Wyong Racing Tips for Thursday, April 16th 2026

We have expert betting tips for racing at Wyong on Thursday, which includes eight races at the quality meeting.

Punters get good value odds for the New South Wales meeting, and we have betting tips for every race on the card.

Race 1. (12:45) Wyong Pony Club Maiden (1600m)

#1 – Col Du Tourmalet @ $4.20

BET NOW

Col Du Tourmalet comes off a second placing at Canberra on debut, and that is a tidy form guide for this race.

The three-year-old son of Redwood will only improve with time, being by Redwood, and the early form is a good sign.

Barrier two is ideal, so take the each-way odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (13:20) Tall Timbers Pony Club Midway Maiden (1200m)

#4 – Time to Dance @ $3.00

BET NOW

After opening at $3.80, money has come for Time to Dance, who ran third in a recent trial at Warwick Farm.

The three-year-old son of Savabeel is bred to be better than average and getting Zac Lloyd in the saddle is enough to drop the odds.

We’re happy to include him in picks based on the betting move.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (13:55) Easy Mix Concrete Maiden (1000m)

#1 – Bruce I Am @ $2.60

BET NOW

Bruce I Am is another heavily backed runner at Wyong, who opened at $3.70 before being backed at every stage of the market.

The three-year-old son of Star Turn has had four trials for three placings, including a placing at Warwick Farm last time out.

Barrier two is ideal, so he will get every chance in the run.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 4. (14:35) Totally Workwear Central Coast Maiden (1100m)

#6 – Glamour Magic @ $15.00

BET NOW

Punters get value odds for Glamour Magic, who owns a trial placing at Warwick Farm, and she’s going under the radar.

The three-year-old filly by Satono Aladdin is bred well enough to figure in the finish, and although she might need more time, she could run a bad race.

We’re taking the double-figure odds in what should be a close contest.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (15:15) Hanslow Insurance Group BM64 (1200m)

#2 – Johnny @ $3.30

BET NOW

Johnny has been a tough bet this season, but after five runs without a win, we’re giving him one more chance.

The three-year-old son of Farnan was heavily backed at Hawkesbury last start when running third, but it was good enough to recommend for this race.

Getting 1.5kg off his back could be enough to take him close.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 6. (15:50) Pumpers Wear Parts BM64 (1200m)

#4 – Miss Capitale @ $4.00

BET NOW

Miss Capitale showed good speed when winning at Beaumont fresh up before placing at Newcastle last time out.

The Matthew Smith-trained mare owns two wins and two placings from five starts, so there is a lot to like about the way she started her career.

It’s an even field, so the each-way odds are worth taking.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (16:25) Mates in Construction BM68 (1000m)

#4 – Ride the River @ $5.50

BET NOW

It could pay to overlook his recent run at Albury when running seventh, and he looked better when winning at Kembla Grange.

The four-year-old son of Headwater prefers some moisture in the surface, so conditions should be ideal for him on race day.

Drawing barrier two ensures a good run, so he is a good bet at the price.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 8. (17:05) Eagles Plumbing BM64 (2100m)

#10 – Rita’s Pearl @ $9.50

BET NOW

The four-year-old mare keeps running good races in defeat, including a second placing at Gosford last time out.

She owns a win and three placings from 11 starts, and her best form comes at Wyong with two starts for two second placings.

With 55.5kg on her back, she is worth including in horse racing picks.

Stake: 1 Unit
