NEXT BEST Race 1 No. 3: Diva Rouge Lightly-raced up and comer from an astute yard. LAY Taree Race 3 No. 7 Khant Fail â– â– â– â– â– INSIDE MAIL - WAGGA RIVERSIDE RACE 1 Pride Of Jezza was a $40,000 Gary Colvin purchase at the 2023 Magic millions Yearling Sale. The son of Pride Of Dubai took his earnings to $38,755 courtesy of a huge win at Wagga on July 7. Drew 12 of 12, was 9th at the turn, yet wins by two and a bit lengths on the Heavy 10. Extra trip is perfect now. Flutterby is a most consistent and reliable mare, evidenced by her record of one win, four seconds and two thirds from nine starts. Runner-up on run on the Heavy. Dantains Prize is fit for her first run beyond 1400m. Bet: Pride Of Jezza to win (best bet) RACE 2 Belnera is an exceedingly well-bred mare by So You Think from the same family as former crack WA filly Covertly. Belnera was fifth in the Listed Dequetteville in Adelaide as a 2YO on debut and went on to place at MV and Caulfield. Runner-up at her first go for Peter Morgan on a Heavy 10 at Wagga and to a handy horse. Impending Imprint sent out some encouraging signs in her July 18 trial at Albury. Donna Scott/Blaike McDougall combo is a winning one! McPhillamy was a bit of a dark horse out of that same trial. Bet: Belnera to win, box trifecta 5,6,8,12 RACE 3 Party Boss is trained at Wagga by Gary Colvin who is known to have a good opinion of this daughter of Farnan out of a US stakes-winning mare by Kentucky Derby winner - Big Brown. So much so that Colvin ran her in the Black Opal and the Preview at the end of the first preparation. Performing Diva was spelled after a creditable second in a reasonably strong Country Maiden at home at Goulburn on Feb 28. Scratched from Forbes on Sunday but is drawn betterat Moruya on Tuesday. Vinari and Rita Red have claims. Bet: Party Boss to win RACE 4 Magic Leprechaun is a very interesting horse in pedigree terms. For one, he is bred on a similar cross, albeit reversed, as Everest favourite, Ka Ying Rising. Both horses were bred in NZ, Magic Leprechaun was born at Ardsley Stud who stood this gelding's maternal grandsire Lord Ballina all his life. As for form, Magic Leprechaun is a last start Heavy 8 winner. The wet won't be any concern for Antisocial who has two wins from three starts on Heavy. Corumbene Stud bred gelding Getty has finished on the podium at exactly half of his 26 starts. Bet: Magic Leprechaun to win, quinella 1,3 RACE 5 Witch Of November has raced seven times for a rather impressive win at Tumut together with two seconds and a third. We should also point out that the Wayne Carroll trained daughter of Starspangledbanner has two seconds and a third from her only three starts on Heavy tracks. Go well. Gulgong gelding Hard To Impress has done more good than bad in his 11 starts, mostly in and around the Central West. He boasts very good form on Heavy tracks too. Stablemate Proofreader was $16 into $14 on debut but won like a $2 fav. Generates interest and respect. Bet: Witch Of November each-way, Daily Double 1st Leg 8, 2nd Leg 11 RACE 6 Salute Again will be out of contention for any more trips to Sydney for a Highway if successful given his tally will rise to four. For the record, Salute Again has contested no less than nine TAB Highways, winning at his first one and placing in two others (often without a lot of luck either). Deepwater Artist was $5 all the way out to $10 on debut at Albury on July 18 but you wouldn't see many more impressive wins than his on the day. Scratched from Forbes on Sunday to contest this. So too was Happy Clapper's close relation, Thoughtful. Bet: Salute Again to win RACE 7 Crazy Atom is a Joe Cleary trained mare closely related to the much loved late 1980s galloper, Groucho. This particular mare has three wins and eight placings from her 26 starts, five of the minors were in fact seconds and one of them was at this same track over the same distance. Getting closer than ever to another win. Bellman has never won in 27 starts on Good tracks and while he is one for one on Firm, it is patently clear that he handles, if not even perhaps prefers Soft and Heavy. Form is good too. Brie Brie and Tropicana's Cube are well in contention.
