Kembla Grange Picks

IRISH ANTHEM ran on strong to finish on the winner's heels last start at Hawkesbury and gets the blinkers back on, serious player. KAZOTSKY only just missed last start, finishing three quarters of a length back from the winner at Newcastle when first up, in with a chance. MORE VOLTAGE just missed at long odds last start at Hawkesbury and won't be far away in the run, looks threatening. STELLA SIMONE placed when fresh and finished midfield last start at Wagga, quinella.

COPACABANA just missed when heavily backed last start at Hawkesbury. Has won at Newcastle and placed in all other attempts this campaign, well placed. GRACEFUL ARTIST finished midfield last start at Kembla Grange and should run fitter for past attempts, don't treat lightly. CRISTAL CLEAR can't knock the form winning two in a row at Hawkesbury and Goulburn, in with a chance. SATNESS faded to finish eighth last start at Hawkesbury and up in journey, place only.

FLEET COMMANDER finished fourth last start at Kensington and Dylan Gibbons a bonus, genuine contender. HIGHBORN HARRY placed once this prep at Hawkesbury and rates highly with Keagan Latham aboard, cannot be ruled out. SPITFIRE finished sixth last start at Kembla Grange and up in trip, dangerous. SOCRATES goes well in the wet and a track specialist winning twice at Kembla Grange, not without each-way claims.

Looks a race where the form will stand up. FRENCH RULER first-up after 15 week break and in the money at only start running second at Canterbury on a heavy track, a winning chance. CHIBA failed to win as a favourite at only start at Hawkesbury and gets the blinkers back on, looks threatening. APOLLO RIDGE first start and trialling well, could upset. THE ACT narrowly beaten when heavily backed at only start at Wyong and has the speed to overcome an unfavourable draw, place only.

CELESTIAL BLING resumes from a long 52 week spell and trialling well, key chance. IDOLISED placed at only start at Kembla Grange, not without each-way claims. EFFLEURE trial win in the 27 days since last race adds confidence, not the worst. JUST FEELIN' LUCKY resumes after a 20 week spell, place claims.

This is a wide open race. SUPER ZIPPI resumes after a 22 week spell and led all the way to win last start to break maiden at Canterbury on a soft track, among the main chances. ELEGANT EMPRESS placed once this prep at Warwick Farm and likely to race on the speed, must be considered. MISTY LEGEND let-up for six weeks and Andrew Adkins has had success aboard previously, don't dismiss. LIFE COACH first-up after 13 week break and resumes well running second at Moruya when last first-up, the real danger in the race.

Impossible to go past the top pick. MONTE VEEBEE finished midfield last start at Rosehill Gardens and placed once this prep at nan, perfectly placed. THE THREE HUNDRED just missed as favourite last start at Hawkesbury when fresh and should race on the speed, place only.

Stand-out between the top two picks. FUGITIVA 2 wins from eight attempts this campaign and likely to race off the speed, genuine contender. BYRON should run fitter for past attempts and faded to finish two lengths off the winner last start at Randwick, consider. MEDIA FRENZY came on strong when just beaten last start at Kembla Grange and has two placings from four runs this prep, looks threatening. C'MON MATE has two placings from three runs this prep and finished a length back from the leader last start at Kembla Grange, don't dismiss.
