Cwmbran has a sense of timing about him third up in the 1100m Class 2 Handicap at Wyong on Thursday.

The Joe Pride-trained sprinter has placed in each of his two starts this campaign against useful opposition at Randwick and then Gosford.

Cwmbran now lines up in the easiest assignment he has contested in some time at Wyong on Thursday.

A field of six contests the BJ Howes Metaland Lisarow Class 2 Handicap (1100m) at Wyong on Thursday.

Joe Pride’s four-year-old has both fitness and form on his side heading into the contest.

The gelding has drawn barrier 1 and in a small field and Glyn Schofield will have him poised to strike throughout.

A winner in his lone visit to the track and a prior third up winner, he should be building upon this record on Thursday.

Calvados shapes as the main danger. The filly resumes off a mixed spring preparation although did show genuine promise when fourth at Warwick Farm second up.

The Medaglia D’Oro filly has trialled twice in readiness for this and with blinkers first time is expected to be prominent throughout.

An argument could be made the BJ Howes Metaland Lisarow Class 2 Handicap (1100m) is a race in two between the above mentioned pair.

Cwmbran’s stablemate Supreme Joy goes in as the third elect based on older form.

She hasn’t been at her best this campaign however will be suited third run from a spell and dropping in grade.

The race is shaping as one where the daughter of Lonhro can regain some confidence.
