Race-by-race preview and tips for Monday meeting at Wagga (Riverside)
Track Heavy 8 and rail True. Race 1 2. Pride Of Jezza is a locally trained and improving four-year-old who can make it two straight after finally breaking through on the course proper here. Revelled in similar conditions that day, coming from well off the speed, and has been given four weeks between runs. 5. Flutterby is a Victorian mare who hasn't finished further back than second in her last five and swept home to win on soft ground two starts ago before being ridden quieter and charging late behind a dominant winner at Albury 17 days ago. 8. Dantains Prize is bursting to win a race deep into the campaign, and drawn to get a handy trail and getting down to the limit weight. 6. Bomerton has been running home okay behind the placegetters all prep, and gets weight relief here with a new jockey aboard. 1. Mishima was beaten a long way at Kilmore last start, but fit enough, and did win his maiden win on heavy ground at Wodonga two starts ago when backed from $4.20 into $2.80. Extra trip and a 3kg claimer staying aboard are plusses. How to play it: Pride Of Jezza to win Race 2 6. Impending Imprint, by Impending out of a Hinchinbrook mare, makes her debut in suitable conditions for the leading Donna Scott stable at Albury. Won the second of two trials when sailing down the middle from last, leading country jockey is on, and she's drawn to get the right cover early. 5. Belnera is in the mix despite a wide draw after leading for a long way here first-up behind a very handy winner, and bred to thrive in rain-affected going. 3. Quick Spell has shown steady improvement in four runs this prep. Blinkers come off, but has to overcome a tricky draw and a jump in weight. 2. Lover Man is a betting watch on debut with gear additions for the Ron Stubbs stable after blowing the jump in an Albury trial. 7. Lack Of Restraint crossing the border third-up, and 11. Wild Annie well into the campaign can both figure in the minor money. How to play it: Impending Imprint to win Race 3 3. Performing Diva is a progressive and lightly raced mare resuming with no public trials. Showed more than enough at her second start when hitting the line late at Goulburn, and has reportedly been working well for some time. 1. Forte Cheval, a first starter by Strasbourg from the same yard as the previous on top selection, is a big market watch. Has had two trials, the latest sitting wide and matching it with unbeaten Cambar before wilting late. 5. Rita Red has been in the money in two runs back from a lengthy break, and in-form jockey sticks solid. Big watch on home-tracker 7. Party Boss resuming with no official trials, but did make the group 3 Black Opal field as a two-year-old. 4. Vinari improves at her second start on a bigger track. How to play it: Performing Diva to win Race 4 1. Antisocial is a capable Victorian mare who can bounce back third-up in suitable ground and take her winning strike rate to near 25 per cent. She charged home to win on the course proper here for a dominant win on a bog track before having a torrid and wide run in deeper grade at Corowa. Drawn to get cover, and has won two from three in heavy going. 2. Getty boxed on okay from a low draw first-up in a handy class 3. Less depth here and handles the going. 3. Magic Leprechaun pulled off a nice betting move when resuming in heavy ground at Albury, charging home from last in a class 1. This isn't much tougher, and he's lightly raced for a six-year-old. Be surprised if the winner comes outside those three, but 6. King Charles is back sharply in trip and dropping in grade, and 9. Winehouse is fourth-up with blinkers added and trained on the track; add value into trifecta and first four plays. How to play it: Antisocial to win
