Wycheproof tips and results

Our price $4.20 · SP $7.00 · Mitchell Aitken

On form Khan Capital is the most reliable of a moderate maiden field.

Our price $3.60 · SP $3.30 · Jack Martin

But he's still winless after six runs and usually settles at the back on a track where backmarkers struggle, with a slow tempo expected.

Our price $8.00 · SP $9.50 · Anthony Darmanin

His form is moderate, but he's the one runner likely to lead in a slow-run race at a track that favours front-runners. That gives him a path to the line that most of this field lacks.

Our price $4.60 · SP $2.35 · Chelsea Taylor

She settles back in the field, the tempo looks slow, and Wycheproof's short straight rarely lets backmarkers get there.

Our price $5.80 · SP $7.00 · Anthony Darmanin

Gelagotis stables prepare their runners well and the gear changes suggest improvement is expected. The inside barrier and light weight suit this track, where being handy counts.

Our price $13.00 · SP $31.00 · Sheridan Clarke

Saraya has never won in 42 starts, but she has raced well recently with a third last start and gets to lead in a field short of early speed on a track where front-runners are hard to peg back.

Our price $3.60 · SP $3.30 · Chelsea Thompson

She has been up on the pace in most recent runs, drops in class, and gets a big weight advantage over the topweights. A moderate tempo and the short straight suit an on-pace type. The ground may soften later, which also helps.

Our price $6.50 · SP $13.00 · Sheridan Clarke

A proven course and distance winner who has the gate speed to overcome the wide draw and cross to a forward spot. He drops back in grade and is better than his recent results suggest.

Our price $6.50 · SP $6.00 · Sarah Field

A lightly weighted mare who should be handy in a moderately run race, which suits Wycheproof. She has a long record of placings but rarely wins, and she has faded when leading or racing keenly. The jockey is out of form too. She is a place-chance rather than a strong win threat.

Our price $4.20 · SP $9.50 · Melissa Julius

On-pace type whose last two runs over similar trips were strong, including a Cup win at 1800m. The tight Wycheproof layout rewards horses sitting handy in a slow-run race.

Our price $3.80 · SP $4.20 · Jack Martin

His Geelong return ran to a strong standard and he has good 1800m form. He is only midfield on the map, and the short straight makes it harder to run down leaders.

Our price $9.00 · SP $16.00 · Sheridan Clarke

A consistent type who has hit the frame in recent starts and has led and sat handy before.

Our price $7.00 · SP $9.00 · Chelsea Thompson

A mare who runs into a lot of places and gets a big weight advantage here. Two recent jump-outs, a hot jockey with a claim, and gear changes suggest she's ready for her return.
