The Dubbo Turf Club will play host to the $100,000 Dubbo Gold Cup on Sunday, with the first two horses past the post earning eligibility for The Big Dance on Melbourne Cup Day. HorseBetting’s New South Wales racing analyst has picked out his best bets and quaddie selections for the eight-race meeting, which is set to begin at 1:10pm AEST. The track is rated a Heavy 9 and the rail is in the true position for the entire course.
Dubbo Gold Cup Best Bet – Aeecee Express
Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott take four-year-old gelding Aeecee Express to Dubbo for the feature on Sunday, and with the heavy track conditions and light weight, we think he will take beating. The lightly raced son of Savabeel has won three of his seven starts, while he was a dominant all-the-way winner on a Heavy 8 in August on the Kensington track at Randwick over 1300m. Although he’s drawn the carpark in barrier 18, Winona Costin will waste no time on this fit horse, sending him straight to the front and giving them something to chase. He’s now fourth-up and the mile should really suit, while the form around Waterford looks superior.

Best Bet at Dubbo – Syrian Star
Rodney Northam and Reece Jones combine in the last with promising three-year-old filly Syrian Star. The daughter of Stratum Star has only had three starts, winning one and running second in the other. In her first-up run this preparation she bolted in on a Heavy 10 at Tamworth to break her maiden, before running second to the group-performed Antonio Giovanni last start at this track. She will race handy to the speed from barrier eight which will suit, as will the rise to 1300m. It is a very winnable race for this galloper.

Next Best at Dubbo – Cloudland
Kris Lees could have a smart four-year-old on his hands here. Cloudland did everything wrong in his only race start, but he was still a 1.25-length winner at Muswellbrook back in April on a Soft 7. He was suspended for hanging out, but that suspension was dropped after two successful barrier trials in August, where he impressed behind Kipsbay and Rustic Steel. The grey son of Swiss Ace looks to have plenty of raw ability, so we are tipping he will keep his record in-tact when he returns on Sunday in this Benchmark 58. Aaron Bullock rode the horse in his debut victory, so he gets to keep the ride which will be handy given they’ve drawn wide in gate 11, but we expect him to still be too good.
