Warwick Farm hosts Sydney’s midweek metropolitan program on September 2nd, and seven races are on the program.
Check out our Warwick Farm Tip Sheet below.
Blessed Eagle showed ability at the trials prior to debuting before hitting the line to win his only start so far, right here at Warwick Farm. While this is a rise in class, he has plenty of upside and can go on with it.
| 1. Blessed Eagle (2) J: Tim Clark 61.5kg 1 T: Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott |
Sing Your Song only just missed on debut at Randwick-Kensington in April and was immediately tipped out, while she returned to action to fill the minors over 1200m at Canterbury last month. Having been back to the trials since her latest effort, James McDonald rides and the horse can begin her journey through the grades.
| 12. Sing Your Song (11) J: James McDonald 55.5kg 2×3 T: Chris Waller |
Appeared ended his debut preparation in Ireland with a maiden victory, picking up where he left off when debuting in Australia to win over 1880m at Newcastle last month. Stripping fitter and getting further out in trip, he’ll take plenty of beating again.
| 1. Appeared (6) J: Dylan Gibbons 59kg 031×1 T: Bjorn Baker |
Mazis has been a model of consistency through 11 starts since debuting and returned to action with a nice performance to fill the minors behind the talented Mr Miller a fortnight ago. He strips fitter, will relish the rise in trip and doesn’t meet a horse of that ability this time.

Queen’s Gamble was only just denied in a pair of sprints at Canterbury first and second up before breaking her maiden in dominant fashion over 1300m here at Warwick Farm. In peak condition, this is a great opportunity for her to go on with it, and she is my best bet on the program.
| 11. Queen’s Gamble (7) J: James McDonald 56kg 3×221 T: Matthew Smith |
We haven’t seen Cavalry at the races since April, but he was outstanding last time in, recording a couple of nice victories at Newcastle before only just missing in Saturday metro company at Flemington. Having had the benefit of a trial ahead of this week’s return, he can hit the ground running.
| 3. Cavalry (1) J: Tyler Schiller 59kg 2112x T: M, W & J Hawkes |
Having turned in some fine performances during her autumn prep, winning a race not dissimilar to this one most notably, Manukau dusted off the cobwebs with a credible effort to finish on the placegetters’ heels here a fortnight ago. With natural improvement, she can build on a strong second up record.
| 7. Manukau (10) J: Tim Clark 58kg 225×4 T: Michael Freedman |
Best – Race 5 No. 11 Queen’s Gamble
