NSW racing heads to the Riverina region on Monday afternoon, with the Murrumbidgee Turf Club set to host a competitive eight-part program. The rail is out +6m between the 1400m marker to the winning post, while the remainder is in the true position the rest of the way around. The track is rated a Heavy 9 at the time of writing, but with minimal rainfall forecast in the lead-up, punters can anticipate an upgrade to the Soft range. The opening event is scheduled to get underway at 12:35pm local time.
Best Bet at Wagga: Bernay
Although Bernay is winless heading into start nine, the Ben Brisbourne-trained mare appears ready to peak fourth-up into the campaign. The daughter of Invincible Spirit has been held back to the 900m at Albury in her last two starts, finding the journey too sharp as she hit the line well to be defeated by a combined 2.7 lengths. Getting back to the 1000m on firming ground should be ideal, and with Josh Richards likely to lob into the one-one from the soft draw (2), watch for Bernay to close off best in the Wagga opener.

Race 1 – 
#6 Bernay (2)

Next Best at Wagga: Alchian
After saluting in two of his last three starts, Alchian looks perfectly placed to add another win to the tally this preparation. The team Hayes-trained four-year-old got the head down where it mattered most in his latest performance on the synthetic surface at Ballarat on July 14 and did the job, lugging 61.5kg to victory. 3kg claiming apprentice Brittany Button takes the reins this time, and with the much-needed relief in the weights strengthening his chances, Alchian should prove hard to hold out in this BM74 contest.

Best Value at Wagga: Lady Redwood
Lady Redwood returns after a 243-day spell and brings an element of quality to this BM82 contest. The 1400m is well and truly short of her best trip based on her two wins coming over staying distances last campaign, but with the drop back to country grade a significant one after contesting metro company, the $71.00 with online bookmakers is simply too big to ignore. She’ll be doing her best work late, and although she might need the run before producing her best, Lady Redwood still warrants an each-way ticket in the Wagga finale.
Best Value
Race 8 – 
#1 Lady Redwood (12)
6yo Mare | T: Paul Murray | J: Olivia Chambers (a1.5) (60.5kg)
