Forbes Horse Racing Preview

What Forbes Cup Day 2024
Where Forbes Jockey Club – Racecourse Road, Forbes NSW 2871
When Sunday, August 4, 2024
First Race 12:10pm AEST

Visit Dabble


Country racing heads to the central west region of NSW on Sunday afternoon, with the $50,000 Forbes Cup (1600m) headlining a stacked eight-race program. The rail is in the true position the entire circuit, and with pristine conditions forecast in the lead-up, participants should be racing on a genuine Good 4 surface. The opening race is scheduled to get underway at 12:10pm AEST.

Forbes Cup Tip: All In The Mind

All In The Mind was impressive picking up his first Australian victory at Canterbury on July 24 and appears primed to continue his winning ways. The six-year-old was ridden closer throughout the 1550m journey on that occasion, stalking his rivals before unleashing a blistering turn-of-foot between gallopers to score by a length. The $2 million Big Dance (1600m) on the first Tuesday of November seems like an ideal target for the Bjorn Baker-trained gelding, and this looks like All In The Mind’s perfect opportunity to book his ticket.

Best Bet at Forbes: Miss Jennifer

Miss Jennifer brings strong metro form to this BM82 and looks perfectly placed to pick up her third win of the campaign. The daughter of Sacred Falls was a back-to-back winner to start the preparation but was simply outclassed in her last three appearances as metro company proved a bridge too far for the lightly raced six-year-old. This contest is much weaker on paper, and with Miss Jennifer boasting a Highway Handicap win on the resume, it would come as a shock if she didn’t figure in the finish.

Next Best at Forbes: Bamboula

Bamboula was luckless on debut at Dubbo on July 15 and should’ve finished much closer than the 1.4-length margin may suggest. The late blooming five-year-old was caught wide without cover throughout the 1300m journey, but still showed tremendous fight, charging down the outside running rail under Dylan Stanley. He should take improvement with race-day fitness on his side, and provided Stanley can manage to find cover this time from gate seven, watch for Bamboula to be storming over the top to break his maiden at the second time of asking.
