Warwick Farm is the destination for metro racing on Wednesday afternoon, with a quickfire seven-race program set for decision. The rain continues to fall across Sydney, so although the rail sitting in the true position would normally mean a relatively fair track, the testing Heavy ground could prove to be the major factor when assessing runners. The action is scheduled to get underway at 12:50pm local time.

Best Bet: Emilia Jane

Emilia Jane looks prepared to strike first-up since arriving from across the ditch. The New Zealand import had one start at Te Rapa on January 31 before being transferred to the Joseph Pride barn, and after two impressive barrier trials, she appears to have acclimatised well to her new stable conditions. The daughter of Derryn gets the gun run from stall two under Tyler Schiller, and provided she can handle the Heavy surface, Emilia Jane looks too classy for maiden company.

Race 2 – #1 Emilia Jane (2)

3yo Filly | T: Joseph Pride | J: Tyler Schiller (58kg)

Next Best: Mr Buster

Mr Buster is winless in his three Australian starts but appears close to a peak performance heading into this BM72. The four-year-old was left flat-footed when resuming at this course and distance on April 1, making a sustained run from the rear of the field. Barrier one should allow Tommy Berry to take closer order throughout the 1600m journey, and if Mr Buster can accelerate like he did first-up, he will take a power of beating.

Race 4 – #4 Mr Buster (1)

4yo Gelding | T: Ciaron Maher | J: Tommy Berry (58.5kg)

+350 with Picklebet

Best Value: Gelatin

Gelatin won two of his three starts last preparation and relished the Heavy conditions in his back-to-back wins. The Michael Freedman-trained gelding was then sent to contest a competitive BM72 at Rosehill on January 13 but proved no match for Patrika Mist on a firming Soft 5 surface. He needs the sting out of the ground to produce his best, and with the rain continuing to fall across the region, Gelatin’s chances should only improve heading into this first-up assault.
