Goulburn Race 5 - Homebase Real Estate Hcp (C1)
MINDGAMES (1) resumes as the horse to beat after winning his only start at Wyong, where he was a well-supported favourite and drove hard late to win by just over a length. Two trials since, including a latest second at Randwick, give him a suitable platform and he's a very progressive talent. Can pick up from where he left off. GLENN'S LEGACY (4) finished a close third at this track two runs back and a forgivable fifth last start after being bumped at the jump. Scratches from a later race to run here which is a good push for his chances. MASTER ZOUS (2) looks an improver after getting back and never featuring at long odds in a tougher race last time. Coming back in grade now is a big tick for his chances, as is the rise in distance. An improved effort is on the cards. OLE MISS (3) jumped favourite on resumption and did enough there. Can improve quickly with that run under her belt. NEFRADITE (8) is next best.

Returns from a four-month break after making a winning debut in a 2yo Maiden at Wyong, where he was a well-supported favourite and drove hard late to beat Dashing Triple by just over a length. He has had two trials since, the latest a second at Randwick, and is one from one on wet ground. Recent trials suggest he hasn't gone backwards and he's a very progressive talent on resumption.

Eases back from a provincial assignment after finishing last at Illawarra Grange, beaten nine and a half lengths, with the stewards noting he was tightened for room on jumping. He was also plain when fifth at Hawkesbury two back, but Alysha Collett returns and is one from one on him. Comes right back in grade now and a better effort is expected under this scenario.

Second-up after a first-up fifth in a Benchmark 58 at Bathurst, where she was sent out favourite, began slowly and did not quicken when close enough. Her 1400m record is a key positive, with one win from her only listed start at the distance, and the stable is strong at this venue. Is a query on the ground, but there was enough in her fresh effort to suggest she's in the mix with that run under her belt.

Has been racing consistently at this venue, finishing third two runs back when beaten a neck by Wolf Island before a fifth last start behind The Local after being bumped at the start. He is race fit, has placed at this track and distance, and his wet-track record reads well enough for a heavy 10. Scratches from a later race to line up here and his recent form stacks right up.

Made some late ground when seventh at this track last start, beaten just under five lengths after being slow to begin, but she was big odds and still finished behind Glenn's Legacy. The run prior was another seventh at this venue when unwanted in the market and making no late impression. Won't be far away.

Finished sixth first-up at Griffith, beaten three and a half lengths after settling back and making solid inroads without a clear excuse. He was also sixth at Canberra before the break, unwanted in betting and never a factor after beginning slowly. Others appeal more strongly.
