished third in each of his past three starts, including two at this track, and is among the chances again.

How to play it: Brutal Belle to win.

1. Blanc De Noir is a well-above-average mare that had five starts when in the care of Michael Freedman and was placed in each of them. She resumes here on the back of two trials for new trainer Mitchell Beer and won the latest of them at Kembla Grange. She should be winning this. 2. Noble Ruby is first up from a spell and has been placed in five of 10 starts. 5. Glenn's Legacy ran second on debut at Wagga and resumes here, while 7. Remy's Bro made his debut here after a third in a trial at this track.

1. Captain Nay is a talented galloper with a good record and was a winner at Queanbeyan before being spelled. He resumed with a second at Wagga and is set to continue his consistent form. 2. Abstruse ran sixth in the same event Captain Nay contested last time out and warrants thought. 6. Manwari was not far away at Goulburn at his last start and should be thereabouts, while 3. Vereeva has finished fourth in two starts since winning here.

2. Write Your Own has had three starts since joining the new stable and followed a second at Goulburn two starts ago with a fourth at Nowra when last produced. This isn't overly hard, and he get back into winning form. 1. Geemes is a former Ciaron Maher-trained galloper on debut for a new stable here after a Kembla Grange trial and bears close watching. 4. Caravanserai failed at Nowra after a win at Bathurst, but can lift in this line-up, while 7. Kool Bird has solid place claims.
