Greg Polson previews Goulburn Monday August 14

Greg Polson - Monday August 14

Mitchell Bell with three strong winning chances is the jockey to follow for a profitable day at Goulburn on Monday.

Bell's winning strike rate for the 2016-17 racing season of 13 percent was only average but he is a jockey that gets the job done when he is on winning chances.

His last 13 rides on favourites at country tracks have yielded five winners so no concerns when we see Bell on a genuine chance.

Bell kicks the day off riding Chief Kidder for Mark de Montfort in the Like Us On Facebook – Goulburn District racing Maiden Handicap (1500m).

Chief Kidder is an improving gelding ready to peak at his third run back from a spell stepping up in distance after finishing on the placegetters heels over 1300m at Goulburn last start.

The Joe-Pride-trained Our Barty will appreciate a drop in grade in the Goulburn Market Place Maiden Plate (1300m).

Our Barty has finished runner-up at Hawkesbury and Beaumont at his latest two outings and is the horse to beat back to a country maiden.

Carluca from the Jarrod Austin stable at Warwick Farm puts an unbeaten record over the 1400m at Goulburn on the line in the Follow Us On Twitter @Goulburnraces Benchmark 65 Handicap.

Carluca finished less than a length from the winner when fourth at Kembla two runs back before a total forget run at Moruya last start when he blew the starts by four-lengths and was never in the race.

Carluca just needs even luck in running on Monday to be right in the finish.

Bell's remaining rides at Goulburn are Only In Red for Tash Burleigh in the Best Western Goulburn Benchmark 55 Handicap (1600m) and Carluca's stablemate Manhattan Chic in the Hibernian Hotel Class 2 Handicap (1200m).
