Provincial racing heads to Wyong on Tuesday afternoon for an ultra-competitive eight-race program. The rail is out +3m for the entire circuit, and as the track is already a Soft 7 with more showers still to come, that rating will be closer to the Heavy range by race-day. The opening event is scheduled to get underway at 1:15pm local time.
Best Bet: Rush Hour
Considering Rush Hour was returning from a 343-day spell at Rosehill on February 2, he received a pass mark. The three-year-old colt was no match for Wallenda but did hit the line powerfully under Kerrin McEvoy, suggesting there was still plenty of improvement to come for the Nathan Doyle-trained galloper. He gains the services of 3kg claimer Benjamin Osmond on Tuesday, and with a bit more luck in transit, Rush Hour will be fighting out the finish in this Class 1 contest.
Best Bet
Race 7 – 
#2 Rush Hour (7)
3yo Colt | T: Nathan Doyle | J: Benjamin Osmond (a3kg) (60.5kg)
+210 with PlayUp
Next Best: Paruna
Paruna did enough on debut at Randwick’s Kensington circuit on January 31 to suggest she’s worth following second-up. The Ciaron Maher-trained filly was tough when attempting to lead all the way over 1250m, and despite suffering a two-length defeat, she should take plenty of benefit from that experience. She maps to lead again on Tuesday, and with the Wyong course being much more favourable to on-speed gallopers, Paruna should fit in perfectly in this provincial maiden.
Next Best
Race 5 – 
#11 Paruna (2)
3yo Filly | T: Ciaron Maher | J: Jason Collett (56.5kg)

Best Value: Scalextrics
Scalextrics should appreciate the sting out of the ground as he returns after 151 days off the scene. The son of So You Think has only found the winners’ enclosure in one of his five starts to date, which came on resumption last preparation on a genuine Heavy surface. He could find similar conditions at Wyong, and with stall one giving apprentice Rebecca Bronett Prag all available options, Scalextrics should be fighting out the finish at an each-way price with online bookmakers.
Best Value
Race 6 – 
#7 Scalextrics (1)
4yo Gelding | T: Matthew Smith | J: Rebecca Bronett Prag (a3kg) (55kg)
