Eight races will be contested at Wyong on the New South Wales Central Coast this Wednesday, March 18th.
The rail will be set out three metres around the entire course for the meeting, while at publish, we’re faced with a track rated in the Soft (5) range.
I’ve run the rule over each field, and you can find my Wyong tips below.
RACHINI is second up out of a Reisling Stakes at Wyong on Wednesday.
Having finished midfield on debut at Listed level back in October, Rachini returned to action with a credible effort behind the likes of Chayan and Agrarian Girl in the Reisling earlier this month.
With natural improvement into what is clearly the weakest task she’s been set, she might not be offered a better chance to win.

HELLABELLA resumes in a winnable race at Wyong.
We haven’t seen Hellabella at the races since September, but she has placed in three of four runs since debuting, only just missed both first and second up last time in.
She’s trialled up well and with even luck in the run, I can’t find a reason why she won’t be in the finish this week.
| 5. Hellabella (1) J: Tim Clark 55kg x220xT: Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott |
ALAMAAZ steps out on Wednesday a fit horse and primed to strike at Wyong.
Alamaaz has improved noticeably with each of three runs since debuting, filling the minors here two runs back before only just missing behind Fireball Miss at Rosehill last time out.
Out to the mile and under James McDonald, she gets plenty of ticks this time.

WONDEREACH drops in class into a nice race at Wyong.
The Matt Smith-trained gelding is yet to win a race this time in, but he has turned in some competitive performances around some nice types, and he was last seen finishing off well behind Kerguelen in a Saturday metro race at Rosehill.
Back to the midweeks, he can overcome topweight under the urgings of Nash Rawiller.

CORMAC T looks well placed third up from a spell at Wyong.
The Nathaniel gelding dusted off the cobwebs in BM78 company at Rosehill back in January, while he was last seen finishing on the placegetters’ heels in a similar race at the same track.
Having gone back to the trials since that race, he’ll relish getting further out in trip this week and back into a midweek contest, and I can’t find a reason why he won’t be in the finish of a race like this one.
| 5. Cormac T (4) J: Tom Sherry 59kg 22×84T: Annabel & Rob Archibald |
CAESAR is in winning form and open to further improvement into Race 6 at Wyong on Wednesday.
The Capitalist gelding hasn’t finished worse than second in four trips to the races, winning twice and highlighted by his first up performance in BM64 company at Canterbury last month.
He’s another one that has been kept up to the mark with a recent trial and in my opinion, he’s perfectly placed today.
| 4. Caesar (4) J: James McDonald 58.5kg x22x1T: Peter Snowden |
There’s a case to be made for many of the horses engaged in Race 7 at Wyong on Wednesday and ALIGNED is one that I thought represented value in the market ($11 at publish).
Aligned worked home well to fill the minors in Class 1 company at Newcastle fresh from a break, and he has since recorded consecutive wins at Gosford at Kembla Grange, albeit in weaker races than this one.
He’s in peak order this week and does look up to something like this, and we can have something on each way at the price.

MAYBE MOET is the one for me in the last at Wyong.
Maybe Moet doesn’t know how to run a bad race, and after winning in BM64 company at Canterbury second up this time, she was only just denied again in a BM72 contest last time out.
She’s another one that steps out today in peak order and is drawn ideally under Tommy Berry.
