It’s Guyra Cup Day on Sunday afternoon, however we head to Armidale for this Country Cup meeting. We currently sit on a Heavy 9 for race-day, although we have some clearing days ahead, so there is hope we’re set for an upgrade heading into Sunday. The first race is scheduled for a start time of 1:46pm AEDT with the rail is in the True position for this seven-race program.
Guyra Cup: Hyland Bay
Hyland Bay looks to make it three wins on the trot in Sunday’s Guyra Cup feature over the 1400m. He comes to this race in outstanding order and on a month freshen for this race after being too good BM66 company last start at Tamworth over the 2100m on October 6. He was powering to the line that day when winning impressively by 2.3-lengths and while the 1400m here looks a strange play by the Wayne Oakenfull team, his form at the trip isn’t anything to knock, and the wet track will play into his favour. Winona Costin should get on the back of the likely leader New World Tapestry, and from there, career win number four won’t look far away.

Best Bet at Armidale: Bonjour Rupert
We get the best of the day out of the way in the first race on Guyra Cup Day with the Brett Cavanough-trained maiden galloper Bonjour Rupert. He looks the clear progressive horse in this race with plenty of first starters in this field, plus a couple that haven’t shown much at the races, Bonjour Rupert’s one career start looks more than good enough for us to say he should be winning this contest over the 1100m. His first-up effort behind Shikanic at Muswellbrook on October 17 was terrific, after being forced to swing very wide turning for home he powered to the line to only be beaten 0.5 lengths. With a bit more luck and a better gate than first-up, this gelding by Winning Rupert should be too classy for this lot. Ashley Morgan should only need to find some cover mid-race and Bonjour Rupert should be getting his first win in stylish fashion.

Race 1 – 
#4 Bonjour Rupert (6)
3yo Gelding | T: Brett Cavanough | J: Ashley Morgan (57.5kg)
Next Best at Armidale: Hoku
Hoku looks a cracking bet on Sunday afternoon in the third race on the card. This gelding by Zoustar has had nine opportunities to break his maiden status, and he’ll have no better chance than this 1400m contest. He looks ready to peak here after a solid effort last start behind Binkou at Newcastle on October 24, he was holding well along the rail turning for home, which in hindsight wasn’t where you wanted to be that day, staying on nicely behind a horse that looks an impressive type going forward. If he can replicate a similar effort here, his rivals don’t look to have form near this his best. Look for Rachael Murray to either lead or get leaders back from the soft barrier, and when asked Hoku should kick clear of his rivals to get his victory in career start number ten.
