Tips and race-by-race guide for Wyong on Sunday

Selections based on a good track.

Race 1

1. Indigo Star is fourth-up from a spell and finding good rhythm. He has been placed in the latest two, with a second at this track being followed by a third at Warwick Farm when hitting the line well enough. He steps up in distance and looks perfectly placed to break through. 4. My Country Boy ran well when a resuming third at Newcastle and followed that up with a fourth at Kembla Grange when beaten less than half a length. He has drawn the inside here and should take plenty of beating. 9. All Too Clever was first-up from a spell when she finished fourth at Newcastle and should be improved by that run. 2. Orange Tsunami has been placed in his past two starts and warrants thought.
How to play it: Indigo Star to win.

Race 2

1. Sono Immortale raced on the speed in his debut at Hawkesbury and he battled on strongly to finish a close second. He should have benefitted from the experience and can go one better in this. 5. Savoonga was resuming from a spell when a solid second at Newcastle and this looks well within her capabilities. 4. Commanche Chief has been placed in both trials leading into this event and bears close watching on debut. 7. Classic Two was midfield at this track when last produced and has place claims.
How to play it: Sono Immortale to win.

Race 3

2. Wendell debuted with a down-the-track effort at the Gold Coast in January and was tipped out for a break. He’s had three trials in preparation for this return to racing and won the latest at Randwick by a big margin. 8. Coco Affair has been placed in both Warwick Farm starts either side of a spell and looms as the logical danger. 10. Grand Saddles was midfield at Warwick Farm on debut and can figure here without surprising. 6. Sir Echo ran sixth at his first start at Warwick Farm and is not out of this.
How to play it: Wendell to win.

Race 4

1. Steel Will debuted with a third behind the exciting The Next Episode on debut at Warwick Farm and then ran seventh in the Kindergarten Stakes before being spelled. He resumes after two trial wins and is set to break through. 4. Cosmic Jive is on debut after a Gosford trial win and can run well, while 9. Roebuck Plane is also on debut and won the latest of her trials. 12. Union was a resuming third at Kembla Grange and has claims.
How to play it: Steel Will to win.

Race 5

4. Seven Days has had two starts back from a spell and has finished second in both at Hawkesbury. He only needs to maintain that form to be hard to hold out. 9. Big Lon ran second at his first two starts before winning well at Tamworth last time out. 2. Expido is resuming after a fourth in a Gosford barrier trial and has the talent to show up. 8. Cosmic Order has finished fourth in both runs since scoring at Hawkesbury three starts ago.
How to play it: Seven Days to win.

Race 6

2. Generous Harry won a couple on end last preparation at this track and Gosford before running sixth in two city starts and then being spelled. He resumes here after two trials and won the latest of them at Randwick. 1. Shaggy is a speedy customer coming off a last-start fourth at Doomben and this looks a suitable race for him. 4. Spare was a Hawkesbury winner two starts ago and can lift here after a last-start failure at the same track. 7. Cool Waters won her first two starts and resumes from a spell with a second at Newcastle last month.
How to play it: Generous Harry to win.

Race 7

1. Tartaglia relished a wet track to score with ease at Gosford two runs ago and backed that up with a solid fourth at Grafton when not beaten far behind Tough Guy. He’s drawn to get a good run from the inside gate here and can be prominent again. 4. Sociable has been racing well, with a couple of Warwick Farm placings being followed by a last-start fourth at Randwick. He has bright claims again. 2. Cuban Cigar is resuming after two trials and won at Kembla Grange before the break. 10. Turning Circle is a last-start Newcastle winner worth including.
How to play it: Tartaglia each way

Race 8

6. Yachiyo was first-up from a spell whenfourth at Hawkesbury two starts ago and followed that up with a fifth at Kembla Grange. She sticks to the same trip in this event and looks primed to peak with those runs under her belt. 3. Whack Attack ran well when a last-start third at this track and looks set to give cheek from an on-pace position. 2. Southerly Buster won well at Tamworth when last produced and can take running down again. 11. Proxima Centauri arrived in time to score at Goulburn at her latest start and can be thereabouts again.
How to play it: Yachiyo each way.
