Race-by-race preview and tips for Wellington meeting on Tuesday
Race 1
3. Millepied is a former Victorian who was unplaced in seven runs down south before debuting for the new stable, with a third at Binnaway. He hasn't found an overly tough race to compete in here and gets his chance to break through. 8. Withania finished second in the same race Millepied contested at Binnaway and looms as a chance again on that effort. 6. Inquisitrix hasn't been too far away despite being unplaced in all three runs since resuming and a bold showing is on the cards. 5. Harsh Mistress is also coming out of the Binnaway event in which she finished fifth.
How to play it: Millepied WIN
Race 2
12. Tucklan is a Casino Prince filly on debut and has had two trials either side of a break. She ran second in the last trial at this track and has drawn ideally here. A forward showing is expected. 3. Twining Lass made his debut with a third at this track and followed that up with a fourth at Dubbo at his only other start. He should figure prominently again here. 11. Outlaw Annie is on debut and ran third in a trial at Narromine. She was safely held in that, but could show up here. 6. I'm Independent showed improvement when resuming from a spell last time out with a third behind Pressnell at Dubbo. She's drawn well enough here to play a part in the finish with a repeat of that effort.

Race 3
11. Lady Lilibet resumed from a spell with a midfield effort at Scone and followed that up with a fifth at Quirindi when not disgraced. The step-up in distance looks like it should suit, and she gets her chance to break through here. 6. Omikami has finished in the placings in each of her latest two starts and can run into the placings again. 9. Sweet As A Kiss had been racing well before breaking through with a strong victory at Narromine at her latest start and she can be in the finish again despite the wide draw. 5. Instead finished fourth behind Sweet As A Kiss last time out and can get into the placings.
How to play it: Lady Lilibet EACH WAY
Race 4
9. Best Defence has been racing well with placings in his latest two starts at Dubbo and Narromine. He's drawn well here and gets in well with the claim from Zoe Hunt. 11. The Git Up was resuming from a spell when finishing second behind Pressnell at Dubbo. She's been placed in six of 10 starts and warrants respect. 10. Helen's Crown ran well when a last-start placegetter at Narromine, while 7. Marvel Man is on debut for a new stable and is worth including.
