The $200,000 Wagga Gold Cup (2000m) headlines proceedings on another cracking country racing program at the Murrumbidgee Turf Club this Friday. With pristine conditions forecast in Wagga Wagga this week, punters can expect a genuine Good 4 circuit for Day 2 of the carnival. The rail remains in the true position, with racing on Wagga Gold Cup Day scheduled to get underway at 12:45pm local time.
Wagga Gold Cup Tip: Medatsu
The Chris Waller-trained Medatsu closed off impressively in the Listed Albury Cup (2000m) on April 17 and was one of the better runs in defeat. The son of Staphanos got too far back from barrier 12, and with the track playing up-and-in throughout the day, it was tough to make inroads from the rear of the field. There appears to be genuine speed engaged in the 2025 Wagga Gold Cup, so expect Medatsu to be flashing down the centre of the course at a good each-way price with horse racing bookmakers.

Best Bet at Wagga: Me Me
Me Me caught the eye when returning from a 161-day spell at Kembla Grange on April 15, narrowly denied by Oui Oui Oui in the shadows of the post. The pair cleared out comfortably, with a 3.3-length margin back to third, suggesting punters can follow both with confidence moving forward. This maiden contest is no exception, and although Tyler Schiller will need to overcome the awkward draw (13), expect Me Me to prove too classy for country company.

Next Best at Wagga: Fear No Evil
Fear No Evil was denied a hat-trick of wins by Movin Out at Mornington on April 19 but never shirked the task behind the Group 1-placed filly. The son of Russian Revolution attempted to make every post a winner and was simply outclassed in the end, with the three-year-old looking better placed in this BM74 contest. Expect Jett Stanley to adopt similar tactics and lead from stall eight, and provided the pair can land a soft sectional in the middle stages, Fear No Evil should give a big kick and return to winning ways.
