Wyong Race Club is the destination for provincial racing on Thursday afternoon, where the $150,000 Provincial-Midway Championships Wildcard headlines a competitive nine-part program. The rail is in the true position the entire circuit for the meeting, and with improving conditions forecast leading into race-day, punters can expect the Heavy 8 rating at the time of acceptances to be upgraded into the Soft range prior to the opening event at 12:50pm local time.
Provincial-Midway Wildcard Tip: French Ruler
French Ruler was far from disgraced finishing 4.3 lengths off Matcha Latte at Newcastle on March 20, holding his ground in an on-speed-dominated contest. The John Sargent-trained three-year-old gets the blinkers applied for the first time to keep his mind on the job, as Keagan Latham looks to land in a handy position from barrier eight. He should get a genuine tempo to sprint off despite dropping back to the 1350m, and provided he can secure an economical run in transit, watch for French Ruler to be storming over the top at a good price with horse racing bookmakers.

Best Bet at Wyong: Lady Pankhurst
Lady Pankhurst gave a good account of herself debuting in the Group 2 Reisling Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on March 8. It was always going to be a tricky assignment first-up; however, she never shirked the task to stick within 4.3 lengths of Group 1 Golden Slipper (1200m) placegetter, Tempted. That’s clearly the best form dropping back into this provincial maiden, and Rachel King likely to take it up from stall five, Lady Pankhurst will take plenty of chasing down heading into start two.

Race 2 – 
#9 Lady Pankhurst (5)
2yo Filly | T: John Sargent | J: Rachel King (55kg)
Next Best at Wyong: Reducio
Reducio appears set to strike first-up after a 215-day spell, with the Harry Angel filly catching the eye in two recent barrier trials. She would’ve gone straight past Rhegion in her latest piece of work at Rosehill on March 17 if asked for an effort, with Kerrin McEvoy being very kind to the three-year-old in the final furlong. She’s likely to get back towards the rear of the field drawn the widest of eight runners, but with an element of class on this lot, expect Reducio to power of the top to justify favouritism with .

Race 3 – 
#6 Reducio (8)
3yo Filly | T: James Cummings | J: Kerrin McEvoy (56.5kg)
Best Value at Wyong: Marenaro
Although Marenaro has been a shade disappointing in two starts to kick-off the campaign, punters can expect the son of Dundeel to bounce back third-up. Stepping out to the 2100m should be ideal, and with Aaron Bullock likely to get the run of the race from stall one, Marenaro should get every chance to figure at an each-way price with .
Best Value
Race 4 – 
#4 Marenaro (1)
4yo Gelding | T: Dean Mirfin | J: Aaron Bullock (58kg)
