Tips and previews for racing at Warwick Farm on Wednesday
1. Blessed Eagle looked sharp in winning his latest trial at Randwick, in a 1045m heat, and should be able to offset the barrier quickly and land on the speed. Should give a good account. 7. Profitabelle hit the line well on debut in January then didn’t back it up in the Inglis Millennium. Plenty to like about her recent trial win and she looks the logical danger. 6. Artemex has been gelded going into this preparation. His two runs back in the autumn were okay and it’ll be interesting to see if the gear change sparks him up. How to play it: Blessed Eagle to win.
There’s quite a few raps on 14. Satin Serenade and we get to see if she lives up to them this spring. Just missed on debut in June, freshened up and her latest trial win was impressive. She’s been well found in the market and is the one to beat. 8. Stateroom didn’t do a lot wrong at his only start a few weeks ago at Canterbury. Had a nice run and held his ground into third, looking like he’d improve out of the run. 1. Defensemen has put a couple of good runs together this time in and is five weeks between runs since a close second to Proxima Dea at Randwick on a heavy track. How to play it: Satin Serenade to win.
1. Columbus gets another chance after being a shade disappointing as an odds-on favourite at Rosehill. Perhaps he landed too close and wasn’t able to sprint with them. Looked impressive chasing them down before that, blinkers on and the mile should suit. 4. Deep Pleasure is bursting to win and just keeps bumping into one better. Hit the front three weeks ago at Kensington and was run down by Concordia Wind. She’ll be in this a long way. 6. Namaste tried hard behind Glissando in a much improved third-up run and while he’s finding it hard to win, he gets down in the weights. How to play it: Columbus to win.
4. Scenic Point is an interesting runner having her first start for Joe Pride. She’s a stakes winner and has been sparingly raced in the last 12 months. Based on her recent trial win she looks like she wants to be there. Worth keeping safe. 12. Striking Alibi was scratched from the Rosebud and lands here against older horses. Won on debut at Ascot before weakening after leading the Karrakatta Plate. Her latest trial was eye-catching. 13. Uncertain Glory debuted with a handy win at this track in May then raced closer to the speed when placed at Randwick a couple of weeks late. Drawn out but expect she’ll be strong late. How to play it: Scenic Point to win.
3. Mr Miller showed a heap of potential in his first preparation with a debut win at this track before seconds against some handy types. Couldn’t have missed him in his latest trial and from the good gate he’s going to be hard to beat fresh at a suitable trip. 6. Phantom Major was a beneficiary of some pressure up front when he swooped down the outside to win at Canterbury two weeks ago. Extra trip looks to suit. Has to back up that impressive win. 9. It’s A Wonder will like the sting out of the track and her first-up run in a similar race a month ago was at least a pass mark on a good track. Each-way hope. How to play it: Mr Miller to win.
