Wilde, who trained five winners on the opening day of the Warrnambool carnival has Sirileo Miss in the $200,000 Queen Of The South Stakes over 1600 metres and Mask Up lines up in a $44,000 restricted race over 1200 metres.
Champion jockey Damien Oliver, who has ridden Sirileo Miss at her last two runs which have resulted in a win at Bendigo and a second placing at Caulfield has been booked for the ride on the four-year-old mare.
"I'm expecting a forward showing from Sirileo Miss," Wilde told The Standard.
"Sirileo Miss is just so honest in her races. She puts in a 100 per cent each time.

"Ollie's got a great understanding of her. She's drawn a nice barrier in six and should just push forward from that gate.
"It looks a very even race on paper but she'll be very competitive. We've also got Mask Up in over there and found a nice race for him.
"Mask Up was very impressive with his maiden win at Donald back in October. His track work has been very good leading into this race with a nice jump out at Terang under his belt.
"Mask Up will be ridden by Craig Williams which is a great bonus. I'm expecting him to be travelling mid-field in the run."
Bookmakers have rated Sirileo Miss a $5 chance while Mask Up is favourite at odds of $3.40.
Ciaron Maher, who had his sixth Warrnambool Grand Annual Steeplechase winner on Thursday, has runners at Caulfield, Gosford, Morphettville and Donald on Saturday.
