Key Comments
The feature race is the $70,000 Stawell Gold Cup over 2000m (race 7). The rail is true. The best bet kicks off the day and is well placed in what is a suitable field.
Best Bet
Star Testymony ( Stawell Race 1 No. 6 )
Looks well placed from barrier 2 and the stable are having a strong season so far. Gordon steers and will be tough to beat off the back of a lovely first up run.

Keepmeinthelope ( Stawell Race 2 No. 6 )
Has been around the mark this prep and ready to breakthrough. Allen steers, the race looks one for the taking and should be afforded every hope from barrier 2.
Best Lay
Star Testymony ( Stawell Race 4 No. 3 )
Had a good run and win last start. Up in weight is a query and plenty of speed might make things tough.

Key Comments Quality day of racing with a 10 race card. The best bet is looking for four straight and will be a popular elect with punters.
