Wyong racing tips, value bets & odds – Friday, 4 September 2020

Wyong horse racing news

The Wyong Gold Cup and Mona Lisa Stakes headline what is shaping up to be a top-class meeting on the first Friday of the spring. With all the big-name NSW jockeys in attendance, there should be plenty of opportunities to find value throughout the card. An eight-race card kicks off at 12:55pm AEST, with showers forecasted for the back end of the day.

Friday racing tips for Wyong

Best Bet
Race 6 – Emeralds @ $3.10

It isn’t very often that a best bet comes in a Listed race on a Friday afternoon, but Emeralds looks well placed to continue her good form for trainer John Sargent. James McDonald sticks with this four-year-old mare and from barrier 11 can settle midfield, work to the outside and unleash the turn of foot that saw her win easily at Canterbury last time out. She chased home Flit and Lyre early on in her career, so there is enough to suggest she can hold out the Kris Lees galloper Wandabaa here.

Next Best
Race 2 – Rules Don’t Apply @ $3.70

The Chris Waller-trained mare was a drifter in betting last start at Gosford and was no match for the winner when a 3.5L second. After a five-week freshen up, she looks well placed to replicate her win here back on June 18. She had the best 800m-200m sectionals of the meeting that day and chased home impressively to get the job done when favourite. From barrier seven in a small field, Brenton Avdulla will get the opportunity to settle Rules Don’t Apply where he pleases over the mile.

Best Value
Race 3 – Archery Butts @ $8.50/$3 EW

This four-year-old gelding for the Godolphin yard resumes after an 18-week spell. If he can show the form that saw him score first up last campaign, then he will prove hard to catch. He has returned in nice style at the trials, leading throughout and not being asked to do much. Archery Butts had excuses last start at Wyong when ninth behind Spaceboy, and with Kerrin McEvoy on board he rates nicely at a good price.
