Country racing heads to the NSW Riverina on Sunday afternoon for the annual running of the $36,000 Gundagai Cup (1800m). The rail is in the true position throughout the entire circuit, and with the track rated Soft 6 leading into the weekend with more showers on the way, punters should expect a downgrade into the Heavy range. Racing at Gundagai is set to commence at 12:35pm local time.
Gundagai Cup Tip: Cliff House
Cliff House should be able to make it back-to-back wins after careering away with the Albury Mile (1600m) last time out. The son of Starcraft was far more dominant visually than the half-length margin might suggest, as he and the runner-up cleared out on their rivals in the concluding stages. The 1800m looks ideal, and although Danny Beasley may need to circle the field from stall 17, Cliff House appears classy enough to get the job done in the Gundagai Cup.

Best Bet at Gundagai: Luna Rocks
Luna Rocks resumed after a 201-day spell at Albury on March 22, and although she was beaten by a length, it was a positive outing for the Mitchell Beer-trained mare. She made strong inroads from the rear of the field, managing to sprint into second place despite the long layoff. Expect Angus Villiers to send her forward this time from barrier four, and with Luna Rocks set to relish the Heavy conditions, she will look the winner at some stage.

Next Best at Gundagai: Suspect
Suspect kicked clear to claim his maiden victory at Albury on March 21 and gets a terrific opportunity to make his way back into the winners’ circle. The son of I Am Invincible had been crying out for a step up in trip to 1400m and managed to put them away stylishly when given his cue. This Class 2 contest will prove a much tougher task, but with a confidence-building win under his belt, Suspect can secure another victory at start seven.
