Kembla Grange Racecourse is the destination for NSW racing on Thursday afternoon, with a quickfire seven-part program awaiting punters in the Illawarra region.

Best Bet at Kembla Grange: Attica
Debut winner Attica looks perfectly placed to go on with it in a Class 1 over 1500m. Joseph Pride keeps him at the trip, and from barrier five Adam Hyeronimus can land one-off, stalking what reads a genuine tempo. His maiden win rated like a horse who’ll progress quickly through the grades, and a firm deck won’t worry him. With race fitness on his side, a soft run in transit, and a late surge that he’s shown at provincial level, Attica profiles as the day’s most reliable anchor.
Best Bet
Race 2 – #1 Attica (5)
3yo Colt | T: Joseph Pride | J: Adam Hyeronimus (59kg)
Next Best at Kembla Grange: Jacob’s Ladder
Jacob’s Ladder finds a very winnable Midway Class 1 (1200m) following a narrow defeat at Wyong first-up. Zac Lloyd sticks, the draw is ideal to tag the speed and peel into the better lanes, and John Thompson’s lightly raced gelding owns ratings from last prep that stack up against this company. He’s versatile enough to absorb pressure and still quicken, and a good surface is right in his wheelhouse. If Jacob’s Ladder lands just off the leaders and presents at the 300m, his late strength can prove decisive.

Best Value at Kembla Grange: Le Mans
Le Mans resumes after a quiet build-up and gets a lovely map from barrier three to box seat or land leaders’ back. The Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) yard is patient when crossing borders with these imports, and this six-year-old’s peak figures last prep read better than a standard provincial 64. Ashley Morgan rides Kembla well, and on a Good 4 the Kodiac mare should travel sweetly before pushing into clear air. At the each-way price with horse racing bookmakers, she’s the value to spice up the exotics.
Best Value
Race 7 – #2 Le Mans (3)
6yo Mare | T: Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) | J: Ashley Morgan (61kg)
