The $30,000 Narooma Cup (1300m) headlines a competitive eight-race program at Moruya on Sunday. The rail sits in the true position all the way around, and with the forecast predicting only a minor chance of rain, the track rating is expected to stay in the Good range. The opening race is scheduled to get underway at 1:15pm AEDT.
Narooma Cup Tip: Miss Ostend
Miss Ostend should get conditions to suit after a luckless effort at Canberra on December 8. She drew barrier three but still manage to get cast wide early in the 1200m contest, blunting her regularly dynamic turn of foot. She drops 3.5kg courtesy of apprentice Coriah Keatings’ claim, and with Miss Ostend continuing to prove a model of consistency this preparation, she must be considered a winning hope.

Best Bet at Moruya: Sassen
Sassen heads to the races after one official barrier trial at Hawkesbury on October 16 and looks ready for this first-up assignment. The impressive jump-out was for the Edward O’Rourke stable before being transferred to the Paul Murray barn, but with the new team happy to send her straight to the races, we are willing to take Sassen on trust heading into her debut.

Race 1 – 
#6 Sassen (1)

Next Best at Moruya: Incentive
Newly acquired by the Keith Dryden stable, Incentive cruised to victory first-up at Sapphire Coast on November 27. The son of Capitalist was allowed to stride to the front under James Innes Jnr and gave his rivals no chance of chasing him down. He drops 3kg going up in grade to contest the Narooma Town Plate (1010m) on Sunday, and as the designated leader in this event, Incentive will look to pinch a break when turning for home.
