WYONG PREVIEW AND TIPS | EXPERT TIPS | THURSDAY MAY 8TH 2025
RAIL: +2m Entire TRACK: Soft 6
In similar conditions in recent times, this track has had a slight favouring to runners who settle midfield or better. Expecting to see a similar pattern here today and runners will likely come into the middle lanes in the straight away from the rails.
Best Bets
Mitch Lewis
LAY: 1. Limburg (WIN) for 1 unit (Rated at $3.50)
Based on everything LIMBURG has done to date at maiden level, he should go close to a win here, but with this race set up he feels quite short in the market and one to maybe look around. He resumes off a long spell now and with a big weight on his back as well. He could certainly win here, but the big weight off a big spell may leave him vulnerable late.

BACK: 2. Formal (WIN) for 2 units (Rated at $2.50)
FORMAL comes into this race off the back of 2 placings and appears to get the right set up for this which could bring him on. He is drawn softly with the low barrier which should see him land in a handy position in run up on speed which could suit. With this race map, FORMAL appears as if he should get a soft enough lead and if he gets it soft he should take catching.
back
2. Satin Sparkle
3. Twinkling Star
6. Our Jewel
7. Celtic Sin
Betting Strategy
TWINKLING STAR has looked close to a win with 2 placings in his last 2 starts, but looks short enough in this maiden to be backing. Can make a case to be with SATIN SPARKLE at the better price if betting into the race. This may be easier than her last start and up in trip suits. OUR HEWEL comes off a last start placing when resuming and can be an improver while CELTIC SUN resumes, maps well here and recent trial form was solid enough to think she can be around the mark,

7. Ninette
1. Apollo Ridge
6. Indefensible
8. Oakfield Universe
Betting Strategy
Key scratchings have come out of the race now and brought the price of NINETTE down to rock bottom levels. Hard to be confident in this race now with 7 scratchings coming out of the race. NINETTE looks the one to beat with and improvement out of his 1st up run. OAKFIELD UNIVERSE & INDEFENSIBLE may threaten if NINETTE has bad luck.

BACK: 2. Formal (WIN) for 2 units (Rated at $2.50)

He is drawn softly with the low barrier which should see him land in a handy position in run up on speed which could suit.

6. O Cara Mia
1. West Head
8. Literature Tycoon
11. Slam Dunk
Betting Strategy
O CARA MIA has gone close in her last 2 runs when coming in for 2nd in both. She rates well off those runs and any improvement would have her go very close here with the nice race map. WEST HEAD is another runner who maps well from an inside barrier and resumed with a handy placing, could be an improver. LITERATURE TYCOON needs to recapture some of his better form, but some gear changes may help as well as the fact the race map here looks slick, if they go quick that may set him up. SLAM DUNK is another runner at value who maps to go forwards and be in the thick of things.
8. Existential Bob
6. Perfect Justice
12. Wannawinwin
5. Alpine Kandy
Betting Strategy
EXISTENTIAL BOB has been consistent this prep and now with a couple of key scratchings, he looks the runner with the best recent form that should see him get every chance here. Maps to sit just off speed and gets enough favours. PERFECT JUSTICE looks one of the key dangers, he is proven at this trip which could be key. WANNAWINWIN comes back up in trip for this which should suit her. ALPINE KANDY maps to get run of the race, he won 2 in arow recently and with a soft run here he could be the one to catch.
5. Super Nui
3. Nymphadora
6. Tango Queen
1. Corrupted
Betting Strategy
The race favourite PELOSA was a scratching out of this race and now based off recent form lines, SUPER NUI looks the one they have to beat. She may find this slightly easier than the last start despite it being a Class 1 and coming off a heavy track should suit. NYMPHADORA raced up on speed last start and wasn’t far away from the winner, she maps well here in what looks a slowly run race. TANGO QUEEN is one of the other runners who can race up on speed and get a soft run if the race is run slowly. CORRUPTED drops slightly in grade for this today.
6. Gorbachev
5. Willie Oppa
3. Missile Seeker
2. Hovland
Betting Strategy
Competitive betting race closes out this meeting. GORBACHEV can race up on speed and 3rd up now into this prep looks at a good level of fitness now. The wide barrier is the small query on his chances. WILLIE OPPA resumes of a let up since winning his maiden, he is lightly raced and potentially progressive enough to go through his grades now. MISSILE SEEKER is a runner who maps to be back, he may be ideally suited if they run along quickly out in front and you can swoop over the top. HOVLAND resumes, he may take some improvement going forwards out of this but maps to be prominent.
