Wellington Cup Day betting preview & best bets | Sunday, April 14
| What | Wellington Cup Day 2024 |
| Where | Wellington Race Club – Bushrangers Creek Rd, Mount Arthur NSW 2820 |
| When | Sunday, April 24, 2024 |
| First Race | 12:40pm AEST |
Sunday country racing heads to the Central Western Slopes of NSW, where the Wellington Race Club gets set to host its marquee meeting. There is a combined $300,000 up for grabs, with the Wellington Showcase Cup (1700m) and Wellington Boot (1100m) sharing top billing. The forecast promises a Good 4 surface prior to the opening race at 12:40pm local time, and with the rail returning to the true position, it should be a fair track throughout the afternoon.
Wellington Cup Tip: Dasho Lennie
Dasho Lennie is third-up after a bold effort at Rosehill on March 16. The son of Territories didn’t seem to handle the Soft going but still battled into the minor money behind Wymark in a slowly run affair. There should be a genuine tempo here, and with the firming conditions helping his chances, Dasho Lennie will prove hard to hold out in the Wellington Cup.

#3 Dasho Lennie (5)

Wellington Boot Tip: Canamble
The Wellington Boot is for the two-year-olds, where the Damien Lane-trained Canamble is searching for back-to-back wins after saluting on debut. It was an impressive victory by the daughter of Aylmerton, kicking clear to score by a length at Coonamble on March 17. She has been aimed at this race a long way out, and provided Jenny Duggan can ping the lids to lead, Canamble will give followers a bold sight in the $200,000 feature.

#5 Canamble (7)

Best Bet at Wellington: Water Lad
Water Lad bounded clear to break his maiden at Mudgee on March 31, and there is no reason he can’t do something similar in Class 1 company. The Headwater gelding was ridden patiently by Braith Nock and got the slipstream passage in behind the speed before sprinting away with the prize. He draws to lob into a stalking position again, so watch for the three-year-old to be doing his best work down the centre of the course.

Race 4 – 
#2 Water Lad (7)
3yo Gelding | T: Brett Cavanough | J: Braith Nock (58.5kg)
Best Value at Wellington: Jamacri
Jamacri resumes after a 182-day spell and looks primed for a first-up assault for the Bjorn Baker barn. She was no match for Yendy in her only start last preparation; however, her trials since have caught the eye, with her latest a soft display at Warwick Farm on March 26. Dylan Gibbons takes the reins aboard Jamacri, so expect a positive steer from stall nine and watch the three-year-old bolt clear in the concluding stages.
Best Value
Race 3 – 
#12 Jamacri (9)
3yo Filly | T: Bjorn Baker | J: Dylan Gibbons (56.5kg)
