Wagga Race 5 - Benstud Standardbreds Pace

SPIRIT OF SAHARA (6) finished second last start over 1690m at Shepparton, beaten a nose, after scoring at the previous appearance over 2270m at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. OHOKA NICO (7) turned in a poor effort by his standards last start when 11 metres away in seventh over 1740m at this track. Form prior to that had been solid. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Big chance if he brings his A-game. IM ALRITE (2) was in the money two starts ago then things went wrong last start when he copped a check, broke, and finished 35 metres away in ninth over 1740m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this far more favourable starting position. Won't find this any harder and he can bounce back. SUNSET STRIDE (4) showed pleasing improvement last time out when third over 1690m at Shepparton. Something for the Multiples: OHOKA NICO NZ (7)

Didn't do much last start, 8th (Fr2) over 1740m at this track, beaten 14 m by Ohoka Nico (2:05.60) in NR up to 55 on July 18 at $41. Before that 10th (Fr3) over 1758m after showing early speed at Leeton beaten 24 m by Smokin Pocket (2:09.70) in NR up to 55 on July 8 at $7.50. This looks too tough.

Last start was well beaten into ninth after showing early speed, behind Treacherous Belle at this track over 1740m in a NR up to 58 on August 1 at $23. Raced better the start before that with a good run when 3rd (Sr1) over 1740m at this track, beaten 11 m by Nugget Rogers (2:08.20) in NR up to 57 on July 25 at $19. Rates highly. Winning claims.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing seventh after showing early speed, behind Look Like Diamonds at Melton over 1720m in a NR up to 79 M on July 26 at $23. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Day Two at Shepparton over 1690m in a NR 59 to 68 on July 29 at $6.50. Hard to beat.

Two back was well beaten into tenth after showing early speed, behind Our Rebel Yell at this track over 1740m in a 4yo+ NR up to 62 on July 25 at $5. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second behind Treacherous Belle at this track over 1740m in a NR up to 58 on August 1 at $8. Should be there at the business end.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr7) over 1740m after racing wide at this track, beaten 11 m by Our Rebel Yell (2:02.00) in 4yo+ NR up to 62 on July 25 at $6. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 2 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr5) at this track (2:05.60) beating Our Rebel Yell in NR up to 55 on July 18 at $1.85. Better than last start and deserves another chance.

Mixing form recently. Last start was was driven from back in the field when 3rd (Fr8) over 1740m at this track beaten 3 m by Treacherous Belle (2:03.40) in NR up to 58 on August 1 at $19. Before that beaten 25 metres, tenth at Menangle over 1609m NR up to 80 on July 5. Not as keen on his chances in this line-up.
