Warwick Farm Racing Tips 24 June — can Waller’s army land one?
Wyong Racing Tips 25 June — can Widdup own the maidens?
Opening
Brad Widdup has turned Wyong into a proper hunting ground, and he has loaded the barrels again: multiple runners across the early maidens, plus the right riders turning up at the right times. When a stable wins regularly at a track off real volume, you stop calling it “placement” and start calling it intent.
That’s the lens for these Wyong racing tips on Thursday, 25 June. Four races on the turf, plenty of lightly raced types, and a couple of form horses who are sick of finding one better. I’m leaning into two things: (1) stables and jockeys with repeatable Wyong patterns, and (2) runners whose recent figures scream “next win” even when the raw form looks a touch plain.
Odds weren’t available from the bookmaker feed at time of writing, so this is a pure form and placement read. If you’re the type who wants one strong play and a couple of sensible anchors, you’ll get that here.
Wyong — the setup
No official going listed in the data, so we’re reading the card through barriers, speed maps, and who handles Wyong’s rhythm. Course form across today’s fields is mostly thin, which is normal for provincial maidens and lower-grade handicaps. Where we do have meaningful volume, it sits with the riders and a few key yards.

One more Wyong note worth acting on: the Adkins, Ryan and Alexiou combo has been ruthless here in a small but very direct sample. They’re 2 from 2 together at Wyong, both wins, and they’re back together on Onmalone in the last.
Race-by-race
Race 1: Gosford Air Conditioning Provincial Mdn Plate — 12:45, 1203m
Love You Anyway looks the right kind of “honest maiden” to finally get paid. The form string (222452) reads like a horse that keeps bumping into one, but the recent profile is better than that: six runs in the last 90 days, four of them in the money, and an average finish of 2.5 in that span. That’s a horse holding form, not treading water.
Barrier 3 is the other tick. In a 1203m maiden where plenty will be learning on the job, I want the runner who can land in the first four without burning petrol. The light weight (121.2) helps, and Shannen Llewellyn rides Wyong well enough off real volume, hitting the frame in just under half of her 23 rides here.
The danger is Charm Destination from gate 5. He’s placed in both runs in the last 90 days and he has also placed on his only start at Wyong. He may simply be sharper late than the older stayer-type. The query is whether he gets the right cart into it with no obvious standout speed on paper.
Play: Win bet Love You Anyway. Save on Charm Destination if the market leans heavily your way late.
Race 2: Cotter Accountants Mdn Hcp — 13:20, 1476m
This is a two-year-old maiden where the market usually does the heavy lifting, but I’m siding with the stable signal instead: Short Sea for Peter Snowden with Adkins aboard. Snowden places better than half his Wyong runners and that’s over 13 starters, not a random hit-and-run. This looks like another deliberate placement.
Short Sea comes off a runner-up finish and that’s all we have in the last 90 days: one run, one placing. That’s enough in a 2yo maiden, and the 1476m suits a youngster who has already shown they can sustain a run rather than just ping and pray. Gate 8 isn’t perfect, but if the Freedman and Widdup runners press forward, Adkins can get cover and peel at the right time.
The one who can beat him is Dashing Triple</strong. Same profile, also a last-start second, and he’s drawn 3 which makes his job simpler. If this turns into a sit-sprint, the inside pair with the softer run can pinch it.
Play: Win bet Short Sea if you get a fair price. If the market says Dashing Triple is the clear top pick, consider a quinella rather than trying to be a hero.
Race 3: Mercure Kooindah Waters Mdn Hcp — 13:55, 1476m
The market might gravitate to bigger names and familiar riders, but the best form line on the page belongs to Encryptix</strong. He’s placed in both runs in the last 90 days, and his average finish in that span is 1.0. That’s as strong a “ready to win” signal as you get without a win next to the name.
He does lump 132.2, and in these Wyong maidens that can matter when they’re still learning to quicken. But the tradeoff is class and consistency. I’d rather take the horse who keeps turning up than guess which of the flat ones suddenly finds lengths.
For the danger, Gondorff</strong is the one I can see improving sharply. Joseph Pride doesn’t need many chances to turn a horse around, and Pride’s Wyong record is solid: 21 runners, three wins, and nearly half in the money. Gate 2 also gives Schofield options. Gondorff’s last 90-day profile is plain (one run, no placing, average finish 6th), but maidens can flip quickly when they find the right race.
Play: Win bet Encryptix. Small saver exacta Encryptix over Gondorff if you want protection against the inside improver.

Race 4: Spelling At Domeland Hcp (C1) — 14:35, 1476m
Does this become a race where the winner is simply the horse with the best map? I think so, and that points me straight to Sunvolt</strong from gate 1. He’s been busy and honest (322413), and the inside draw gives him first rights on the rail or the leader’s back. In a Class 1 at Wyong, that’s often the difference between winning and running well.
There’s also a little recent-trajectory push: three runs in the last 90 days, all three in the money, and an average finish of 1.33. That’s not luck. That’s a horse holding form and turning up to do the same thing again.
The headline danger is Onmalone</strong because the booking screams intent. He won last start, he’s a last-90-days winner (one run, one win), and the Adkins, Ryan and Alexiou combo has gone 2 from 2 together at Wyong. That’s only two rides, so call it a hint not a law, but you don’t ignore it either. Gate 8 means he’ll need to do some work early or get a good cart across.
If you want a third into multiples, Gong Girl</strong has placed in both visits to Wyong and she has a strong recent block too (three runs in the last 90 days for a win and another placing). Wide gate 10 makes her ride dependent, though.
Play: Main bet Sunvolt to win. Saver on Onmalone if he’s allowed to find the front without spending. Small place play for Gong Girl if the odds drift.
The plays
If you want one bet you can actually stand behind, I’m making Sunvolt the NAP in the last. The gate (1) and his current run of top-three finishes make him the sort of horse that keeps you out of trouble, and in these Wyong Class 1s that matters as much as raw talent.
The value angle sits in Race 1 with Love You Anyway</strong. Six starts in the last 90 days for four placings is a profile the market often underprices because “maiden” gets stamped on the forehead, but he’s running to a level that wins these races when the right one doesn’t show up.
For multis, the banker is Short Sea</strong. The Snowden yard places well at Wyong over a proper sample, and this looks like the stable has found a winnable 2yo set-up rather than throwing darts.
Course angle to keep in your pocket: when Widdup brings a team to Wyong, he’s not sight-seeing. He wins more than a quarter of his runners here across 26 starters, and his horses rarely look out of place early in the meeting.
Next time Adkins teams up with Ryan and Alexiou at this track, watch the market response. That partnership is building a Wyong habit.
