Albury Gold Cup 2023 Preview
Track: Good Weather: Fine
Open affair. Mankayan looks hard to beat. Set to peak here and brings in the right form. Beltoro was strong winning last start and can go on with things. Riverina Cyclone is a model of consistency and Summerbeel only bumped into one better last start and can give this a shake.
