Rai: Out 3m entire
Track: Soft 7
Warwick Farm R1 Â 3YO (SW)Â Mdn Plate 1200m Â
ARMOUR FORCE placed twice this grade when last in work. Resumes here but is going well. That should really make him a major player – providing he gets through the mud.
UNCAGED is ready to run a blinder, despite resuming here. Trialled well and placed this grade when last in work. Â Should jump and run here.
ESPIONA is a nicely bred type who is on debut here. But, did win two trials recently and rated highly.
Tip: UNCAGED @ $16
Warwick Farm R2 – Mdn Hcp (3YO+) 1400mÂ
Lots of mud today so Gard to work this race out. PODIUM ran boldly on debut last start to place 3rd this grade so is fit and talented enough. Drawn well and everything points to a big run.
YAGOONA has been tried heavily following a cracking debut run when 4th and is fitter now. Perfect draw helps. Big show.
GRACILISTYLA looks nicely placed. Both starts to date have been in this city maiden grade and has run home hard each time. Distance looks perfect.
 Tip: YAGOONA @ $3.40
Warwick Farm R3 – BM72 (3YO +) 1100m Â
JERLE looks perfectly placed. Ran home hard in a tougher race last start when 2nd. If track doesn’t bother, can win this comfortably. Is very fit.
SUPER CONTENDER has early speed and looks the leader. Certain, because he is very fit, to be on speed all the way. Big danger.
Bush mare SCALDED is a dead set mudlark and her form in the wet is great. Carried 61.5kg on wet track last start to win BM 58 easily. Could surprise with no weight here.
Tip: JERLE @ $2.60
Warwick Farm R4 – BM78 (3YO +) Hcp 1600mÂ
So hard to work these races out with a wet and getting wetter track as the day rolls on. MILK MAN is fit and will appreciate the 2kg allowance. Track may not suit and is on home track which helps. Respect.
JAZZLAND is an enigma. On his day, and he does like it wet, he can set such a torrid pace that he runs the kick out of his rivals. tried it when resuming this grade last start and was a fine 2nd. Is even fitter now.
UFROM THE BUSH is from the bush with outstanding form. Will finish hard.
Tip: JAZZLAND @ $4.70
Warwick Farm R5 – BM72 (3YO+) Hcp 2400mÂ
SAVVY VALENTINO got back and ran home powerfully last start out wide to win handsomely at big odds. Loves this trip, is on home track today and now in form. That’s a potent combo.
SOUND OF CANNONS is better than past couple of sour runs when plodding on each time for 7th. Can improve.
ARABOLINI is tough and fit and in form. All things needed on a heavy track at this trip. Probably leads these  all the way and kept fighting.
 Tip: SAVVY VALENTINO @ $6.00
Warwick Farm R6 – BM72 (Females) 1400mÂ
Home track advantage is tremendous and MAJELLA gets that here. is also super fit and has been up on pace and finishing right there recently in better grade. Rates highly.
Big question is how good is this DARALINA BELLE? She too is trained here and has not lost a race in three starts to date, last start bolted in at Scone. Should run well.
PARACHUTER is also trained here and is also in great, career best form. Past two efforts in particular say she is a major player today.
Tip: PARACHUTER @ $4.70
Warwick Farm R7 – BM78 (3YO+) Hcp 1200mÂ
EXCELTIC has drawn deep but that will help on this wet track today. He is ultra fit and has been making strong ground late in all his runs, at better class, recently. Â Is on home track too.
Similarly, STOLEN JADE whose recent form has been below best. Wet track can make a difference and can place.
MOLLYCODDLE resumes here but has finishing power and likes the mud so that’s probably good enough form.
Tip: EXCELTIC @ $5.70
Warwick Farm R8 – BM72 (3YO+females) Hcp 1100mÂ
LADY BROOK is ready to win. Is third up here, is in great form, hits the line hard. Â Is on home track too. Big show.
Similarly, Godolphin’s TINY. The big blue often win the last race on the card and get a great chance with Tiny here.
YOUR TOO GOOD is fast early and will have to go hard from this gate. Is very fit and may well steal a march on them as they turn.
