Race-by-race preview and tips for Wednesday meeting at Warwick Farm

Selections based on a good to soft track.

Race 1

2. Scoop The Pool showed plenty of promise with his eye-catching debut in June and looks to have trialled up nicely for a return. Found himself a long way back at that first outing, but hopefully, he can be in more of a striking position this time. 3. Attica is a Godolphin colt on debut for Joe Pride, and he’s trialled nicely in two hit-outs for his new trainer. Very well-bred, being out of group 1 winner Savatiano and will get his chance from an ideal draw. 5. Decorum is a full brother to group 1 winner Switzerland ,also stepping out for the first time. He settled back in his latest trial and breezed to the line well down the outside. Keep in mind.

Race 2

3. Cantiamo got the job done on debut at Kensington three weeks ago, and she did look as if she’d take improvement given her coat in the parade. Suspect a firmer track will help her unleash a turn of foot, and while this is no gimme, she’s the one to beat. 4. Ohope enjoyed a good run from the inside barrier and darted through to score an easy win at Hawkesbury first-up. That was his first run below 1300m, so the extra 100m will be in his favour, and he looks a threat. 1. Regulated Affair had some raps on him in his first preparation, and he ran well in all four starts, including a maiden win here in May. Two trials haven’t given a lot away, and he’s a market watch.

Race 3

3. Island Dream has found a nice race back in grade after a sound third at Randwick on a heavy 10. That followed a nice Canterbury win where she attacked the line hard. Previous win was on a soft 5, so conditions are suitable and she looks very hard to beat. 7. Christa is very lightly raced and followed a nice first-up Taree win with a solid third in a Highway at Rosehill in mid-August when back 100m in trip. Mile should hold no fears and she’s in the mix. 8. Exclusive Artist was solid in the betting first-up on a heavy 10 two weeks ago and clearly didn’t love the conditions as she was safely held. Must give another chance back on firmer footing.

Race 4

2. Ring True is an imported mare and a very interesting runner first-up in this grade. She’s stakes placed at her past two runs in Europe and her two recent trials are handy enough. Was outsprinted in the latest over 905m but found the line well. 4. Tuileries ran a huge race first-up despite being an odds-on favourite, running slick sectionals in a slowly run race, but disappointed off a month’s gap at Rosehill last time. Back on firmer ground is a plus, and she could bounce back quickly. 6. Mergeila has been scratched a few time of late, and she hasn’t raced since last October when beaten narrowly as favourite by Pippie Beach. Tactics will be interesting from the wide gate as she’s generally raced on speed.
