The Listed Australia Day Cup headlines another exciting seven-race program at Warwick Farm on Tuesday.
The rail will remain in the true position around the entire course and at publish, the track is rated in the Good (4) range.
There isn’t a lot of form to divulge ahead of the first on Australia Day Cup Day and at publish, the debutant Jenga is rated a $3 market favourite.
I’m happy to stay out of this one and wait until Race 2 to open my account.

More Prophets has returned to the races in typically smart form this time and looks the runner to beat in Race 2.
The Smart Missile mare simply doesn’t know how to run a bad race, and is yet to miss placing in seven starts since making her debut in April last year.
She was an impressive winner here at Warwick Farm when resuming this time, filling the minors in a Saturday race at Randwick second-up before running second behind Betcha Flying last time out.
This is a drop in class and she can return to winning form.

Celer will take plenty of improvement into his second campaign start at Warwick Farm on Wednesday and is up to winning.
The Excelebration gelding has been a good horse for the Kim Waugh stable throughout his career, and resumed here a couple of weeks ago to finish second behind the talented Vreneli.
Tommy Berry will have options aboard the horse from the rails draw and he can fight out the finish.

This shapes as one of the day’s more open contests, but Too Much Class has been progressing through the grades nicely and looms as a winning chance again, at a nice price ($8.50 at publish).
Too Much Class stripped with a nice effort for second in maiden company at Orange when resuming, and recorded a nice win at Canberra to get the monkey off her back second-up.
She followed up that performance with an easy win in BM58 company at Orange last time out, and this looks a nice opportunity for her to win in town.

Our Bellagio Miss has returned several competitive performances this preparation and this looks another winnable contest for her.
The Casino Prince mare beat home a talented field over 1000m at Randwick two starts back and was last seen running third in BM78 company on the Kensington track.
She is probably better on a rain-affected track, but I think that her class will take her a long way towards winning again on Tuesday.

Wolfe has improved for two starts back this time and the Australia Day Cup looks the perfect target for him.
The Japanese import has raced well in far tougher company than this throughout his career, and is ready to peak third-up and out to a mile and a half, having finished fourth in the Listed ATC Cup and second in the Listed January Cup since resuming.
With Tim Clark in the saddle and from an inside draw, he should be able to find a nice position in transit and greet the judge first.

Jack The Lad stamped himself as a horse to follow during his debut preparation and looks a winning chance first-up in the last on Australia Day Cup Day.
Jack The Lad filled the minors behind the likes of Miravelle on debut in September before breaking his maiden at this track and distance most notably.
He has returned two nice trials in the lead-up to his return and looks ideally suited to the conditions of this race.
