The $250,000 Listed Wyong Cup (2100m) headlines proceedings on the quickfire seven-race program out of Wyong on Friday afternoon. Supported by the Group 3 Mona Lisa Stakes (1350m), participants are set to be greeted by perfect conditions above and should be racing on a Good 4 track. The rail will be in its true position the entire circuit, with Wyong Cup Day 2025 set to commence at 12:50pm AEST.
Wyong Cup Tip: Saltcoats
Saltcoats maps to get the gun run from barrier three, stalking likely leaders such as Travolta and Salt Lake City before producing late under James McDonald. The Chris Waller-trained gelding has built an admirable staying profile this prep and drops to a very workable 56kg for this drop-back in trip around the tight-turning Wyong 2100m. He’s rock-hard fit, handles soft ground, and his tactical speed is a big plus at this circuit.

Mona Lisa Stakes Tip: Molly Bloom
Class usually tells in the Group 3 Mona Lisa, and Molly Bloom brings plenty of it. She returns off two soft trials and a strong Group-level résumé, including a Group 3 placing over 1400m last season. Under set weights + penalties she gives weight (60.5kg) but draws kindly in seven for Nash Rawiller to settle midfield with cover and build momentum from the 600m. She handles soft ground, has the engine to sprint off a steady tempo at 1350m, and profiles to improve sharply back to mares’ grade fresh from a spell.

Best Bet at Wyong: Napoleonic
Napoleonic looks ready to win first-up from a six-month spell. The John O’Shea & Tom Charlton-trained colt has shown ability in limited runs (2:0-1-0) and put the writing on the wall with a sharp Hawkesbury 1000m trial win on August 25. From gate five, James McDonald can have him stalking the speed set by Andale Andale and Don’t Tell Polly before exposing on the bend—a pattern that suits Wyong’s 1200m. He maps to control his own luck, gets a soft track he’s already handled, and has clearly been set up to break through fresh.
