Illawarra Grange: Race 2
No. 1 Coco Dior

COCO DIOR (1) resumes in a winnable race on the Illawarra Grange course this afternoon.

We haven’t seen Coco Dior at the races since April, and while she’s yet to record a race win, she’s missed placing just once in six starts so far.

Having trialled up well, she can begin her journey through the grades today.

Illawarra Grange: Race 3
No. 11 Aladdin’s Girl

ALADDIN’S GIRL (10) gets plenty of ticks in her return to action this afternoon.

Aladdin’s Girl has turned in some decent performances without recording an elusive victory to date, but she was only just denied a couple of times last time in, and she raced well around some decent opposition.

With the benefit of a recent trial under her belt, James McDonald jumps into the saddle this afternoon.

Illawarra Grange: Race 5
No. 6 Spill It

SPILL IT (3) takes winning form into another nice race at Illawarra Grange today.

Spill It has only made two appearances at the races since debuting, but after only just missed over in New Zealand at his first start, he broke his maiden at Riccarton last month before crossing the ditch.

He’s had a trial since arriving in Australia and can hit the ground running under James McDonald.

Illawarra Grange: Race 6
No. 11 Beverly Hills

BEVERLY HILLS (1) is fit and ready to win at Illawarra Grange today.

The I Am Invincible mare finished down the order at Canterbury when resuming but has improved noticeably in races at Gosford and Newcastle since.

She’s another one that is boosted by the booking of James McDonald, who can take her forward today from a low draw.
