The Gosford Race Club gets set to host a very competitive nine-race card this Thursday from 11:40am local time. With little to no rain on the forecast leading in, punters should anticipate an upgrade from the current Heavy 8 rating to a Soft 6. The rail sits in the true position for the entire circuit, so it should be a fair day’s racing for all participants.
Best Bet at Gosford: Presides
Presides returns after a 145-day spell and appears set to strike first-up. He was sent to the paddock after a moderate performance at Cranbourne on December 22, with the James Cummings barn electing to send the son of Lonhro for a gelding operation. His two trails since have caught the eye, and with Zac Lloyd happy to stick aboard after taking the reins in both runs to date, Presides should be right in this.
Best Bet
Race 1 – 
#1 Presides (1)
3yo Gelding | T: James Cummings | J: Zac Lloyd (59kg)

Next Best at Gosford: Earth Dance
Earth Dance struggled in a slowly run affair last start at Canterbury on April 17 and should get favourable conditions while dropping into Class 1 company. He is third-up since arriving from Ireland, with the four-year-old’s best form — including his sole victory at Navan on September 2 — coming over a staying journey. A strong tempo and the sting out of the ground should suit, so watch for Joshua Parr to wind up Earth Dance down the centre of the course.

Race 6 – 
#2 Earth Dance (7)
4yo Gelding | T: Peter & Paul Snowden | J: Joshua Parr (59kg)

Best Value at Gosford: True Amor
The John O’Shea-trained True Amor debuts on the back of two strong barrier trials. His latest piece of work at Rosehill on May 2 particularly caught the eye, with the son of I Am Invincible asked to make inroads from the rear to score by two lengths. The two-year-old is starting to understand what it’s all about, and with class hoop Tommy Berry set to take the reins, True Amor looks progressive enough to get the job done at the first time of asking.
Best Value
Race 2 – 
#5 True Amor (9)
2yo Colt | T: John O’Shea | J: Tommy Berry (57kg)
