Goulburn Race 7 - Gordon Pub Punters, A Gpg Hotel (Bm58)
PRINCE OF VERONA (8) is the horse with the most upside after winning on debut at Bathurst, where he tracked the lead and picked up sharply on soft ground. He has already shown he handles rain-affected going and he deserves to be treated as the one to beat with the anticipated improvement. BIG OPINION (2) brings the deeper exposed profile, having been close up in a CL3 at Wagga. His effort prior on a heavy deck at Gundagai rates well also and he can put his best foot forward. CIAO BELLA MIA (5) has had excuses her past couple and her prior form stacks up in this field. Wet deck is no issue and she can play a leading role if luck swings her way. CLOUD OF DUST (11) was solid on resumption and drops in weight for this assignment. Maps nicely and can feature in the finish. BATTLE WARRIOR (10) is next best.

Eased back from Saturday company after finishing last in a 3yo+ Class 3 at Randwick, where he began awkwardly, settled rearward and made no impression at big odds. The start prior was also plain in a 3yo+ Benchmark 78 at Rosehill, albeit with some crowding near the 300m. Has to lift sharply.

Comes through a stronger Class 3 at Wagga, where he finished fifth, beaten a length and a half, after sitting behind the leaders and keeping on. His previous fourth at Gundagai on heavy ground was also sound after he was wide approaching the 900m. Racing well without winning and the booking of Heywood is a positive sign.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a fifth in a Class 2 at Canberra, beaten four lengths after beginning awkwardly and racing handy. Two back he came from well back in a Class 1 at Bathurst on heavy ground but was never a winning threat. Wet record is the worry.

Drops back from Benchmark 66 company after finishing second last at Nowra, where she tracked the lead but could not pick up. Her Benchmark 68 run at Kembla Grange two back had more merit, as she was held up from the 400m and steadied before getting home fairly. She's better than she's been able to show recently and a return to her prior form will see her right in the finish.

Has been safely held in both runs this campaign, finishing last at Canberra over 1000m after tracking the speed and coming under pressure. Two back he was second last in a 4yo+ Benchmark 50 at the same venue, beaten over 12 lengths after racing very wide without cover. Others bring stronger current form.

Created a good first impression on debut at Bathurst, winning a Maiden by a long neck from Esquire after tracking the lead, moving up strongly and arriving in time on soft ground. That race experience is valuable for a three-year-old stepping into a Benchmark 58, and he already has a wet-track win on the board. Drawn wider this time but he looks a progressive gelding on the way up.

Made some improvement second-up when fourth at Nowra, beaten just over three lengths after being bumped at the start and settling rearward. His first-up run in a Class 1 at Muswellbrook was much weaker, finishing second last and beaten just over nine lengths. Must find another level.

Was only fair to the line at Nowra last start, finishing sixth after settling just off the lead and looking close enough on the turn. The start prior in a Class 1 at Beaumont was plain, when he finished last and was unwanted in the market. Expecting a better effort this time.

Resumed with a sound third in a 4yo+ Benchmark 50 at Canberra, beaten a length and a half after travelling close enough and working home evenly. She has won at this track and the weight relief is a useful setup factor second-up. Solid return effort and she can build on that performance.

Resumed in a Class 1 at this track and finished sixth, beaten four and a half lengths, after holding her position to the turn but failing to go on. Two back at this venue she led and was only run down late when fifth, beaten just under three lengths. Improvement is required.
