Wrap up the weekend with our Sunday best bets at Wyong, highlighting the key runners to help you find an edge!
MY COUNTRY BOY (2) just needs to find some early cover from wider out to go on with the job.
The son to So You Think prevailed narrowly over the same track and trip last start to finally win his maiden, and after copping some interference down the straight, you could argue he should have won by more.
Improving with each run and carrying 1kg less on Sunday, he looks hard to beat.

STAKEHOLDER (5) is capable of producing a bounce back effort for Tracey Bartley’s team.
The Capitalist four-year-old was sent around in a tougher race at Rosehill second-up, where he landed up on the speed and was entitled to weaken in the finish, settling for fifth in the end.
He won his maiden fresh over the 1200m trip at Kembla Grange the start prior and should benefit greatly from two runs over that distance as he gets out to 1350m on Sunday.

| Third-up today. Resuming came from midfield and won by 0.8 len at Kembla Grange on July 16 over 1200m defeating Written Doll carrying 59kg at $13. Second run from a spell tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 10 at Rosehill on August 1 over 1200m, slow going 7 len behind Gatwick with 54.5kg at $10. Fitter and is right in the mix. | |||
HOVLAND (3) looks one of the better bets on the program with class and confidence on his side.
He was sent around over 1800m at Eagle Farm last start off a decent four-week break, winning by 1.5 lengths after being gifted a peach of a ride back off the speed.
Zac Lloyd hops back in the irons and has plenty of experience on this five-year-old, so there’s everything to suggest the pair will relish getting out over 2000m together.

FLEET FLYER (11) get repeat the dose for Ron Quinton at good each-way odds.
This Zoustar mare resumed a whopping five-length winner over the same track and trip to begin the month, giving nothing else a chance once she found the front and led all the way.
We saw her win comfortably over longer last time in work, so providing she isn’t wanting a step up in trip now, she has to be taken seriously carrying only 2kg extra.
