Seven races will be run and won at Warwick Farm in Sydney’s west on Wednesday, May 8th.

Inclement weather has continued to batter the greater Sydney metropolitan region throughout the last week, and we're set to be racing on a heavy track, while the rail will be left in the true position around the entire course.
You can find all of my Warwick Farm tips below.
RACE 1 - 12:50PM: James Squire Plate (1000m)
Emirate has shown enough at the trials to install some confidence ahead of his debut at Warwick Farm on Wednesday.
The Extreme Choice colt will be partnered by James McDonald and has options in running from the rails draw.

RACE 2 - 1:25PM: Golden Mile @ Darley Handicap (1300m)
Emilia Jane can make a winning return to the races.
The daughter of Derryn made just one appearance during her debut prep, hitting the line to only just miss over at Te Rapa.
She's had the benefit of a couple of trials leading up to her return and can begin her journey through the grades.

RACE 3 - 2PM: Maiden Plate (1000m)
This is another wide-open race without a lot of form to study, but I am happy to have something small on the resuming Husk.
Husk made just one appearance at the races during her debut prep, hitting the line to finish third behind Photographics here at Warwick Farm in December.
Two recent trials have been slick and something like this does appear to be within her abilities.

RACE 4 - 2:35PM: Petaluma Handicap (1600m)
Mr Buster steps out on Wednesday second-up and primed for an improved performance.
Mr Buster has been racing in consistent form since debuting and dusted off the cobwebs with a far effort to finish fourth in a similar race here last month.
With natural improvement and staying at the mile, I think this is a perfect race for him.

RACE 5 - 3:10PM: Exceedance @ Vinery Stud Handicap (1000m)
This is an open race with several winning chances engaged, including My Eloise at nice odds ($9 at publish).
My Eloise turned in some quality performances last time in, ending her prep with consecutive wins in a couple of benchmark races.
She's a winner at this point of her preparation previously and we can have an each way play this week at the price.
1 Unit E/W My Eloise
RACE 6 - 3:45PM: Schweppes Handicap (1300m)
Another open race with a case to be made for a few of them, including Khumbila.
Khumbila hasn't missed placing in five runs back from a break, recording consecutive victories out at Hawkesbury before only just missing in BM68 company at his latest.
This is the toughest task that he has been set, but he in peak order and rates as a genuine each way chance once more.
1 Unit E/W Khumbila
RACE 7 - 4:20PM: Dundeel At Arrowfield Handicap (1300m)
Pippie Beach can continue her rise through the grades in the last.
Pippie Beach debuted with a decent performance to finish third, beaten a length in maiden company at Newcastle last month before recording an impressive win down at Kembla Grange.
The booking of James McDonald adds confidence this week and the horse looks to have a bright future.
