Wagga Race 4 - Atworthy Park 3Yo Pace
IDEAL BANDIT (7) was ultra-impressive at his latest appearance over 1609m at Cranbourne, scoring comfortably by 12 metres after taking control of the race a fair way from home. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. PUKUNUI BEACH (6) won at Cambridge Raceway two runs ago but couldn't repeat the dose at his latest appearance over 2200m at Cambridge Raceway, beaten 4 metres. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to play a significant role. HAPPY TOO YA (4) deserves consideration after his last-start fifth when resuming over 2170m at Albury a week-and-a-half ago. BAYRIDGE TOMMY (1) was in the money two starts ago then things went wrong last start when he broke and finished a distant seventh over 1740m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a similar line up so if he behaves a big run is likely. Something for the Multiples: PUKUNUI BEACH NZ (6)

Last start was well beaten after breaking at this track on July 25. At the run before solid effort when 3rd (Sr1) over 1740m at this track beaten 25 m by Think Christi (2:05.70) in MAIDEN on July 11 at $14. Sure to be thereabouts.

Last start 5th (Fr3) over 1740m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 14 m by McWizard (2:06.20) in 3yo NR up to 55 on August 1 at $8.50.

Hard to have on those efforts.

Resumed when beaten 6 m fifth after showing some early pace, behind Fresh Prince at Albury over 2170m in a NR up to 50 on July 29. Will come on from that run and is a strong winning hope.

Failed to impress last start; 10th (Sr4) over 2147m at Leeton beaten 85 m by Heavens Badgirl (2:39.70) in NR up to 50 on July 8 at $7.50. Showed ability the race before when she posted a big 3.5 m win as favourite (Fr6) at Young (2:40.10) beating Jessie Lee in NR up to 52 on July 1 at $1.95 at the bell was leading 4.6. Better than the last effort suggest.

Last start game effort when 2nd (Fr2) over 2200m at Cambridge Raceway, beaten 4 m by Won And Only (2:41.60) in 3yo+ on June 19 at $3.70. Two runs back won by 1.4 m as favourite (Fr3) at Cambridge Raceway (2:48.10) beating Rhinestone in 3yo+ on June 5 at $1.60. Rates highly. Capable of taking this out.

Last start was well back in the run when 7th (Fr8) over 1740m at this track beaten 7 m by Fear The Pain (2:04.10) in NR up to 52 on July 25 at $15. Two runs back 2nd (Fr5) over 1740m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 1.4 m by Fear The Pain (2:05.00) in NR up to 58 M on July 18 at $4.60. This looks a far sterner test.
