Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted November 17, 2023 Journalists Share Posted November 17, 2023 What Taree Cup Day Where Manning Valley Race Club – Racecourse Dr, Taree NSW 2430 When Sunday, November 19, 2023 First Race 1:25pm AEDT Visit Dabble Country racing heads to the Manning Valley Race Club on Sunday afternoon for a competitive eight-race program headlined by the $100,000 Taree Gold Cup (2000m). The rail is in the true position the entire circuit for the meeting, and with only a minor chance of rain forecast to hit the course in the lead-up, we’re expecting a surface in the Good range. The opening race is scheduled for 1:25pm AEDT. Taree Gold Cup: Rogue Bear The leading chances in the market for the Taree Gold Cup are all dual accepted for races at Newcastle on Saturday, so we’ll take a risk and lock in the early price for the Kris Lees-trained Rogue Bear. He’s fourth-up into his second Australian campaign since arriving from the UK and the son of Kodiac is finally starting to find his best. He won at this course first-up before heading to metropolitan grade at Randwick his last two starts and wasn’t disgraced behind the likes of Loch Eagle and Deficit. Rogue Bear’s well-weighted in this Country Cup, and with some key contenders likely to scratch, the +500 seems a fair price. Taree Gold Cup Race 7 – #5 Rogue Bear (6) 5yo Gelding | T: Kris Lees | J: Dylan Gibbons (56kg) +500 with Betfair Best Bet at Taree: Solutionist We were taken with the first-up victory of Solutionist in maiden company, and she looks perfectly placed in this Class 1 affair. The daughter of Written By was a dominant winner by 2.6 lengths at Newcastle on resumption and seemingly had plenty left in the tank. The extra 100m on Sunday shouldn’t hinder her chances, and with a soft run from barrier six, we’d be shocked if Solutionist wasn’t fighting out the finish here. Best Bet Race 5 – #6 Solutionist (6) 3yo Filly | T: Kris Lees | J: Dylan Gibbons (56.5kg) -133.33 with Boombet Next Best at Taree: Cluster’s General After only one barrier trial, the Brett Bellemy barn is happy to send Cluster’s General to the races, and we’re happy to follow their lead. This recently gelded galloper was impressive in his jump-out at Coffs Harbour on November 4, with Matthew McGillvray sitting quietly on the four-year-old before asking for a short sprint. The son of Cluster responded kindly to being urged along, and with this big field likely to have a genuine tempo, Cluster’s General should get the last crack at his rivals. Next Best Race 6 – #2 Cluster’s General (7) 4yo Gelding | T: Brett Bellamy | J: Matthew McGillivray (59kg) +500 with Bet365 Best Value at Taree: Innervoice We’re keen on the chances of Innervoice in the final race of the card as the Lyle Chandler-trained mare heads to Taree second-up. Her profile suggests she’ll only run well here, with a second-up record of four starts for a win and three minor placings to her name. Her first-up effort at Dubbo on November 4 was a promising start to the campaign, and if she can hold that form heading to this BM66 contest, Innervoice will give a bold sight at each-way odds with online bookmakers. Best Value Race 8 – #11 Innervoice (4) 6yo Mare | T: Lyle Chandler | J: Ben Looker (58kg) +1000 with Neds Sunday quaddie for Taree Gold Cup Day 2023 Taree quadrella selections Sunday, November 19, 2023 1-6 1-2-5-7-14 1-4-5 4-5-6-9-11 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip More horse racing tips View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
