2. Classic Deel hit the line well to go down narrowly when second at Coffs Harbour two starts ago, then again ran home well to finish second at Doomben. She failed to fire at Doomben last time out but can bounce back in this.
Dangers: 5. I’mtimmyzou followed a second at Murwillumbah with a last start runaway win at this track by a big margin. He’s drawn the rails here and should give plenty of cheek. 3. Sheriff Cody won at Grafton three starts ago and has been close-up in both runs since then. He should run well again.
How to play it: Classic Deel WIN.
Race 4 – 2:19PM LISMORE WORKERS CLUB SHOWCASE SUPER MAIDEN PLATE (1210 METRES)
8. Quality Miss has finished second in three of seven starts and two of those placings have been in each run since resuming. She’s drawn to get the run of the race from barrier two.
Dangers: 12. Wheeper is on debut and has had three solid trials to suggest a strong showing is on the cards. 9. Airswing was midfield on debut at Eagle Farm in May and resumes here on the back of two good trials.
How to play it: Quality Miss WIN.
Race 5 – 2:54PM BENNETT CONTRUCTIONS CLASS 1 SHOWCASE HANDICAP (1210 METRES)
1. Immortality ran well in this region at his first two starts for the new stable, before failing at Doomben at his latest start. He can improve on that in this.
Dangers: 7. Wolf Dancer was racing well before being spelled and should be ready to go well fresh after a strong trial. 9. Chockablock ran second at Murwillumbah two starts ago and can improve on the last start Gold Coast effort in this company.
How to play it: Immortality WIN.
Race 6 – 3:29PM GLOBAL LUBRICANTS UNTAMED SHOWCASE SPRINT (1210 METRES)
4. Majorelle has a great record with seven wins and six placings from 18 starts. He’s won two of three since resuming and did the job well to score here last time out.
Dangers: 5. Boncassie was back to her best when scoring at Coffs Harbour just over two weeks ago. She’s good at her best and should take plenty of running down. 6. Lady Wardell is a last start Murwillumbah winner that has a good record and should play a prominent part in the finish.
How to play it: Majorelle WIN.
Race 7 – 4:09PM RODNEY LEES CABINETMAKING *BIG DANCE ELIGIBILITY * LISMORE CUP (1526 METRES)
4. Flashing Steel is a well performed galloper from a leading stable and comes into this having finished third at Eagle Farm when last produced. He’s an on-pace runner that can push forward from a wide draw and he is a multiple city winner.
Dangers: 5. Menazzi has had four runs in Queensland since resuming from a spell and has run well in each of them when finishing third in each of them. He’s also an on-pace runner that has a wide gate to deal with. 6. Sizzling Gal did the job well to win at Doomben three starts ago and has finished second and fourth in two runs since.
How to play it: Flashing Steel EACH WAY.
Race 8 – 4:49PM PAK VENDING COUNTRY BOOSTED BENCHMARK 58 SHOWCASE HANDICAP (1310 METRES)
3. Guru Class had been racing well in a number of runs before making it win two from 22 starts when scoring narrowly as a well backed favourite at Grafton at her latest start. She’s drawn wide here but the apprentice allowance will help.
Dangers: 4. Desert Mist is resuming from a spell on the back of two barrier trials. He ran fifth at Grafton before being spelled and should sprint well fresh here. 13. Vetoed was beaten just over two lengths behind Guru Class at Grafton at her latest outing. She can show up in the minor money.
How to play it: Guru Class WIN.
Best Bets: Race 4 (8) Quality Miss; Race 6 (4) Majorelle.
Best Value: Race 7 (4) Flashing Steel.
