Sale Cup Day preview & betting tips | October 29, 2023
| What | Sale Races |
| Where | Sale Turf Club – 1227 Maffra-Sale Rd, Sale VIC 3850 |
| When | Sunday, October 29, 2023 |
| First Race | 1:10pm AEDT |
The Listed Sale Cup (1600m) takes centre stage on a bumper nine-race card this Sunday afternoon at Sale Racecourse. Despite the track coming up a Soft 5 at the time of acceptances, but we should be racing on a Good 4 this weekend. The rail sticks in its true position, with Sale Cup Day commencing at 1:10pm AEDT.
Sale Cup Tip: Rubamos
It is hardly a star-studded edition of the Listed Sale Cup, but the Chris Waller-trained Rubamos is the one to beat. The six-year-old was beaten a length behind Ayrton and Stageman in the Listed Weekend Hussler Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield, and this looks to be much easier. Craig Williams will have Rubamos settled towards the rear from barrier eight, but with a genuine tempo expected, the race is perfectly set up for Rubamos to blouse the leaders.

Race 7 – 
#2 Rubamos (8)
6yo Gelding | T: Chris Waller | J: Craig Williams (58kg)
Best Bet at Sale: Calico Jack
It was a hard watch for those on Calico Jack at Moonee Valley on October 6. The four-year-old was badly held up for a run on the leader’s back last time out and went down by 1.7 lengths. Barrier four and the wider surrounds of Sale should help him avoid such traffic issues. The son of Merchant Navy has been competitive in tougher races, and if he is anywhere near his best, he should be winning.
Best Bet
Race 4 – 
#1 Calico Jack (4)
4yo Gelding | T: Ciaron Maher & David Eustace | J: Jamie Mott (60kg)
Next Best at Sale: Modown
Modown simply got too far out of his ground on debut at Ballarat, but he savaged the line over 1200m to suggest 1400m second-up should be ideal. The four-year-old from the Charlotte Littlefield barn was taking substantial ground off his rivals late to go down by 1.3 lengths. Despite drawing barrier 11, Modown will settle towards the rear of the field. If Craig Williams can have him settled a pair or two closer, the pair should be able to mow down the leaders this time.
Next Best
Race 1 – #4 Modown (11)
3yo Gelding | T: Charlotte Littlefield | J: Craig Williams (58kg)
Best Value at Sale: High Done
The Paul & Tracy Templeton-trained High Done is a Sale specialist, boasting three wins and seven minor placings from 16 starts at the track. The son of High Chaparral was grabbed on the winning post when lugging a big weight in BM58 company last time out, so the step up to BM64 and dropping 3kg should prove to be a winning setup. He will find the lead from barrier two, and with a cheap sectional or two, High Done will prove too hard to run down.
Best Value
Race 8 – 
#3 High Done (2)
8yo Gelding | T: Paul & Tracey Templeton | J: Tatum Bull (a2) (59.5kg)
