NSW racing continues at Gosford on Thursday afternoon with a competitive eight-race program set down for decision. The rail is out +3m for the meeting, and with a sprinkling of rain expected on Wednesday evening, we could awaken to a Soft 5 track. The first race is scheduled for 1:15pm AEDT.
Best Bet: Rhettara
We were impressed with the winning return of Rhettara at Hawkesbury on September 21, when she scored despite a horrid run in transit. The James Cummings-trained mare sat three wide with no cover for the duration of the 1000m journey and still produced a stunning turn-of-foot to clear out by 1.6 lengths. The four-year-old should have no issues getting to the 1100m for the first time, and with Zac Lloyd in the saddle again, Rhettara can make it back-to-back wins heading into BM64 company.
Best Bet
Race 6 – #3 Rhettara (5)
4yo Mare | T: James Cummings | J: Zac Lloyd (59.5kg)

Next Best: Blackcomb
Blackcomb will be having her third start since arriving at the Kris Lees barn, and she might have been searching for her third win in a row had she not bombed the start at Warwick Farm on September 20. The daughter of Vancouver was still brave to chase on a three-wide line, only defeated by less than a length. Dylan Gibbons has the job of getting the mare to leave the stalls evenly, and if she does, Blackcomb is the one to beat.
Next Best
Race 8 – #2 Blackcomb (6)
5yo Mare | T: Kris Lees | J: Dylan Gibbons (59kg)

Next Best Again: Highborn Harry
Highborn Harry was a shade disappointing first-up at Warwick Farm on September 20. The Harry Angel gelding got back to the rear of the field over a trip short of his best, and it was near-impossible to make significant ground on the leaders that day. He never shirked the task, though, still closing the margin on some ultra-talented opposition. This contest looks much easier, and despite the awkward draw in gate eight, we expect a much better performance by the David Payne-trained galloper.
Next Best Again
Race 2 – #3 Highborn Harry (8)
3yo Gelding | T: David Payne | J: Keagan Latham (57.5kg)
