Feature midweek racing south of the border on Wednesday is in regional Victoria at Sale.
For his best bet, racing expert Adam Curkpatrick is backing a 4YO star from the Price/Kent stable to salute.

Best Bet
Race 8, 1200m
Corkscrew ($7.00, $2.50)
Corkscrew ($7.00, $2.50) resumes on the back of two tidy jump-outs, the latest in good time for the morning.
He undoubtedly has a good level of ability and based on his lead in work, I expect he returns to his second prep form, which has him the horse to beat. There are certainly multiple key chances, including Rylov ($5.50), Blood Oath ($4.40) and Liberty Step ($4.40). However, I do like the set up of Corkscrew ($7.00) and figures to boot.
Tip: Win
Value Bet
Race 7, 1000m
Stay In Touch ($9.00, $3.00)
Stay In Touch ($9.00, $3.00) resumed well behind stablemate and opponent here again today, in Field Of Flutes ($2.90).
Small field, trying conditions and closed off well on that runner, returning meeting top final figures.
With race fitness and soft map, I think she should be a lot closer to the stablemate, and with that, I’m happy to make her the value play today.
