Black-type racing returns to Randwick this Saturday for Civic Stakes Day, with a strong 10-race program packed with big fields and even contests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The track is currently rated a Soft 6 following Friday showers, but with fine weather forecast, conditions should improve into a more manageable soft range. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Listed Civic Stakes headlines the meeting, with depth across the card ensuring punters will be kept on their toes throughout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve done the form for all 10 races, so let\u2019s try to find a few Civic Stakes Day winners. <\/p>\n\n\n

CHAINS OF LOVE (4)<\/span><\/b>\u00a0returned in impressive style two starts ago with a comprehensive win at Scone.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Messara &\u00a0Gavranich-trained\u00a0filly was a class above as she strode clear to salute in the\u00a01100m\u00a0contest by 4.49 lengths.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She then held her own in the Listed Queensland Day Stakes\u00a0where she was forced to do extra work from the wide draw but fought well to finish 1.59 lengths sixth.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A wide barrier is again an obstacle, but she has the early speed to cross and find a\u00a0prominent position.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No. 8 Perfect Justice <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

PERFECT JUSTICE (8)<\/span><\/b>\u00a0produced an eyecatcher when resuming two starts ago\u00a0in a similar race over\u00a01400m\u00a0here.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The John Sargent-trained gelding settled a long way back and\u00a0didn\u2019t\u00a0have the clearest\u00a0path but\u00a0hit the line hard to finish just over a half-length fourth.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He backed that performance up last start when finding the line powerfully to finish\u00a01.15 lengths second.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That run suggested the rise to a mile third-up\u00a0suits,\u00a0and he did win over the distance when having his third run back last preparation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Siena Grima, who claims 2kg, just needs to get him into clear air.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

NITRO (4)<\/strong>\u00a0is a notoriously slow\u00a0beginner\u00a0and that was the case\u00a0when he resumed over\u00a01300m\u00a0at Scone.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Peter\u00a0Snowden-trained gelding settled a long last before rocketing home to finish a neck second.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He raced keenly in the\u00a0early stages\u00a0last start over\u00a01400m\u00a0here\u00a0and that proved costly late when he weakened a touch to finish 1.2 lengths fourth.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Winkers go on for the first\u00a0time\u00a0and he gets the services of Tommy Berry which should help him run out\u00a0a strong\u00a0mile.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

HELLO CAPTAIN (1)<\/span><\/b>\u00a0has won three of his four career starts and looks well placed to add another \u2018W\u2019.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Chris\u00a0Waller-trained gelding returned in impressive fashion two starts ago at Warwick Farm where he proved too strong despite racing wide.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He looked to have plenty on his rivals last start at Canterbury when letting down strongly to salute by just under two lengths.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Nash Rawiller will give him the run of the race from the inside barrier.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No. 5 Nasebah <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

NASEBAH (5)<\/span><\/b>\u00a0impressed in her Australian debut two\u00a0starts ago over\u00a01800m\u00a0at Kensington.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Chris Waller-trained mare let down powerfully to easily put her rivals away by 3.64 lengths and ran quick time in the process.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, she\u00a0didn\u2019t\u00a0get a great deal of luck last start over a mile here yet despite being held up for most of the straight she still finished just 1.29 lengths fourth.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That was just her fourth\u00a0start,\u00a0so she has plenty of\u00a0upside\u00a0and she will\u00a0strip fitter third-up.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tommy Berry replaces the apprentice and should land in a prominent position from the low draw.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Chris\u00a0Waller-trained gelding saved ground on the turn\u00a0last start\u00a0over\u00a02000m\u00a0here before charging through the heavy going to win in a photo.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Just three\u00a0starts ago\u00a0in March, he proved too strong on a good track to win by 1.66 lengths over\u00a01900m\u00a0at Rosehill.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gun apprentice Sienna Grima has built a great relationship\u00a0with\u00a0him and is again in the saddle.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The David Pfeiffer-trained gelding\u00a0sat outside the lead before dashing clear and easing down to salute by 2.3 length.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

His only defeat in four starts was\u00a0seventh\u00a0in the Magic Million Sunlight 3YO Plate at the Gold\u00a0Coast.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SUNSHINEINMYPOCKET (7)<\/span><\/b>\u00a0has returned this preparation in magnificent order.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Ciaron Maher-trained\u00a0gelding \u00a0settled\u00a0back from a wide draw at the Gold Coast before rocketing home with 60kg on his back to win by a neck with two lengths back to third.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019ll\u00a0strip fitter second-up and\u00a0will have been brought along by a recent trial.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

MIDNIGHT DYNAMITE (12)<\/span><\/b>\u00a0opened this preparation with\u00a0a hard-fought victory here before going north to\u00a0Doomben\u00a0where he bolted in\u00a0second-up.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bjorn Baker-trained gelding\u00a0produced a top effort\u00a0last start\u00a0over\u00a01300m\u00a0here but just\u00a0couldn\u2019t\u00a0run down Cool Jakey and finished 1.15 lengths seconds.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He meets that horse 1.5kg better\u00a0at the weights\u00a0and draws a lot better.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
