Horse racing tips: Kembla Grange and Dubbo best bets, inside mail

Matt Jones runs the rule over Thursday's horse racing meetings at Kembla Grange and Dubbo.

Magadan is ready to start racing. He has a good gate and a leading jockey on.

Duke of Buckingham is the third best horse in Race 4 No.3.

Hugh Bowman will fancy his chances when he hops on Stroke Of Luck, Ruinart and Acceber.

Hampton Cove is in fine form and has a good gate.

Rodney Northam will be confident with Mangoola and Gold Lunar and Kinship as his runners today.

Intuition came from off the speed to win here two weeks ago. Duke Of Buckingham was in the same race as Mazu and he's won at a mile. Burning Need has raced here all three times this prep and she's been very good each time.

Oxford Vision hasn't missed a place in five career starts but hasn’t won either. Mancconi is an on-speed type who will improve off the fresh run. Imran should be ready to go off two trials and has an in-form jockey on. Oceans one probably leads them into the straight and will make them run well to get over the top of Oxford Vision.

Omni Man won fresh over this trip last prep. Espirito has won both times he's run at his home track. Forms Of Fear has drawn out but has the speed to get across and take up a position. Bayezid should enjoy getting back onto a bigger track after a break.

Magadan jumped well at his latest barrier trial and finished it off in comfortable fashion. Awesome John looked the part in a barriertrial under Brenton Avdulla. One Destiny is super fit for this race and getting out to 1300m should help him here. Union Army has placed at both runs at the provincials to date but will still need to lift to win this.

Ticket To Anywhere has run two seconds fresh and loves heavy ground. Individualist has won his past two races but is up in grade here. Iron Hat's only win came on a heavy track. Morezmo comes off a last start win and she'll go well here if the track improves.

Capital Gamble is going to win the race. Big Seal has drawn out but has gate speed. Money Not My God has been racing very well and will be on the speed in this race as well. Sammiballerina ran well at Muswellbrook.

Hampton Cove is going well and is knocking on the door ahead of this race. Planet Ex has won four races and got trapped wide while the winner snuck up the inside last start to win. Gossip has drawn out but has been consistent in lesser grade so deserves a crack at this level.

Zachariah has drawn out but gets back anyway. Sea Princess comes up from a Victorian stable and those types usually do well in the NSW bush. Lucky Crumpet broke through at start 15 two weeks ago.
