Gannon's Monday Mail
We head to the NSW Central tablelands on Monday afternoon, for a competitive seven race card.
Leading Sydney trainers Bjorn Baker, Joe Pride and Gary Portelli all have runners accepted for a hit and run mission out west.
The track is currently rated a Good 4, with fine weather forecast throughout the day.
The rail is out 3.5m from the 500m-300m until the cutaway applies.

Orange Race 2 Tip #4 Solva $2.85
This four-year-old gelding started the $1.85 favourite on debut, before running 5 of 8.
That was on a Heavy 8 and he did have excuses in the run, so it would pay to forgive the effort.
The son of Golden Rose winner Exosphere was then tipped out for a spell before receiving the ultimate gear change in a gelding operation.
He's had the one trial leading into this, where he was restrained over 900m before flying home into third.
The 1100m on Good track looks ideal for his first-up tilt, and I expect him to be far too good for these.
Orange Race 7 Tip #10 Arizona Night $2.90
This Deep Field filly impressed on debut when running 3third over 1000m at Canberra. She then returned to that track and distance second-up and produced a solid win on a Heavy 10 surface.
Trainer Gary Portelli then sent her to the spelling yard, before giving her the one trial in readiness for this. In that work-out, she went forward from the widest barrier over the 740m and sat outside the leader. She was never asked for an effort, but looked as though she had plenty to offer.
I'm excited to see this girl on a dry deck and I think barrier 14 is an advantage, as it will allow her time to cross from the 1000m start.
She has some upside, which can't be said for most of her rivals here. I'm happy to be with her at the short quote.
