Tips and race-by-race guide for Kembla Grange on Tuesday
Selections based on a heavy track.
Race 1
5. Coco Dior raced on the speed at this track two weeks ago and gave a good kick only to be run down late when finishing second to Waerea. She should get a run to suit again and can go one better. 4. Ratify was resuming from a spell when finishing fourth at Warwick Farm in a super maiden event a couple of weeks ago. He wasn’t far away when fourth in his first two starts and then took on better grade when sixth in the Spring Stakes at Newcastle before his spell. 2. Barrengarry ran fourth on debut at Nowra and was then spelled. He won a trial before resuming with a third behind Waerea here two weeks ago and should be in the thick of things again. 1. Derry City Felix has had two starts and followed a second on debut at this track with a fourth at Hawkesbury when not beaten too far.
How to play it: Coco Dior to win.

Race 2
4. Long Live is on debut after two trials, winning the first of them at this track before a fifth at Warwick Farm. He looks primed to run well. 10. Mimi’s was midfield at this track at her first start in June and was then spelled. She’s had two trials in preparation for this return and won the latest of them in the same event Long Live contested. 6. Gamp resumes on the back of two trials and won the latest of them. She’s been placed in five of her seven starts. 3. Gianluca is having his first start and was placed in his only trial at this track.
How to play it: Long Live to win.
Race 3
1. Ride The River resumed at this track last week, hitting the line well to finish second. That was his first run for the new stable and with improvement, he can make an impact here. 3. Trumper won at Newcastle in December and then failed in two runs later in the month. He is fresh for this, has had a trial and should be ready to run well. 7. Vantante is a last-start Wagga winner that can be thereabouts again, while 8. Shoutaboutit was placed at Gosford last time out and has claims.
How to play it: Ride The River to win.
Race 4
6. Bang On Time makes her debut here after three trials, winning the past two of them at this track with a big space between them. She bears close watching. 11. Royal Silver finished second in a Randwick trial and ran well in both city starts in January. 8. My Proclama ran well enough when third at this track when resuming and can be in the thick of things again. 4. Wishful Thinker resumes after two trials and is one of the chances.
