Progressive mare who was dominant winning last start over 2000m at Taree. While stepping up in class, she gets in with just 55kg and has shown steady improvement with each run this preparation. The Curtis stable is in good form and Ashley Morgan is a strong booking.
Second-up specialist who has a win from 4 second-up starts. Has shown ability at staying trips and is a previous winner at Wyong. Drawn well in barrier 4 and should get a nice run in transit. Alysha Collett is a positive jockey booking.
While he only has 3 wins from 31 starts, his place record is strong with 9 placings. Grant Buckley is an experienced jockey who knows how to get the best out of his mounts.
Gets in with just 52kg and has been racing consistently with a 3rd placing last start. While her win strike rate is modest, she's been competing in stronger company and should appreciate this class drop.

The Michael Freedman-trained gelding is showing clear improvement with each run and maps to get an ideal run from barrier 2 at this tight-turning track. With Regan Bayliss aboard, he looks ready to break through for his maiden win.
Avenue Montaigne brings strong credentials as a Waterhouse/Bott-trained filly with Tim Clark aboard. Her debut 2nd on soft ground suggests she'll handle today's conditions, and she's second-up from a spell with natural improvement expected. The step up to 1600m looks suitable based on her running style, though the wide barrier at Wyong is a slight concern.
Made In Italy brings consistency with two 3rd placings from as many starts. The Matthew Smith-trained filly draws the inside barrier which is advantageous at Wyong's tight-turning track. She's shown steady improvement and the step up to the mile looks suitable based on her running style.
The John O'Shea & Tom Charlton-trained colt gets the services of top jockey Dylan Gibbons and should appreciate the step up to 1600m.

The booking of Jason Collett is a strong positive, and she's likely to be positioned on-pace which is crucial at Wyong. The first-time gear suggests she may have shown some quirks in trials, but Waller is adept at having horses ready to perform on debut.
She's well-drawn in barrier 4 which is crucial at Wyong, and being second-up should see natural improvement. Her ability to handle soft tracks is a plus given today's conditions. The main concern is her tendency to settle back on a track that favors leaders, but the fast tempo should help her finishing burst.
Sword Of Legacy brings the strongest form credentials, dropping significantly from Group/Listed level to provincial maiden grade. While first-up from a spell, she has a solid fresh record and the Waller stable excels with horses resuming. The wide barrier is offset by her tactical speed and the gear changes suggest connections are addressing previous racing manners.
The booking of Alysha Collett is positive, and if she can muster early speed to overcome barrier 7, she should be in a favorable position at this leader-biased track.

The likely fast tempo suits his racing pattern, and he's well positioned from barrier 6 to get a perfect stalking position behind the leaders. The class drop is significant and makes him the clear top selection.
Koios comes into this second-up after a solid fresh run when finishing second at Newcastle over 1250m. His second-up record is excellent with a win and a third from two attempts. The inside draw is perfect for Wyong's tight turning track, allowing him to save ground throughout.
The wide barrier is a concern at Wyong's tight track, but his early speed should allow him to overcome this. His versatile racing pattern gives options depending on how the race unfolds.
The application of blinkers for the first time is a significant gear change that should sharpen him up.

The Waller-trained filly draws perfectly in barrier 6 for Wyong's tight, leader-biased track and should be able to settle forward. Gets in with just 57kg as a 3yo against older mares and has significant upside after just one start. The step up to 1200m looks ideal.
Impressive debut winner at Goulburn who showed good tactical speed. The Matthew Smith-trained filly draws perfectly in barrier 2 for Wyong's tight track and should be able to settle in a forward position. Gets in with just 55.5kg as a 3yo against older mares.
Consistent filly who won at Nowra two starts back before a strong 2nd in BM64 company last start. Has proven soft track form with a win from one attempt. The wide barrier is a significant concern at Wyong's tight track, but she's dropping in class from BM64 to Class 1 which is a major positive.
Mother Goose brings strong soft track credentials (2:1-0-1) and an excellent first-up record (2:0-0-2). The Gary Portelli-trained mare has drawn perfectly in barrier 1 which is crucial at Wyong's tight, leader-biased track. Rachel King is a significant jockey booking and the mare has won at this distance previously.

Formal presents as the standout selection with an ideal barrier draw for Wyong's leader-biased track. His heavy track credentials (2 from 2) are significant given the Soft 5 surface, and he's proven at this track with a win from two attempts. While first-up from a spell, his fresh record is respectable, and the 2kg weight drop from his last start is advantageous. The Nathan Doyle-trained gelding has consistent form and should take up a forward position from the gate.
Hellish brings the strongest form credentials to this race with an impressive 37% win rate and excellent wet track record (4 from 8 on soft). The Mitchell Beer & George Carpenter-trained gelding draws the inside barrier which is advantageous at Wyong, though he carries top weight of 61kg. First-up record is solid with 1 win from 4 attempts, and he should be right in the finish.
Altercation brings strong recent form with three consecutive second placings, demonstrating consistency at a slightly lower level. The Dylan Gibbons-ridden mare has a good barrier draw for Wyong's leader-biased track and holds a fitness edge over several rivals. The class rise is the main query, but her consistency warrants respect in this field.
Drawing barrier 2 is ideal for Wyong's leader-biased track, and his recent form has been consistent. While his win strike rate is modest at 11%, his place percentage of 31% suggests he regularly runs well.

The addition of blinkers first time should sharpen him up significantly, and the good barrier draw at this leader-biased track is a major plus. With the likely fast tempo, he can settle midfield and use the short straight to his advantage. Ron Quinton's runners typically improve with racing and gear changes.
Dear My Friend showed promise with a strong second on debut on a soft track. The inside barrier is perfect for Wyong's tight turning track, and he's likely to be on the speed which is a significant advantage here. Gerald Portelli is a strong trainer and the 21-day freshen-up should have him ready. The soft track conditions won't be an issue based on his debut performance.
Her record of 1 second and 2 thirds from 10 starts shows consistency, and she's proven on soft tracks with 2 placings from 4 starts. The quick 7-day backup suggests fitness, and the light weight is an advantage. The wider barrier is the main concern at this tight track.
She's proven at Wyong over this distance with a third placing, and the significant gear changes (compression hood with ear muffs again, ear muffs pre-race only off, winkers off) could spark major improvement. The inside draw gives her every chance.

Sarrismo brings the strongest form credentials with 2 wins from 4 starts and a 75% place rate. Last start 2nd in BM72 company reads well for this BM64, and his on-pace racing style suits Wyong's leader-favoring configuration. While unproven at the track and distance, his class edge compensates for the top weight. Expect him to be prominent throughout from barrier 9.
The drop back from BM64 to this company is favorable, and Rachel King is a significant jockey booking. Being lightly raced with only 4 career starts suggests further improvement is likely, though his inexperience at both track and distance is a concern.
The improving form pattern suggests he's ready to handle the class rise, and barrier 5 gives him tactical options at this leader-favoring track. Ashley Morgan retains the ride after their last-start success, though his soft track record (0-0-1 from 6) is a slight concern.
The inside barrier is a significant advantage at Wyong, and his consistent recent form includes a 2nd and 5th in his last two starts. While his win strike rate is modest, his place percentage of 57% at the distance suggests he'll be competitive, making him an appealing each-way proposition.
