Country racing in Victoria heads to Stawell on Sunday afternoon, where an eight-race meeting awaits punters for Stawell Cup Day. Perfect autumn conditions are forecast for the clubs marquee day, and with the track already a Good 4 and the rail in its true position, there will be no excuses for runners. Stawell Cup Day is scheduled to commence at 1pm AEDT.
Stawell Cup Tip: Toogoodfortoorak
Matt Laurie’s Toogoodfortoorak was narrowly defeated in the Yarra Valley Cup by Suizuro by the barest of margins, and looks primed to go one better in the $70,000 Stawell Cup. Having hit the lead at the top of the straight, the son of Toorak Toff was vulnerable late when pipped on the line. Linda Meech sticks on board, and if the six-year-old repeats his effort that saw him beat Mostly Cloudy and Tycoon Bec in the Wangaratta Cup two starts back, Toogoodfortoorak should have a bit too much class on his side in the Stawell Cup.

Best Bet at Stawell: Keepmeinthelope
Keepmeinthelope has run into a couple of smart ones in both starts this time in, but it will be third times a charm as Ciaron Maher’s gelding lines up over 1300m. The three-year-old chased home subsequent City winner Isthmus before being swamped late by Jackie’s Maid at Echuca. A repeat of those performances should see him break maiden ranks on the fifth time of asking. John Allen will have him stalking the speed throughout, and as long as the pair find clear air at the top of the straight, Keepmeinthelope should prove too hard to hold out.

Race 2 – 
#6 Keepmeinthelope (2)
3yo Gelding | T: Ciaron Maher | J: John Allen (58kg)
+180 with Neds
Next Best at Stawell: Nokhbah
Nokhbah was scratched on Friday night at Cranbourne to be saved for this, and if the five-year-old mare is anywhere near her best, she should prove too slick for her rivals. First-up, she found the 888m at Moonee Valley too sharp, before going stride-for-stride with Epic Centre at the same track when narrowly missing. The I Am Invincible progeny looks to have the speed to land outside the lead upon settling, and third-up from a spell, Nokhbah looks like a great play in the Stawell finale.

#8 Nokhbah (9)
