Race-by-race tips and previews for Wyong on Sunday

Selections based on a soft track

Race 1

12. Vondel debuted with a down the track effort at Hawkesbury last November and was then spelled. She had two trials before resuming at Hawkesbury last month and ran well when racing on the pace and finishing second. 2. Classic Two is a former Hong Kong galloper that has had two runs back from a spell and followed a first-up third at Hawkesbury with a last start fifth at this track. This looks within his reach. 4. Hellfighter has been racing well with two seconds from his last three starts and has claims again, while 10. Satono Jasmine ran third at this track when resuming before a last start fifth at Hawkesbury.
How to play it: Vondel WIN.

Race 2

1. Spiv is a consistent performer that finished fourth in his first two starts back from a spell before breaking through to win a maiden in good style at Newcastle when racing on the speed and proving too good. He should take plenty of beating again. 4. Flying Grey was a winner at this track when resuming from a spell and followed that up with a last start fourth at Hawkesbury. 7. Cha Cha Cha is capable at best and could sneak into the minor money. 6. Mamma Mia was a maiden winner at Goulburn when resuming and has been down the track in tougher grade in two subsequent starts.
How to play it: Spiv WIN.

Race 3

11. Weekend Market has had three runs back from a spell and followed a first-up second at this track with a fourth here before finishing second again at Hawkesbury. She’s knocking on the door for a win. 5. Onmalone is resuming on the back of two solid Rosehill trials and has been placed in four of eight starts. Expect a bold showing from the good gate. 12. Darn Saga is on debut and has been fitted for this with a number of trials. 2. Fimiston is on debut after two trials and a forward showing looks to be on the cards.
How to play it: Weekend Market WIN.

Race 4

8. Thyme To Go took on Saturday city grade last time out and ran well when fourth to Friendly Fire. That was her first run back from a spell and she should be better for the run. This looks made to order. 1. Declan was placed in each of his first two starts earlier in the year and resumes here after two trials. He has a wide gate to overcome. 6. Tsardeal resumed with a second at Goulburn and looks to have the talent to run well here. 12. Pistoleer is on debut after two good trials and has the ability to run well.
How to play it: Thyme To Go WIN.

Race 5

1. Indecisive was a Hawkesbury winner back in February and then had a break before returning with a Kembla Grange third behind a subsequent city winner. 4. Zouking has a win and two placings from three starts and has had two trials in preparation for this return to racing. 5. At Her Mercy was a Kembla Grange winner earlier in the year and resumes here after two recent trial wins. 3. Yes Siree resumes after a second in a Gosford trial and ran second at this track before the spell.
How to play it: Indecisive WIN.

Race 6

6. Diacon was a winner at her second race start at Gosford late last year and then ran second at the same track before being spelled. She had two trials before resuming with a third behind Miss Farnan at Hawkesbury. 5. Miss Farnan has two wins and a second from three seconds from three starts and has the advantage of the inside gate. 10. Fine Wine hasn’t been too far away in two of her last three starts, while 12. Matchsticks resumed with a second at Canberra.
How to play it: Diacon WIN.

Race 7

4. Willingham was a winner at Canterbury two starts ago then wasn’t beaten far at the same track before being spelled. He has since been sold and moved to the Danielle Seib stable and has had a trial in preparation for this return. 10. Reign Of Honor did the job well when resuming with an all the way Hawkesbury win and warrants respect again. 7. Harry’s Halo is resuming and was a Beaumont track winner at Newcastle before the break. 8. Iron Fury is also first-up from a spell and was racing well with two seconds prior to the spell.
How to play it: Willingham EACH WAY.

Race 8

5. Owen County is talented at best and has been racing well at his latest two starts when finishing fourth at Newcastle and a last start third at Hawkesbury. He should show up again in this if he maintains that form. 3. Banyan Tree ran second in a Newcastle event last time out and warrants thought again on the strength of that effort. 2. Alice Mae ran fifth in the same race Owen County contested at Hawkesbury and has place claims. 7. My Greek God has been down the track in both runs since resuming but is capable at best.
How to play it: Owen County EACH WAY.
