Country racing heads to Kempsey on Sunday afternoon, with the $40,000 Wauchope Cup (1450m) headlining a competitive eight-part program. The rail is in the true position the entire circuit, and with the track rated a Heavy 8 at the time acceptances, and more rain forecast across the weekend, it’s unlikely to gain an upgrade prior to the opening event at 12:20pm local time.
Wauchope Cup Tip: Rebel’s Edge
Rebel’s Edge is worth forgiving on the seven-day backup after a poor performance at Taree on June 9. The son of Rebel Dane was dragged back towards the rear of the field, caught out three wide without cover throughout the entire journey. His form prior to that effort reads exceptionally well heading into the Wauchope Cup, and provided he can recapture his best, Rebel’s Edge must be considered the one to bear.

Kempsey Best Bet: Pocket Eights
Pocket Eights looks close to cracking his maiden status after an outstanding performance at Newcastle on May 25. The Gregory McFarlane-trained gelding held ground to finish within two lengths of Invincible Emma on that occasion, suggesting a step back to this country maiden would be ideal placement to secure his first-career victory. Gate five should allow Aaron Bullock to gain the perfect stalking position throughout, giving Pocket Eights every conceivable chance.

Next Best Bet: She’s Got Teeth
She’s Got Teeth went down in a photo-finish at Taree on May 27 and appears set to peak third-up into the campaign. The daughter of Holler looked to have them all covered last start before getting swallowed up by Give It A Nudge in the shadows of the post, with the quinella pair clearing out by 3.8 lengths back to third. The Kris Lees-trained filly hasn’t had much luck in nine starts to date, but with this seemingly her best opportunity to claim victory, She’s Got Teeth looks like a terrific bet to kick off the card at Kempsey.

Race 1 – 
#6 She’s Got Teeth (6)
