The Listed Mona Lisa Stakes (1350m) is the headline act at Wyong on Sunday afternoon, supported by a strong eight-race program. The $200,000 feature is for the fillies & mares, with a quality field of 12 set to line up. The rail is out +3m for the meeting, and with the official start of spring providing plenty of sunny skies in the lead-up, punters should be assured a genuine Good 4 surface. The opening event is scheduled to get underway at 12:55pm local time.
Mona Lisa Stakes Tip: Tulsi
New Zealand import Tulsi did enough on her Australian debut for the Matthew Dale barn to suggest she’s worth following second-up into the campaign. The daughter of The Autumn Sun was rattling home over an unsuitable journey first-up at Randwick on August 10, closing within a head of Cosy Corner in BM78 company. Her form across the ditch suggests she will take dramatic improvement as she steps out in trip, and although Regan Bayliss will have to do some work to find cover from barrier 14, Tulsi should be making big strides at an each-way price with horse racing bookmakers in the 2024 Mona Lisa Stakes.

Best Bet at Wyong: Excelindeed
Excelindeed returns after a 198-day spell and looks ready to fire after two eye-catching barrier trials. His latest piece of work at Randwick on August 19 was particularly impressive, with the three-year-old eased down through the wire to score by 4.8 lengths. His boast two minor placings as a two-year-old heading into this event, and with many of these dual accepted to go elsewhere, Excelindeed appears to have the class to account for this lot despite his lengthy absence.

Next Best at Wyong: After Match
After Match was only narrowly claimed in the shadows of the post at Hawkesbury on August 13 and is unfortunate not to be staring down the barrel of a hat-trick of wins. The son of Zoustar appeared to have them covered with 200m left to travel but was swallowed up by Weeping Woman as the lightly raced three-year-old appeared to be discourage by the use of the whip. A step back to the 1000m should be ideal, and if the fence is the place to be at Wyong throughout the afternoon, punters can be confident After Match can cling to victory this time around.
