Country racing continues at Wagga on Friday afternoon with the $200,000 Wagga Gold Cup (2000m) headlining a bumper eight-race program. The rail remains in the true position for back-to-back meetings, and with the forecast promising more sunny skies, the surface should maintain its Good 4 rating. The action is set to get underway at 12:25pm AEST.
Wagga Gold Cup: Cliff House
Cliff House is searching for a hat-trick of wins after giving his rivals a galloping lesson in the Gundagai Cup (1800m) at Wagga on April 8. The Tim Donnelly-trained gelding relished the Heavy 8 conditions, circling his rivals to score a dominant 4.5-length victory. Getting back on top of the ground should be no issue for the son of Starcraft, and although he may be the last one mounting a challenge from the rear of the field, watch for Cliff House to explode when asked for the ultimate effort by Danny Beasley.

Best Bet at Wagga: Joey D’or
Joey D’or broke his maiden in dominant fashion at Orange on April 19 and made every post a winner over the 1010m journey, pounding away to score by two lengths. This will prove a true test of stamina over the 1200m with plenty of speed engaged to his inside; however, leave it in the capable hands of Rachel King to launch across from stall nine, giving Joey D’or every chance to secure back-to-back victories.

Next Best at Wagga: Cruizingdafield
The Scott Collings barn may have picked up a smart one as Cruzingdafield returns after a 652-day spell. The daughter of Deep Field only had two starts for former trainer Mark Newnham, including a gritty win on the Kensington circuit at Randwick last time out. She has since suffered a setback, keeping her away from the races, but based on her trial at Canberra on April 12, Cruizingdafield looks prepared for a first-up assault.

Best Value at Wagga: Mickey’s Medal
Mickey’s Medal was tested in the Listed Canberra Guineas (1400m) on March 10 and never shirked the task despite being outclassed. The gelding by Brave Smash continued to whack away behind the likes of Xidaki and Port Lockroy, managing to finish mid-field 2.5 lengths away. He’s shown plenty of promise for the Annabel Neasham barn, and although barrier 12 is a sticky one for apprentice Angus Villiers to overcome, the each-way odds with online bookmakers make Mickey’s Medal a terrific play in the MTC Guineas (1600m).
