Race-by-race tips and previews for Warwick Farm on Wednesday

Selections based on a soft to heavy track.

Race 1

1. Blue Vein has to go on top though there’s a chance he comes out if it’s heavy. Returned from eight months off the scene with an eye-catching third at Randwick on Boxing Day and has a completely different set up from barrier one with a run under his belt. 4. Sunshine Law has a couple of soft 7 placings from last time in so she should handle whatever conditions present. Started $1.40 when resuming at Newcastle and ran on without threatening into second place. Will be better for it and is hard to beat. 2. Vetwelve was a significant drifter in betting first-up at Canterbury but did run on nicely enough into second.
How to play it: Blue Vein WIN.

Race 2

1.Believe In Angels should have finished a lot closer on debut when runner-up at Wyong and did a good job to squeeze through and fill that placing after being sandwiched close to the line. Likely to have some upside off just one trial and if that’s the case he’s a good chance. 9. Modella is an interesting debutante, and she found the line quite well in her latest trial at Rosehill, her first for four months. 3. Railway Man was an expensive yearling and has placed once in four starts. Boxed on OK when resuming in a good form race at Canterbury a few weeks ago. This is a good opportunity to show something.
How to play it: Believe In Angels WIN.

Race 3

3. It’s A Wonder is well-placed third-up after a top win at Hawkesbury then a fifth in a Midway at Randwick where she didn’t get the best of luck. Handles all conditions and a mile suits. Just has to overcome a potentially slowly run race, and she’ll be hard to hold out. 1. Alice Mae finished just ahead of It’s A Wonder in that Midway, and she meets her 3kg better so she can’t be underestimated. Won three straight before that and is hard to ignore. 2. Heaven Bound has mixed her form and comes back to the mile after three runs at 1900m at Canterbury. Did fail on a heavy track there when well in the market in November.
How to play it: It’s A Wonder WIN.

Race 4

5. Bartolf was far too good when coming off a two-month break at Newcastle, and he can only be better for it. Debut win was on a heavy track so whatever ground shouldn’t bother him, and he gets his chance in city company. 4. Codetta won nicely in a handy form race at Canterbury on soft 6 before an even effort at Randwick where she ran into fourth but safely held by those in front. Looks the main threat here. 2. The Years hasn’t raced since April when tackling group 3 company. At this sort of level he’s proven capable and should land on the speed from the inside. Keep safe.
How to play it: Bartolf WIN.
