Race-by-race preview and tips for rescheduled Thursday meeting at Narrandera

This meeting was originally scheduled for Wagga Wagga on Tuesday but has been moved

Race 1

3. Due Calzini has struck winning form again of late, scoring on the Acton track at Canberra two starts ago and backing it up with a victory at Narrandera. He ran second at this track before those wins and there’s no reason he can’t go on with the job here. Quamby scored in good style at Wangaratta at good odds before a last-start close-up fifth at Seymour. 6. Sorry Sunshine was a winner here on a heavy 10 two starts ago and is up in distance for this. 1. Victory Roll is a well-performed middle-distance galloper from the Pat Murphy stable. He’s had three runs since returning from a freshen-up and is up in distance after a solid last start fourth at Moruya.

Race 2

8. Spice Of Dubai won a trial at this track before making her race debut with a fifth at Narrandera. She should have derived benefit from that experience and can run well here. 7. Performing Diva showed improvement when second at her second race start at Goulburn back in February. She resumes here and should be set to perform well again. 3. Too Darn Cold has finished third in three of six starts and has the talent to get into the money again. 1. Forte Cheval is on debut and has performed well in two recent trials.

Race 3

5. Pride Of Jezza followed a solid third at this track with a dominant last start victory here when finishing off strongly from back in the field. He looks promising and can be prominent again if he’s maintained that sort of form. 4. Darken raced on the speed and fought on well to score a last start Moruya win, and another bold showing is expected. 6. Flutterby has been in fine form with a number of second placings either side of a win at Wangaratta. She is worth including among the chances again. 9. Cayman Island was a last start second at Albury and can be thereabouts again.

Race 4

5. Choice Witness finished off in good style to win on a heavy track here two starts ago. She followed that up with a seventh at Sandown and is suited back to this company. 6. Kahawaty ran sixth at Canterbury when last produced and has the talent to show up in this grade. 1. Copperfield was an Albury winner before a last start midfield Narrandera Cup effort. 3. Mathrin also comes out of the Narrandera Cup in which she finished seventh.

Race 5

8. Impending Imprint is on debut from a good stable. She’s had two trials and won the latest of them at Albury. She looks primed to kick off her career with a win. 6. Belnera was a last start second at this track and only needs to have maintained that form to be a leading contender again here. 13. Triptolemus wasn’t beaten too far when midfield at Albury on debut and can show up, while 3. Mary Le Bone was beaten a long way when placed at Goulburn last time out.

Race 6

2. Antisocial was in form with wins at Swan Hill and this track before finished fourth at Corowa as favourite last week. She looks suited in this line-up, and the apprentice claim helps. 1. Hells Son hasn’t been too far away in two recent unplaced efforts, and his form before that was solid. 5. Witch Of November has been placed in each of her past three starts and looms as one of the main contenders here. 3. Irish Consort is resuming after more than a year away from racing. He was close-up when third in a recent Wangaratta trial.

Race 7

10. Winehouse broke her maiden when having her first start for Danny Beasley at this track three starts ago. She’s been safely held in both runs since then, but with the benefit of the good draw in this, she can bounce back to form. 4. Trouve scored in good style at Goulburn three starts back. He’s since finished third at Goulburn before a fourth at Gundagai. 8. Miss Pepeha comes here after a solid last start win at Narrandera, while 11. Apparate only has one win from 11 starts, but has shown some talent in her career.
How to play it: Winehouse EACH WAY

Race 8

5. Newyork Missile was close-up when fifth at this track two starts ago, then backed that up with a second at Albury when working home well. He’s drawn to get a good run from the inside gate. 6. Sundrop followed a second at Gundagai with a last start win at Narrandera. She’s also drawn to get a gun run from barrier two, and is worth plenty of thought. 2. Bellman has been racing well of late without winning and can show up without surprising. 7. Brie Brie was a last start winner at this track and can be thereabouts again with a repeat.
