Towac Park Racecourse is the destination for NSW racing on Friday afternoon, with a massive eight-part program lined up for Orange Gold Cup Day. The $75,000 feature has Big Dance (1600m) eligibility up for grabs, and with some star stables making the trip to the Central Tablelands region, it’s sure to be a cracking days racing.
The rail moves out +3.5m the entire circuit, and with pristine conditions forecast leading into race-day, participants can expect to be racing on a genuine Good 4 surface. Orange Gold Cup Day is set to commence at 12:35pm local time.
Orange Gold Cup Tip: Campaldino
Campaldino appears perfectly placed third-up, with the Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained gelding set to peak stepping out to the 2100m in the Orange Gold Cup. He was only shaded by I Am Empire in his latest start on the Kensington circuit at Randwick on March 26, with the four-year-old fighting off the canvas to make it a grandstand finish. Back to country grade should be a terrific opportunity for Campaldino to make a return to the winners’ enclosure, and with Winona Costin likely to dictate from barrier nine, expect the pair to justify the short price with horse racing bookmakers.

Best Bet at Orange: Pleasurize
The Luke Pepper-trained Pleasurize goes in search of a hat-trick in this BM58 contest and looks well placed to keep her winning streak intact. She was a sitting duck last start at Goulburn on March 23, but showed plenty of fight in the concluding stages to hold a half-length margin to Teylu who appeared to be finishing best. Expect Claire Ramsbotham to send Pleasurize to the top from the outset, and provided she can peak again third-up, She’ll prove hard to chase down once again.
Best Bet
Race 3 – #4 Pleasurize (3)
3yo Filly | T: Luke Pepper | J: Claire Ramsbotham (a2kg) (60.5kg)
Next Best at Orange: Jolly Good Fellow
Jolly Good Fellow was far from disgraced first-up at Warwick Farm on April 2, with the son of Zousain sticking to within three lengths of the ultra-impressive Engine Room. Stepping back to country company second-up should be ideal, and the three-year-old should take dramatic improvement into this second-up assignment. Mitch Stapleford will look to offset the wide draw and lead them up from barrier 10, and with an element of class compared to some key rivals, Jolly Good Fellow should finally shirk the maiden tag at start eight.

#1 Jolly Good Fellow (10)
