Upwoods $1.95
Upwoods is the best bet on a tricky card of mid-week racing!
The Redwood gelding looks promising, and he caught the eye of punters first-up at Pakenham.
The step out in distance on Wednesday is advantageous, and barrier one will allow him to lead and dictate the speed throughout.
He will be fitter after his recent outing, and only bad luck in transit will stop him from figuring in the finish.
Lavish Thinker is the apparent danger to the favourite.
The So You Think gelding is knocking on the door, and his first-up run at Geelong was full of merit.
From a middle gate, I expect him to drift back and look for cover, and if he is presented with his run at the right time, he can make his presence felt.
The current soft track conditions add more weight to his case.
Gallium is a must for all broader exotics and multiples.
The Dundeel filly is always thereabouts, and her debut win is just around the corner.

Meg's Magic $6.50
Meg’s Magic can win here resuming.
Both runs last preparation were eye-catching, and she has plenty of natural improvement to come.
The Squamosa filly will appreciate the 1000m fresh, and if she can sit close to the speed from her inside draw, she can peel out and trouble the scorer.
On exposed form, she looks the one to beat.
First-starter Never Let Me Go will start favourite after a recent head-turning trial.
The No Nay Never filly looks talented, and if she can translate her potential to a race day performance, she can prove too strong on her debut.
It may pay dividends to watch for any further market support.
Este Dia has been smashed since markets opened.
The Shalaa gelding produced several teasing trials, and he looks dangerous from an inside draw.
Take on trust.

Baronova $9.00/$3.00
Baronova looks over the odds!
The Fiorente mare will thrive in the soft conditions, and she looks well suited over the longer trip.
She meets easier opposition here, and I am confident the Maher and Eustace polish will turn around her current form.
Jumping from the carpark is the primary concern.
Highland Hill will start favourite after a consistent preparation.
The significant class drop is advantageous, and the Highland Reel gelding should be rock-hard fit at this stage of his preparation.
His winning record is the biggest deterrent.
Dahwilly has had significant market support in early betting.
His quote has been cut in half, and I expect the money to continue until the barriers open.
The form out of his recent outings read incredibly well for this event.
QUADDIE
Q
$35 for 100%
Sir Rockford can look after punters in the first leg of the quaddie.
The Shocking gelding is racing consistently, and he looks to have this race at his mercy.
He meets easier opposition, and the soft conditions make him a good investment.
Flying Basil, Baronova, Sound Of Cannons, Dahwilly, and Highland Hill can fly the flag for the punters in second-leg, while Rain Lord is the banker in the third.
We have gone slightly wider in the lucky last, looking for some value!
