He has had just one career start so far, but The Poacher returned an eye-catching effort on debut, and he looks well placed to break his maiden this afternoon.
The three-year-old son of No Nay Never showed promise at the trials last month and ran home well to finish within a length second of Mayrose at Randwick-Kensington.
He’ll take plenty of improvement for that experience, and this looks the perfect race for him.
Garmish is another horse who looks beautifully placed to break his maiden at Wyong this afternoon.
The Snitzel colt finished a credible fourth on Heavy going at Canterbury on debut and was last seen finishing second at Newcastle.
He has been freshened, has been back to the trials and can win something like this.
The well-bred Zudin can return to winning form in Race 5 at Wyong this afternoon.
Zudin doesn’t win out of turn, but he also rarely races poorly, and he takes his place in this contest rock-hard fit, and off the back of a close second behind Unamerican at Gosford.
James McDonald rides, and the horse probably won’t be afforded a better opportunity to win than this.
Toro Toro hasn’t been seen at the races since June, but he is a multiple fresh winner, and I am confident that his class will take him a long way towards winning this contest.
The Time For War gelding has been a great horse for Scone-based trainer Stephen Jones since debuting, and has been a strong and consistent performer in Town throughout.
He has been charged with lugging topweight, but Regan Bayliss rides from a good draw, and we can have an each-way play at his current odds ($15 at publish).
