Sunshine Coast Racing Tips 22 March — can Kendrick own the card?
Goulburn Racing Tips 22 March — can Latham own it again?
K S Latham doesn’t need a big stage to make a card feel predictable — he just needs Goulburn. From 21 rides here he’s knocked in nine winners and hit the frame 12 times, which is a proper edge (not a one-meeting spike). With only three races on the program, that matters even more: you don’t have many chances to get ahead of the market, so you lean hard into the few repeatable truths you can trust.
That’s the spine of today’s Goulburn racing tips: ride the rider, respect the stables that consistently place runners here, and treat most “course records” for horses as what they are — single data points. We’re on turf, and the races themselves are maiden-heavy, which usually means tempo and positioning decide as much as raw ability. I’ll give you a clear top in each, one danger worth fearing, and what I’d actually do with the bet.
Goulburn — the setup
Limited course form across today’s fields — most runners have one (or zero) prior starts here, so I’m not turning that into a thesis. The reliable angle is in the saddle and the stables: a couple of riders and trainers repeatedly get horses to travel and relax around this track.
We also don’t have live odds available for these races from the bookmakers feed at time of writing, so this is a pure form-and-shape piece rather than a price-shopping exercise.

| Nick Heywood | 11 | 2 | 6 | 18.18% | 54.55% |
On the trainer side, Scott Collings is the one with genuine volume and strike: 13 runners here for five wins and eight placings (that’s a stable you respect at this venue). Matthew Dale has had 10 runners here for three placings but no winner — not a knock on ability today, but it stops me leaning on “stable at track” as the reason to bet his horses.
Race-by-race — Goulburn predictions
Race 1: Icu Security Cameras Country Boosted Showcase Mdn Hcp — 12:43, 1203m
The race reads like it should fall into the lap of Stern Reminder (gate 7, 59.5kg, Nick Heywood) because he’s the one who’s already shown he belongs: his form line is 3-2, and that’s the profile I want in a 1203m maiden handicap — proven competitiveness, not hope. Over the last 90 days he’s had one run for a placing, so he’s arriving in form rather than resuming off a flat patch.
The knock is the handicap: he’s giving weight away, and if this turns into a sprint-home where the lightweights get cheap sectionals, you can get rolled. But the Dale stable has stacked this race with three runners, and Stern Reminder is clearly the one they’ve already got firing.
The danger is Brutal Belle (barrier 1, 55.0kg, Jean Van Overmeire). She’s been around the mark for a while (22275-) and the map looks kinder than it has for her in ages: inside draw, manageable weight, and a trip where you can hold a spot instead of being forced to loop. Luke Pepper also places six out of every ten runners he brings to Goulburn (10 runners, six placings), which makes her hard to dismiss if she lands in the first four running.
Play: Win bet Stern Reminder. Saver quinella with Brutal Belle if you want insurance against the weight swing.
Race 2: Kirks Bridge Farm Showcase Mdn Plate — 13:15, 1640m
This is the kind of maiden where you can overthink yourself into a losing bet, so I’m taking the simplest angle: who gets the best run from the draw over a mile and has already hinted there’s upside? Amarillo Sky (barrier 1, 58.5kg, Adam Farragher) ticks that. The inside gate at 1640m often decides who saves ground and who spends it, and his form (8-5) says he’s already taking a step forward.
There’s a clear alternative profile in Angel City (barrier 4, 56.5kg, Pierre Boudvillain): she’s been consistently involved without getting it done (20-335), and she gets the rider I most want in these races. Boudvillain wins a third of his rides at Goulburn and hits the frame 60% of the time — that’s a meaningful sample (15 rides). If this becomes a sit-and-sprint from the 600m, I want him on the horse that can hold a position and quicken.
The small course stat worth mentioning: Astound Beauty has placed on her only start at Goulburn, and she’s the one that can jump out at odds and make you feel silly if she gets the right trail again.
Play: Each-way Angel City (I’m paying for the jockey edge), with a saver win bet Amarillo Sky because barrier 1 over the mile is the kind of “quiet advantage” that wins these.

Race 3: Jcf Contracting Super Showcase Mdn Hcp — 13:50, 1422m
If you want a race to bet properly today, it’s this one — because the form lines actually point somewhere. Zamazing (barrier 1, 57.5kg, Olivia Chambers) has the right set-up to finally convert: he’s been 34-622 and gets every possible favour from the inside draw. Over the last 90 days he’s gone around three times for two placings, so he isn’t guessing — he’s knocking loudly.
The key is how straightforward he should be to ride. From gate 1 Chambers can either hold the fence in the first half or use it to be positive without burning petrol. And while Chambers’ Goulburn record is only five rides deep, she’s still managed to win one and place twice — competent around this circuit.
The danger is Auditory (barrier 11, 59.5kg, K S Latham). The wide draw is a proper problem at 1422m because you can get stranded; but Latham’s record at Goulburn is the strongest single piece of evidence on the entire meeting. Auditory’s form (5-33) says he’s ready, too: two runs in the last 90 days for two placings. If Latham finds cover early, he can absolutely win it.
For the wider exotics-minded: Baqueira (gate 9) has only had the one run in the last 90 days but did place, and the Ryan/Alexiou stable has a tidy record here (two runners, one winner — again, that’s a data point, not a trend).
Play: Win bet Zamazing. Exacta box with Auditory. If the parade ring says Auditory is going to roll forward despite the draw, I’d flip the staking and make it a two-horse dutch.
The plays
NAP: Zamazing (Race 3, 13:50). The inside gate over 1422m plus the 622 finish pattern is the sort of “ready to win” profile you don’t overcomplicate on a small card.
Value: Angel City (Race 2, 13:15) each-way. The market often punishes the horse that’s had plenty of chances, but Pierre Boudvillain at Goulburn is a real edge — he wins a third of his rides here and runs a place in three out of five.
Banker for multis: Stern Reminder (Race 1, 12:43) top 2 / place. The 3-2 form line is the one piece of reliability in a 1200m maiden handicap.
Each-way anchor: Auditory (Race 3, 13:50) if you’re getting a price because of barrier 11. Latham’s Goulburn record is strong enough to pay for the draw risk.
Course angle to keep: when Latham has a live chance at Goulburn, you treat the map like it’s solvable — because he solves it more often than most. Next time he lands on a well-drawn favourite here, the “maybe” disappears.

Where can I find the best odds for Goulburn races?
Best approach is to compare prices across the major corporates and exchanges close to jump time. The live odds feed wasn’t available for this meeting at time of writing, so treat any early quote as provisional and re-check near race time via your preferred bookmaker’s site/app.
Is there any meaningful horse “track specialist” angle today?
Not really — most horses have little or no Goulburn history. The few that do include Astound Beauty, who placed on her only start here, and Milchel, who has one run here for a midfield finish. Useful context, but not enough to build a bet around.
