Swan Hill: Race 7 @ 3.30pm
Solid tempo with several sitting handy - Wardy Boy expected to find the lead. BLUNAKKA (4) stripped fitter and relished the step up to a mile last start when he staged a form reversal to score in a Bm58 at Donald. Has a tremendous affiliation with Jarrod Lorensini who has four wins from seven rides on the gelding. Can get the job done again in similar company. WARDY BOY (12) was handy all the way but didn't quite finish the race off when 4th at the Ballarat Synthetic last time out over 2100m. Placed 2/2 at this circuit and better off back in trip this afternoon. PATRIOTIC (3) will be better for the run but is well in after the claim and could run a cheeky race first up from a 28-week spell. TAIKUN WARRIOR (8) is fitter for two runs back from a spell and is down in class. Placed 7/9 at the trip so worth an each-way interest. SELECTION: #4 Blunakka looks great value in early markets.

Lismore: Race 5 @ 3:35pm
Despite the wide draw expecting Just Cosmos to cross and set up a genuine tempo. GILLICK'S WAY (3) has trialled well and just missed as favourite here on resumption. He has more to give and can go one better drawn to advantage. LUCKY TIME (8) pulled up with an issue at the Gold Coast and then placed at Ipswich in stronger than this. Her best is good enough and she might be ready to find it. ABOVE THE LOT (14) wasn't beaten too far at Doomben and will be better for it. She needs a good ride from Looker but is a genuine chance. JUST COSMOS (7) also needs a good ride but gets the 2kg claim and will be around the mark forgiving the latest. SELECTION: #3 Gillick's Way won't have to improve much second-up to be winning.
