We go around the grounds each Wednesday, collating the latest form, tips and analysis from across Australia to find the strongest plays of the day. We've done the homework and narrowed it down to our Wednesday Set — the best bets to give you every chance of getting on the board.
Bendigo Race 4 — Benchmark 66
2400m, 2:35pm
Has been building nicely this preparation and was brave two starts back after covering ground before sticking on strongly over 2000m last time. The rise to 2400m looks ideal and he should get a much better run from the draw.
BetBunkerMurray Bridge Race 3 — Maiden Plate
1400m, 3:25pm
Has shown ability in both starts, placing on debut before running second over 1300m at Balaklava. She should appreciate the bigger track and the rise to 1400m looks another positive.
BetBunkerEagle Farm Race 4 — 3YO Maiden Plate
1400m, 4:28pm
Has been doing his best work late in both starts and had virtually no chance last time after settling back in a slowly run race. The rise to 1400m and a stronger tempo should give him a much better opportunity to show his best.
BetBunkerHis racing pattern and pedigree both point strongly towards the extra distance suiting.
Warwick Farm Race 4 — F&M Benchmark 72
1100m, 4:45pm
Returned with a strong effort in Saturday grade at Rosehill and drops back to a much more suitable midweek assignment. Barrier two gives her the chance to enjoy a soft run and she should improve with the first-up effort behind her.
BetBunkerStrong class drop, ideal draw and second-up improvement make this an excellent setup.
Warwick Farm Race 6 — Benchmark 88
1200m, 5:55pm
Was desperately unlucky when finishing less than a length away in Group 3 company last start and now drops back to a Wednesday Benchmark 88. Her form throughout the preparation has been strong and she only needs clear running to be extremely hard to beat.
BetBunkerStakes-quality recent form dropping back to midweek company makes her the standout of the day.
Belmont Race 5 — Handicap
1000m, 7:00pm
Remains unbeaten after two starts and showed good acceleration to get the job done at Ascot last time. She should settle within striking distance from barrier three and her sharp turn of foot is well suited to the drop back to 1000m.
BetBunkerTwo from two, tactically versatile and still looks to have further improvement to come.
