Race 1. (14:00) Pacific Fuel Solutions Maiden (1200m)

#2 – Cardiologist @ $3.10

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Punters have been having heart attacks following Cardiologist, but he could finally crack maidens on Monday.

The three-year-old son of Exceed and Excel looked home last time out at Kyneton before getting pipped on the post, but he should get his chance here.

Take the $3.10 odds available, which is a good price.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 2. (14:30) Russ Studio Jewellers Maiden (1000m)

#5 – Fox Man @ $2.20

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Fox Man is a five-time placegetter from seven starts, including finishing second at his last two starts.

The three-year-old son of Rich Enuff has been threatening to win a race throughout his career, and as the betting suggests, this could be his time.

Getting the inside draw only adds to his appeal.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 3. (15:00) Donald Steel Metaland Maiden (1620m)

#13 – Of the View @ $4.40

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Looking to cap off consecutive placings with a win is Of the View, who is good enough to beat the odds-on favourite.

The three-year-old filly by So You Think wasn’t far behind the winner at Swan Hill last start, which should be a good form guide.

We’re happy with the each-way odds from bookmakers.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (15:30) Donald Motor Lodge BM64 (1620m)

#8 – Sevillana @ $4.50

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Sevillana is only a two-time winner from 21 starts, but she has been around the mark with nine placings.

The Symon Wilde-trained mare won her only start at Donald, so having experience winning on the track adds to her appeal.

It’s an even betting field and she’s good enough to settle handy and kick strongly.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (16:00) Goldacres BM64 (1350m)

#3 – Black Storm @ $2.50

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Money has come for Black Storm, who is having his first start in Australia after a successful career in Singapore.

It’s never easy to line up Singapore form, but two wins and five placings from nine starts is good form for racing at Donald.

His jumpouts have been good, and the money has come.

Stake: 3 Units

Race 6. (16:30) Buloke Plumbing BM58 (1200m)

#11 – Pop Quiz @ $20.00

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Punters get value odds for Pop Quiz, who needed the run fresh up at Kyneton, and she’ll only improve on that effort.

The four-year-old daughter of No Nay Never won at Mildura over 1400m to end her last preparation, and something close to that is good enough.

The $20 odds are generous, so include her for value.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (17:00) Bet365 BM64 (1000m)

#6 – Hedonist @ $2.30

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Money is with Hedonist, who got back to solid form with a second placing at Terang last time out.

The three-year-old didn’t fire at Flemington against a tough field, but returning to Monday racing at Donald is a recipe for success.

Drawing well helps, and he should be tough to beat.

Stake: 2.5 Units
