Gunnedah Cup Best Bet – The Scotsman
We are siding with the race favourite, who is now searching for a third-straight victory. The Scotsman won well at Cowra two starts ago, before leading all of the way in the Gooree Cup at Mudgee three weeks ago to win by nearly four lengths. Trained at Mudgee by David Smith, this eight-time winner will be having his first spin around the Gunnedah track on Sunday afternoon. From barrier five, apprentice Zac Wadick will take this seven-year-old son of Excites to the front, and with only 53.5kg on his back he should take plenty of running down.

Best Best at Gunnedah – Ice In Vancouver
The short way looks the easy way home in the sixth, with class galloper Ice In Vancouver likely to find the front from the inside alley and lead all of the way. The Cody Morgan-trained four-year-old hasn’t raced since his win in track-record time in the Tamworth Newmarket in December, but an April trial win suggested he has come back in good order. With Aaron Bullock in the saddle from barrier one, Ice In Vancouver looks to have every chance to make it win five at start 10.

Best Value at Gunnedah – Corvo
Corvo is yet to win in six New South Wales starts, but the former Tony Gollan runner finds himself in a very winnable race on Sunday. The four-year-old son of Spirit Of Boom has been the runner-up on two separate occasions, finishing as the bridesmaid at Mudgee and Wellington, with his second-place effort at Wellington coming behind the Country Championships Final third-placegetter, Amulet Street. Despite an ordinary draw in barrier 13, Bailey Wheeler will likely go back towards the tail of the field and look to wind up late.
