Selections based on a soft track.
Race 1
1. Dundee Tales had finished second in a couple of starts at Taree and Grafton before being ridden quietly at Grafton last time out and coming with a well-timed run to break his maiden. He shows some ability and looks capable of going in with the job in this. 2. Jimmy Nails was just worse than midfield at Grafton two starts ago, then followed that up with a third at Beaudesert when on the speed throughout. This is not out of his reach. 5. Rock The Machine has been placed in each of his past three starts and can easily get into the minor money again with a repeat, while 9. Shine Like It Does was midfield at Grafton before a last-start third at the same track, and she warrants respect.
How to play it: Dundee Tales each way.
