Horse Racing Tips: Katie Midwinter's best bets on Wednesday including 14/1 Gowran Park pick

Perth, 16:10 - Back Atlantic City @ 10/34.33

Five-year-old mare Atlantic City makes her handicap debut after being seen solely in maiden company to date, bidding to get off the mark at the 11th attempt. This is her second start for Olly Murphy having been previously trained by Ciaran Murphy, for whom she was able to make the frame on multiple occasions behind horses now rated higher including 133-rated Good To Be Alive, 117-rated Walks The Talk, and 116-rated Janes Harbour.

A mark of 105 could prove workable and she has 5lb claimer Lewis Saunders aboard. She showed a good attitude to fight back and claim second at Haydock when last seen, shaping as though a step back up to this intermediate distance will suit. The yard won this race two years ago with Space Voyage and are performing at a 40 percent strike-rate here so far this term.

There's plenty to like about the chances of Atlantic City, and she could shed her maiden tag and hit the jackpot if she plays her cards right in this handicap contest.

Gowran Park, 17:48 - Back Greydreambeliever @ 9/25.50

Greydreambeliever made a promising start on yard debut for Joseph O'Brien over a mile here recently. She was no match for her dominant stablemate Sindria but pulled three-lengths clear of the rest of the field and is entitled to improve for the outing.

Up 3lb to a mark of 81, the daughter of Dark Angel is one to keep onside. She has coped with the track as well as softer conditions, and has form over shorter, too, therefore the drop back a furlong should be suitable. 

The yard continues in a rich vein of form and this four-year-old could return to the winners' enclosure for the first time since a debut win at York in 2024, partnered by Ronan Whelan once again on her second outing of the season.

Gowran Park, 17:48 - Back Pink Oxalis E/W @ 14/115.00

Top weight Pink Oxalis is another to consider in this 11-runner field, capable of putting in a bold bid if able to return to the form of last year having failed to feature in two runs so far in 2026. She's 5lb higher than her last win but has 3lb claimer Jack Kearney aboard, easing her burden, and was able to be competitive at Listed level in November when beaten only a length-and-three-quarters by Aviatrice at Dundalk.

A likeable performer, the five-year-old mare has winning form at the course and has coped with softer conditions, too. She may prove worth keeping the faith in as she's on a workable mark, is in calmer waters than when last seen in the Irish Lincolnshire, with course form in her favour and the benefit of a recent run.

Gowran Park, 18:18 - Back City Of Memphis @ 7/42.75

Four-year-old filly City Of Memphis hasn't been seen since finishing fifth to Lake Victoria in last season's Irish 1000 Guineas. She achieved a rating of 106 with that performance, putting in a great effort following a debut success at Cork, and remains unexposed as she makes her return.

If ready to go after a 332-day absence, the exciting prospect could be tough to beat for Paddy Twomey. A daughter of Sioux Nation, she has shown to possess plenty of ability and if she has shown further improvement she could be a useful performer this term.

Gowran Park, 19:18 - Back Kitty Bear @ 9/25.50

In the penultimate 7f contest, four-year-old filly Kitty Bear makes appeal on the back of a noteworthy performance at Leopardstown when last seen. She couldn't sustain the effort late on that day, but emerged with credit despite being the beaten 7/24.50 favourite, and could be worth keeping onside from a workable mark.

In her previous race, the daughter of Kodi Bear was narrowly denied at Dundalk by Alto Sax, having previously finished a good fourth to Amemri. She beat Imperial Fighter when defying odds of 14/115.00 on the all-weather in January, and had run well in her previous outing at this track in October too, when third from a 1lb higher mark.

With 7lb claiming Orla Tynan in the plate, Kitty Bear holds solid claims at the weights and could finish best of all with plenty in her favour.

Gowran Park, 19:48 - Back You Make Me Smile E/W @ 15/28.50

In the extended 1m5f finale at Gowran Park, You Make Me Smile could hold an each-way chance under Billy Lee as she seeks a fifth career win.

She's entitled to come on for her return to action at Navan when last seen, which was her first outing for 133 days, and, although 10lb above her latest win at Galway, may be good enough to pose a threat with conditions as well as the trip to suit.

The eight-year-old mare, who makes her 34th career start in this handicap, is one to note and could be capable of a bold showing.
