Race 1 – Maiden Plate (1100m)

Jen Rules is a debuting runner that can win at the first attempt. The Snowden runner has trialed well leading into this run and is drawn perfectly to win on Wednesday.
Race 1 tip: Jen Rules to win ($2.90 at Neds)
Race 2 – Maiden Plate (1100m)

Ljungberg is racing second-up after a rock-solid run at this track on June 6, where the colt missed out by a head. The two-year-old looks to be a hot prospect, but it starts with breaking the maiden grade. This looks to be a winnable event.
Race 2 tip: Ljungberg to win ($3.30 at William Hill)
Race 3 – Benchmark 74 (1250m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1187542_03]
Seasons just wins this one. The horse has one win from three attempts, but has never finished worse than four parts of a length away from winning. The last-start win was impressive and the filly is drawn perfectly to go back-to-back.
Race 3 tip: Seasons to win ($2 at Sportsbet)
Race 4 – Benchmark 76 (1900m)

Bringagem is hunting a hat-trick and looks well placed to again add its name to the winner’s list. The horse has saluted in back-to-back events as a short-priced favourite and it will be again highly competitive.
Race 4 tip: Bringagem to win ($2.40 at Sportsbet)
Race 5 – Benchmark 70 (1900m)

Ombudsman has won or placed in its last six events and will again be in the mix. The Waller and Bowman combination is always strong, and a drop back in grade boosts our confidence even further.
Race 5 tip: Ombudsman to win ($3.30 at William Hill)
Race 6 – Benchmark 75 (1580m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1187542_06]
In a wide-open affair King Tomlola’s winning form is hard to look past. The Gerald Ryan-trained gelding is undefeated across three runs this preparation, and despite drawing a wide gate we believe he’s the horse to beat.
Race 6 tip: King Tomlola to win ($5.50 at Neds)
Race 7 – Benchmark 79 (1200m)

Americana Magic resumed in sensational fashion on May 22, winning by just shy of two and a half lengths as a double figure outsider. The market won’t be sleeping on the All American three-year-old on Wednesday but there’s still great value around. It’s a big step-up in class but the horse drops in weight.
Race 7 tip: Americana Magic to win ($7 at Ladbrokes)
