NSW provincial racing heads to Wyong on Thursday afternoon for a competitive eight-race program. We’re in for a terrific day of racing as the rail sits back in the true position and a Good 4 track is on the cards. The action gets underway from 1:15pm AEDT.
Best Bet: Edge Of Reward
Edge Of Reward finds a perfect race to break his maiden status on Thursday afternoon in the third event on the card. He steps back in trip from the 1400m last start at Newcastle on October 29 when beaten 0.2 lengths by Wrathful, who went on to win again, so the form looks very strong. The only reservation we have is his record this preparation continually running into seconds; he’s had plenty of excuses, whether it be barriers or lack of luck in running, but there shouldn’t be any on Thursday afternoon. With a perfect barrier four in a small field, it’ll be all about tactics for jockey Lee Magorrian. Edge Of Reward should ping the lids and look to be leading heading into the home turn, and with a fitness edge and a bit of class on his rivals, he should salute for Nathan Doyle and the team.

Next Best: Diamond Drummer
We’ve gone for two maiden gallopers at Wyong, this time with Diamond Drummer in the first. This Mark Newnham-trained gelding has been going well this preparation without much luck, including his last-start effort at Canterbury on November 11 when he went down to Grange Rock Star by 1.8 lengths. He travelled beautifully that day before letting down strongly but was no match for the winner, who had a class edge. This time, our guy is the class of the field. Josh Parr reunites with Diamond Drummer after being aboard for his first two starts of the preparation, and he will look to find a spot midfield with cover before utilising the horse’s strong turn of foot to get his first career win.

Best Value: Singapura
It’s been a long time between victories for Singapura, but he looks a great each-way bet in the last race at Wyong on Thursday afternoon. He’s yet to win a race since March of 2021 but has been around the minor money for quite some time, and we think Ian Finn has found a nice race for this five-year-old gelding by Vancouver. Forget he went around last start at Newcastle on November 12; he missed the start and hit the line well, but Floating destroyed all his rivals on that occasion. We’re more taken with his performance behind Tamerlane on November 1 at Randwick when he powered to the line; that horse has won again since, so the form looks quality for this BM64 contest. We get some nice weight relief in this class of field as well with apprentice Qin Yong getting Singapura down to 53.5kg with his 3kg claim. He gets a terrific barrier, to boot, and this clearly looks his best chance to bag his second career win.
