There’s nothing like being first past the post to raise confidence levels and Hannah Williams has seen that in Nipotino as they chase back-to-back TAB Highway (1200m) wins at Randwick on Saturday.

Speedy gelding Body Bob is set to enjoy a significant drop in grade at Rosehill.

Danielle Seib - a TAB Highway specialist - is value as adverse circumstances suggest three favoured placegetters from a recent Newcastle episode, Tanglewood ($3.90 favourite on TAB), Ramones ($10) and Zanardee’s Lane ($14) are little hope of staging an action replay at Royal Randwick on Saturday.

Invertational ($3.70 on TAB) will take some imposing figures that are hard to ignore into the feature race at Wagga on Thursday.

Trainer Matt Dale is confident a big weight will be no barrier for Kiptanui ($6 on TAB) as his consistent campaigner goes in pursuit of consecutive wins for the first time in his career at Kembla Grange on Saturday.
