Mick Gannon has all the mail you need for a massive day of racing at Kembla Grange.

Get the inside scoop on his top selections now and make sure you're fully prepared with this comprehensive form guide for the upcoming features.

Race 8 - The Gong (1600m)

A competitive field of 16 lines up for this year’s edition of The Gong, contested over the mile in what promises to be a thrilling race.

There appears to be little to no early speed on paper, which gives a significant advantage to the favourite, Gringotts.

After overcoming a wide draw in the Big Dance and producing an exceptional performance, he looks well-equipped to handle another tricky barrier here.

If he can replicate his last run against a quality field, Gringotts ($5.00) will be very hard to run down.

Meanwhile, Territory Express has been knocking on the door and is due for a change in fortune.

However, his low draw in a race with limited pace could see him boxed in when the pressure mounts on the turn for home.

He’ll need plenty of luck to figure in the finish.

Race 9 - The Warra 1000m

A field of 11 sprinters assembles for The Warra, shaping as a tactical affair with only two genuine leaders, South Of India and Kote, set to dictate the early tempo.

Both come into this race as roughies, but with the lack of speed in the field, either could surprise and be in the finish.

The horse to beat however is Dragonstone ($4.80), who is racing in career-best form and showing newfound versatility as he matures.

From barrier 4, he’s perfectly positioned to track the leaders and strike as they turn for home.

His last-start performance was impressive, and a repeat effort should see him right in the mix again.

At a current quote of $5.50, he represents excellent value given his map advantage and form.
