The $200,000 Goulburn Cup (1400m) headlines the competitive eight-race meeting at the Goulburn Race Club on Sunday afternoon. Following a stack of rain, the track has come up a Heavy 10 for the club’s marquee raceday, whilst the rail will be in its true position the entire circuit. The opening event is set to jump at 12:20pm AEST.

Goulburn Cup Tip: Wootton Verni

Wootton Verni looks the right replacement. He’s a lightly raced Waller import with Group form in France and a strong wet profile (Heavy: 1:1-0-0), and he’s been tuned with a sharp Randwick trial on Heavy 9 this month before a tick-over synthetic hit-out. From barrier four, Kerrin McEvoy can park just off the speed and blend into the three-wide line if the inside chops up on the Heavy 10. With 58kg under handicap conditions, his class and late strength at 1400m should carry him a long way.

Best Bet at Goulburn: Above The Law

Loved the way Above The Law attacked the line on debut when runner-up on a Heavy 10 at Kembla Grange, and the Waterhouse & Bott polish usually sees them bounce second-up. He draws to stalk the speed and Adam Hyeronimus can slide off heels and build momentum from the 500m on the bend. With race fitness, a proven handle on heavy ground, and a set-up to control his own luck, this Super Maiden looks an ideal kill before he heads to town.

Next Best at Goulburn: Dubai Centre

The old boy Dubai Centre is flying, and his wet-track stats are elite. Topweight is never ideal, but Dubai Centre offsets that with a bulletproof pattern: rolls handy, sustains a strong gallop, and keeps lifting when others paddle. The 1600m is his sweet spot, and he draws to be in the first four without burning petrol. If the fence is still okay by the last, he’ll be there a long way; if they’re edging wider, he can slide off and stay balanced. On a day where wet feet win races, his profile is tailor-made.
