The former boom pup returns to racing for the first time in almost two months in the day’s seventh race, the Goulburn To Bulli Sprint Event (457m), aiming for an important win.
Cleanser became the talk of NSW racing and was the subject of six-figure bids when he stormed to a 15-length victory over 520m on debut at Dapto in April.
That superb 29.50 triumph earmarked the sprinter, trainer by Binda’s Garry Williams, as a potential future star.
Things have been problematic since then, though, with Cleanser finishing fifth and sixth in his subsequent two outings at Dapto and Wentworth Park.
He showed signs of leg soreness after that run in Sydney on May 11 and has been off the track ever since.
Cleanser looks back to full fitness now and if fully fit should have enough class to get the money here, although Watta Pixie (box one) has run some decent races over the 457m and looks tempting.
Elsewhere at Goulburn, Anthony Hokin’s Let Me Out can shed his ‘nearly’ status with victory in race three.
The promising newcomer has run three consecutive runnersup placings so far but looks too good for the rest here.
Jodie Lord’s greyhounds are always contenders wherever they race and Ritza Roman looks ideally drawn in box one to win race four over 350m.
My Bella Rose (box four) is in decent form and can pip returning Encosta Deplente in race five over 357m.
Margaret Greer has enjoyed notable success at Goulburn recently and she looks good to score another win with Watta Bargest in race nine.
Greer also has in-form Lasseters Reef jumping in race 10 but the Cheryl Betts-trained Brave Lady (box four) can bounce back from a disappointing last start at Wentworth Park to win here.
Anyone looking for some value at Goulburn should try Big Mistake, jumping from box eight in race four.
She is a rare winner but has run fairly well recently in testing company and has performed well from the middle boxes in her time.
