Racing in the Riverina area heads to Wagga on Monday afternoon, where a quickfire seven-race meeting is set down for decision. With showers forecast on Sunday, the Soft 7 rating at the time of acceptances is unlikely to improve, but with clear skies on the agenda come Monday, we shouldn’t be racing on a bottomless track either. The rail sticks in its true position, with action commencing at 1:40pm AEST.
Best Bet at Wagga: Gundy Guy
The Todd Smart-trained Gundy Guy is stepping back from Highway company, where he was far from disgraced when finishing midfield at Randwick on August 10. The four-year-old gelding was returning off a 19-week spell, and considering he is already a winner when second-up in his career, is sure to derive great benefit upon his return to Wagga. He is undefeated through two starts at this track and drawn in barrier three, will be in a prominent position to strike over the 1200m. As long as he can carry the 61.5kg on a testing surface, Gundy Guy should prove too good for his rivals.
Best Bet
Race 6 – 
#2 Gundy Guy (3)
4yo Gelding | T: Todd Smart | J: Billy Owen (61.5kg)

Next Best at Wagga: Lost Ya Sock
Doug Gorrel’s Lost Ya Sock has returned in fine fashion this time in, most notably when finishing second at the Wagga 1400m on August 11. The three-year-old filly returns to the track and trip on Monday in a bid to go one better as she looks to break through for her maiden success. With speed drawn to her outside, Hannah Williams should gain a cart across the field and land a stalking position in the moving line. From there, Lost Ya Sock will have a sit on some potentially vulnerable leaders, where she should prove too hard to hold out.

Race 1 – 
#9 Lost Ya Sock (8)
3yo Filly | T: Doug Gorrel | J: Hannah Williams (a0) (55kg)

Best Value at Wagga: Rossellini
Despite being a maiden stepping out in Class 1 company, the Joseph Ible-trained Rossellini presents great each-way value with horse racing bookmakers. Having finished second at her last two starts, the National Defense filly has her hoof on the till and from barrier two draws to gain every favour in running. With this being her fourth start of her career, she should be reaching peak fitness, and with an economical run in transit on the heels of the leaders, Rossellini will look to pinch it on the rail.
Best Value
Race 4 – 
#11 Rossellini (2)
4yo Mare | T: Joseph Ible | J: Louise Day (55kg)
