We have two Listed events on Friday afternoon as the Wyong Race Club hosts its feature raceday. The $240,000 Wyong Gold Cup (2100m) and Mona Lisa Stakes (1350m) headline the stacked 10-race program. The rail is in the true position for the entire circuit, and with some rain predicted on the radar, look for the surface to have a minor downgrade into the Soft 5 range. The first race on Wyong Cup Day is set to get underway at 12:45pm AEST.
Wyong Gold Cup: Bois D’argent
Bois D’argent has been a very consistent type since arriving at the Annabel Neasham yard and shouldn’t be far away from finding his second stakes win in Australia. He took out the Lord Mayor’s Cup at Rosehill on May 20 and has since placed twice in quality affairs. His latest effort was a third-place finish behind Hosier in the Group 3 Premier’s Cup. Bois D’argent gets a nice swing in the weights and a much more likeable barrier than he did on August 19, and we think this son of Toronado can turn the tables from last start.

Mona Lisa Stakes: Olentia
Olentia is a short quote heading into Friday afternoon, and it’s easy to see why. The daughter of Zoustar returned for a stylish win at Rosehill on August 12, dismantling her opposition in BM88 company over 1200m. She couldn’t have been more impressive upon resumption, storming over the top of her rivals, and now stepping up to the 1350m looks ideal. She is dual-accepted for the Group 2 Tramway Stakes at Randwick on Saturday, but if Chris Waller elects to come here, Olentia looks extremely hard to beat.

Best Bet: Razors
Razors should be looking for his third-straight win of the campaign. He was luckless last start at Hawkesbury on August 17, settling for second place after running into trouble when he was closing strongly behind River Snitty. He stays at the 1300m this time and, importantly, gains the services of James McDonald, showing intent from the James Cummings barn. He’ll be closing off well again, and with a bit more luck throughout the journey, look for Razors to storm over the top late.
