You’re in the right place for our Friday Racing Tips on September 4th, including Wyong best bets and our 2026 Wyong Gold Cup Tips!
TITANIUM MISS looks the class runner here despite the wide draw, with a strong Wyong record and a handy 2kg claim for Shannen Llewellyn.
LAST DRUID brings excellent recent form and gets Jason Collett from barrier two, while GRINZINGER POD gets the inside draw and a significant weight advantage; SILENCIO PORFAVOR is another capable of featuring.
I’m happy to give Titanium Miss another chance and have her on top.

MATUSALEM brings strong recent form and gets the ideal inside draw with James McDonald, while ELIYASS is the class runner of the field with a rating of 111 and a dominant last start win.
BELLA MONTAGNA gets in with just 54kg from barrier five and looks a genuine threat, with ELLIPTICAL another capable of making his presence felt.
I’m siding with Eliyass to make his class tell in the Wyong Gold Cup.

| Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming ran second last of 15 in the LR Civic Stakes at Randwick on June 20 over 1400m, slow going 12 len behind Midnight Dynamite carrying 60.5kg at $81. Second-up won by a long-neck at Randwick on August 8 over 1800m defeating Matusalem with 59kg at $26. Going well. Got things back on track in a big way last time but does have to lug the big weight. | |||
This looks a very competitive Mona Lisa Stakes, with OH DIAMOND LIL returning as the highest-rated runner and drawing plenty of support in the market.
CIGAR FLICK has the ratings to be a major threat with James McDonald aboard, while JUST GLAMOUROUS brings excellent recent form and gets the ideal barrier one; SNITZEL DANCER and MRS MAREE also deserve plenty of respect.
I’m leaning towards Oh Diamond Lil to make her class tell first-up.

| Mare returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last campaign fourth of 15 at Eagle Farm Nat Clas Fm-Wfa June 6 over 1600m, 1.0 len behind Surfin’ Bird with 57kg at $16. When resuming last campaign ran last of 13 at Hawkesbury in the G3 Hawk Crown May 2 over 1300m, 5.5 len behind Chidiac carrying 58kg at $3.30. Will give a bold sight and take running down. | |||
This is a very open way to round out the Wyong card, with PRINCE OF SORTS bringing consistent recent form and BOLD DESIGN looking well placed from the inside alley.
ICEFORD has solid European form behind him and gets a big weight relief with the 2kg claim, while WEALTHY INVESTOR has finished third at his past two starts and maps for a nice run from barrier four.
Prince Of Sorts gets my preference in a race where several runners have claims.

| Last start rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 8 in a Narromcup Bm84 at Narromine on August 23 over 1600m, slow going 2.75 len behind Shadow Dane carrying 61kg at $4.40. The run before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 9 in a Prov Bm64 at Newcastle on August 13 over 1600m, 4 len behind Fabrice with 61kg at $3.50. Isn’t without his chance. | |||
