Country racing heads to Goulburn on Monday afternoon for a competitive seven-race program. The rail is in the true position the entire circuit for the meeting, and with plenty of rain forecast leading into race-day, we expect the course to be a worsening Soft 7 prior to the opening event at 1:15pm AEST.
Best Bet at Goulburn – Gundy Guy
Gundy Guy is trained out of the Todd Smart yard and looks ready for a strong debut performance on Monday. He’s only had one jump-out at Goulburn over the 800m and the son of Capitalist couldn’t have been more impressive. He cruised up to his rivals under a stranglehold for Jordan Mallyon, and if we can take him on trust on that alone, he’s going to be very hard to beat in the opener.
Best Bet
Race 1 – #8 Gundy Guy (10)
3yo Gelding | T: Todd Smart | J: Jordan Mallyon (56.5kg)

Next Best at Goulburn – Whetu
Whetu looks to be ready to win dropping significantly in grade for the first time this preparation. He’s been competitive in BM company in provincial company prior to Monday and wasn’t disgraced in his latest effort at Newcastle on July 25. He got back to near-last on that occasion before powering into third behind Knights Armour and Rollercoaster, the latter of which produced a subsequent win. Whetu should be somewhere mid-field turning for home, and provided Beany Panya can find clear running late, we’d be shocked if he didn’t figure in the finish.

Race 2 – #1 Whetu (6)
6yo Gelding | T: Richard Collett | J: Beany Panya (62.5kg)

Best Value at Goulburn – River Tamar
River Tamar hasn’t set the world on fire in her four career starts to date; however, we think this daughter of Tavistock isn’t far away from a maiden victory. She needed the run first-up after a long spell, finishing fifth 2.7 lengths away from Picko Rocks at Kembla Grange on July 27. She got every chance to make an impression, but this race looks much more manageable, and with soft track conditions looking to suit River Tamar, we’re confident she’s worth an each-way ticket here.
Best Value
Race 5 – #6 River Tamar (13)
4yo Mare | T: John Sargent | J: Danny Beasley (57kg)
