Metro racing returns to the Central Coast of NSW on Wednesday afternoon for a competitive eight-race program at Wyong. The rail is out +3m for the entire circuit, and with the rain continuing to fall across the region, the track is likely to be downgraded into the Soft range prior to the opening event at 1:45pm AEDT.

Best Bet at Wyong: Commemorative

Commemorative returns after a 17-week spell having been thrown in the deep end last time out. Although she closed off gamely in the Group 3 Thoroughbred Club Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield on November 18, it all came a bit too soon for the daughter of I Am Invincible. Her two barrier trials since returning to work have caught the eye, and with James McDonald set to hop back aboard this progressive three-year-old, Commemorative should be right in this BM72 contest.

Next Best at Wyong: Just Party

Just Party produced a tough front-running debut at Newcastle on March 8, and although he couldn’t cling to victory, it was still a strong outing by the son of Justify. He was sent straight to the front under Tim Clark and was constantly pestered before Last Command got the head down on the wire. Expect similar tactics in this event, and with the Soft surface the only query, Just Party will go close to chalking up his maiden victory.

Next Best Again at Wyong: Starman

Starman has found the minor money on three consecutive occasions heading into this BM78 contest. He was just nosed out in his most recent effort at Rosehill on February 24, with the gelding by Zoustar unable to reel in Gently Rolled. He maps to get a mid-field sit with cover throughout the 1350m journey, and with James McDonald taking the ride, it should give punters confidence that Starman can go one better on Wednesday.
