Five meetings across the country and here are the specials from Racing and Sports.

ARMIDALE: RACE 4 

Tricky contest with plenty of chances. LESGO DON (3) two runs back have had merit and will appreciate the extra trip and the drop in grade. Snagged back from the wide barrier with a fast finishing fourth over 1200m at Moree. Will race closer with the claim and prove hard to catch from the low draw. 

AVOCA: RACE 6 

ZEMGRINDA (1) was quickly back on track, just missing in a 66 this trip at Caulfield Heath and then was caught wide from the outside barrier at Wangaratta and forgive. Apprentice Emily Pozman has won three times on the gelding and is reunited. Has been kept on the fresh side and should enjoy a softer run. Well placed to win.

SALE: RACE 2 

POMAH (12) might be the only danger. She ran an encouraging race first up here on wet ground, going forward and just being overhauled late by a nose. She has the benefit of a run under the belt and will take some beating.

SUNSHINE COAST: RACE 2 

LEGAL CAUSE (4) ran well above market expectations last time out when going down by the narrowest of margins in town. Hoop Taylor sticks in the stirrups and should find this assignment a touch easier. Will prove very hard to toss. 

PORT LINCOLN: RACE 2

DRAGON FISH (7) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second here after she left herself with a fair bit to do when straightening. No tougher this time and is drawn much kinder. Bold showing anticipated.
