Wily horseman Bede Murray isn't singing in the rain just yet but he couldn't be happier World Wide will encounter a heavy track in Sunday's $30,000 Nowra Cup.

The six-year-old gelding by Murray's former top galloper Universal Prince out of See The Stars, a mare he also trained, is unbeaten on heavy racing surfaces, boasting a four from four record.

Murray is chasing his third Nowra Cup success after Crows Before Dawn in 1995 and Kalahari in 1997.

When World Wide was preparing for his current preparation Murray plotted a course towards the Nowra Cup.

"When I looked at the program I knew he wouldn't be ready for longer races and decided to give him a couple of runs before the Nowra Cup which fitted in perfectly before we planned for something later on down the track," Murray said.

"I'm pretty sure he is peaking at the right time. His work has been good and he's coming along nicely. He's ready for Sunday."

World Wide resumed from a 159-day break with a first up 4.5 lengths fifth to Unanimously over 1200m at Wagga on May 2 then carried 61.5kg when 3.6 lengths ninth to Druid over 1550m at Canterbury on May 15.

The gelding has a fine record of seven wins, 12 placings from 44 starts, earning $409,475.

He is the third foal from See The Stars who is now deceased.

"I finished up buying See The Stars, a horse I trained, at a broodmare sale for just $600 in foal to Kennys Best Pal. She proved a good broodmare," Murray said.

"World Wide was the third foal after Kennys World and Hangover Henry.

"The mare and foal died giving birth to a full-brother to World Wide. It was a very sad day."

Murray said after Sunday, World Wide was likely to tackle a race at Rosehill on June 1 and was also considering the $50,000 South Grafton Cup on July 7.
