Horse Racing Tips for Gosford 28/8/26

Shayne Montgomery heads to Gosford for Friday racing with a selection in all eight races and two runners carrying his highest confidence.

His strongest plays arrive back-to-back through the middle of the program, giving punters a clear focus in Races 3 and 4.

Temptation in Race 3 is Shayne's first highest-stake selection and is currently a strong $1.75 favourite, before Crash Bang Wallop carries the same confidence into Race 4 at a much more attractive $5.00.

That gives Shayne two very different betting propositions among his strongest plays.

The remainder of the card is tightly grouped in the market, with all six standard-stake selections currently between $2.40 and $4.20.

It gives Shayne a consistent book across the meeting, with the standout value coming from one of his highest-confidence runners.
