The Swan Hill Cup will headline the final day of the June Carnival, with a massive nine-race card set down for decision this Sunday afternoon. Although the Swan Hill track is rated as a Soft 5 on Friday, there is no rain forecast for the weekend, so it is expected that the meeting will take place on a Good surface. The rail will remain in its true position, with the opening race on Swan Hill Cup Day scheduled to jump at 11:40am AEST. Here are our free Swan Hill tips for June 9.
Swan Hill Cup tip: Munhamek
As mentioned in The Follow Files earlier this week, Munhamek was very unlucky, recording a fifth-place finish at Caulfield last Saturday as the Nick Ryan-trained gelding was held up for most of the home straight. Given that this son of Dark Angel is on a seven-day backup, staying at 1600m, and finds a slightly weaker race, he looks to have found the right race to finally break his run of outs. From barrier five, Jamie Mott can settle midfield off the fence, and if he gets clear air with 300m to go, Munhamek will prove very hard to hold out.

Best Bet at Swan Hill: Dashing Duchess
Dashing Duchess was very good when the Symon Wilde-trained mare competed at Listed level in the Andrew Ramsden at Flemington last start. The four-year-old mare settled outside the leader, and battled on strongly to finish seventh over 2800m. Out of Tavistock, Dashing Duchess will appreciate a drop in grade and distance as she reaches peak fitness third-up for this preparation. Dean Yendall should be able to lead, and if Dashing Duchess can get a cheap sectional mid-race, she will give her rivals something to chase late.

#9 Dashing Duchess (4)

Next Best at Swan Hill: Jewel Bay
Following back-to-back runner-up finishes in metropolitan grade, Jewel Bay from the Ben, Will & JD Hayes stable will drop back to country level third-up, where he looks to be very well placed. The son of Cable Bay looked to have the race within his keeping last start at Sandown before he was out bobbed on the line by Kiko and lost by a narrow margin. If Jye McNeil can settle outside the leader or in the one-one position from barrier 10, Jewel Bay’s class should shine through and earn himself a deserving win.
