Racing in Victoria heads to Warrnambool on Sunday afternoon, where a nine-race meeting is scheduled. The $304,000 Jericho Cup (4600m) takes top billing, and with plenty of rain set to fall on Saturday and Sunday, the track is likely to be in the Heavy range come raceday. The rail sticks to the true position the entire circuit, with the opening race set to commence at 12:35pm AEDT. Here are our free Warrnambool tips for December 1, 2024.
Jericho Cup Tip: Queen Takes King
Queen Takes King put 6.5 lengths on her rivals in a similar race at Moonee Valley on November 11, and despite needing to lug 70kg, she is the one to beat in the 2024 Jericho Cup. The eight-year-old mare moved through her gears nicely when stepping up to 3800m for the first time and showed no signs of slowing down, which suggests the extra 800m should not be an issue. She only goes up 1.5kg off that run and with a cosy run in transit expected from barrier two, Queen Takes King will take some beating barring any bad luck.

Best Bet at Warrnambool: Major Share
First-up from a spell, the Adam Chambers-trained Major Share looks incredibly hard to go past in the second leg of the quaddie. The four-year-old gelding is undefeated through two fresh runs, and with two wins and a second from three starts on wet tracks, he should have no issue handling conditions on Sunday. Tom Madden will have settled outside the lead with a bit of luck, and when asked for the ultimate effort, Major Share should put his rivals away early in the home straight.

Next Best at Warrnambool: El James
El James has been nothing short of impressive to begin his career and looks to build on an already strong record. He debuted three runs back when running on strongly to finish second at this track over 1400m and then has backed it up with wins at 1700m and 2000m. He stays at 2000m on Sunday, and as long as the son of Wrote handles the potentially rain-affected track, El James looks to be the horse with most upside in this BM64. The $3 on offer with BlondeBet (Blondebet review) looks like a great price.
