Find a winner here!BEST BETS – GOSFORDTOP CHANCERace 7 No.8: FLEXIBLETalented filly who zoomed home from the back of the field on the turn to score brilliantly on the Kensington track last start. She has scored successive city midweek wins and just needs to avoid bad luck in running to win again.NEXT BESTRace 3 No.6: SALATEENSalateen resumed with a dominant win over the Gosford 1200m, finishing powerfully and winning by a widening margin of more than three lengths. She is up in grade here but is a filly with potential. Hard to beat.VALUERace 2 No.2: LOST IMPACTLost Impact, a son of Japanese legend Deep Impact, made a promising start to her race career when beaten less than a length into second placing at Hawkesbury. She steps up to 1600m which suits and at $8 she is over the odds.QUADDIERace 4: 1,2,4 Race 5: 2,5,7,8 Race 6: 1,5,8,10 Race 7: 4,8TRAINER TO FOLLOWGodolphin trainer James Cummings has a strong entry for the ATC meeting at the Gosford track including Raoul (race 5), Attribution (race 6) and Flexible (race 7).JOCKEY TO FOLLOWNash Rawiller has a competitive book of rides including Ocean Emperor (race 3) and Invasion Day (race 7).INSIDE MAIL – GOSFORDRACE 1Prasiolite, a well-bred filly by Written Tycoon out of Jade Marauder, showed plenty of natural ability when she matched motors with boom filly Four Moves Ahead in a recent Randwick barrier trial. Champion jockey James McDonald rode Prasiolite in that trial and is staying on for her debut. Russian Standard is going to be very hard to beat. He has looked good winning both trials this month and he has the gate speed to negate his wide draw. Gulf Of Aden showed speed and held on well in very strong trial when fourth, beaten a length by Golden Slipper hopefuls Shaquero and Remarque. Drawn well and should be hard to beat. Amen Corner has shaped well in her trials and can be competitive from her good draw. Bet: Prasiolite each way, Box trifecta 2,4,8,12RACE 2Lost Impact, with Blake Spriggs in the saddle, can hold off the Waller quartet of Tycoon Hallie, Ossabuco, Zudin and Apollate. Lost Impact shaped promisingly on debut when second to Vintage Harvest, beaten less than a length. She will be improved by the race experience and the 1600m should suit. Tycoon Hallie was sixth of seven on debut at Warwick Farm but her effort was very good. She is jumping sharply from 1200m to 1600m here which is the query. Ossabuco, Apollate and Zudin finished second, fourth and fifth respectively at Canterbury last start but less than a half length separated them. Bet: Box trifecta 2,3,4,5,8RACE 3Salateen made a statement first-up albeit against moderate opposition when she bolted in over the Gosford 1200m course. Her acceleration from the turn was very impressive as she put a margin on her rivals. Small field here but there is speed so this race sets up nicely for Salateen who will be ridden conservatively early. Geist produced fast finishing efforts to score successive provincials wins then she was competitive at a Kensington midweek meeting when third last start after striking trouble and being forced back to the worst part of the track in the straight. Ocean Emperor may have to do a bit of work early but he’s a promising type with a perfect first-up record. Savoury will be finishing fast. Bet: Salateen to winRACE 4La Grisa returned to winning form with a dominant effort at Warwick Farm two weeks ago, defeating emerging stayer Alakahan by nearly three lengths. La Grisa does go up 3kg and has to stretch her stamina to 2600m but she won with such authority last start it’s hard to tip anything to beat her here. In saying that, Space Is Deep did start favourite against La Grisa at Warwick Farm where she finished fourth after striking some trouble on the turn. Space Is Deep needs to make up five lengths on La Grisa but she does meet her rival 3kg better at the weights here. Castel Sant’Angelo is a grinder and he will take running down around Gosford. Prince Camelot is a tough stayer with no weight. Bet: La Grisa to win, saver on Space Is Deep if she stays around $5RACE 5Bonython, raced by John Singleton, is superbly bred by champion sire Snitzel out of the Zabeel mare Deedra, herself the dam of Group 1 winner Fenway. Interestingly, Fenway is the dam of Zudin, one of the leading chances in race 2. Bonython is trained on the track by Kylie Gavenlock and he looked the part winning a Gosford trial on a heavy track last week. Another first starter, juvenile Mea Culpa, should also race well on debut. Mea Culpa showed speed and comfortably held his rivals to win quite easily in a Hawkesbury barrier trial a week ago. He’s drawn the rails and probably holds out Bonython for the early lead. Legal Challenge wasn’t beaten far when resuming with a third placing at Hawkesbury and he could be the value runner. Kalashnikov has shown talent in his barrier trials but is yet to produce on race day. Bet: Bonython each way, Box trifecta 2,5,7,8RACE 6Attribution was placed in four provincial starts at her debut preparation last spring. The Godolphin filly resumes off a good Kembla barrier trial win where she ran fast sectionals. Speedy filly, nicely drawn and James McDonald is a significant booking. Our Lancette, a full sister to classy sprinter Lanciato, makes her debut after two Randwick barrier trial wins. Unlike her older sibling, the three-year-old filly has good, early tactical speed and should be able to get across from her wide barrier. Drummin held on well when second at Hawkesbury when resuming and she should take improvement into this race. Virtuous Miss looked home over 1200m last start but was run down near the line for her fourth second placing in five starts. Dropping back to 1100m is in her favour. Bet: Attribution to win, Box trifecta 1,5,8,10RACE 7Flexible is a promising filly chasing a hat-trick of city midweek wins after impressive efforts at Warwick Farm and Kensington. She tends to get back in her races but has a powerful finishing burst. Knowitall Jack has improved with each run his preparation and there were promising signs last start at Canterbury when a close third to Major Artie. He’s nearing a win. Invasion Day is racing well and Chocolatier hasn’t been far away in recent starts. Bet: Flexible to win
