Wagga Race 7 - Mataranka Park Standardbreds Pace
HEAVENS BADGIRL (1) was successful last start by 1.75 metres in a far better performance at this track over 1740m. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a comparable field so she can add to the strong recent effort. SCOTTIE MACH (9) was successful at his most recent outing by 1.75 metres at this track over 1740m after an encouraging minor placing the start before. Can travel in a nice spot from this draw and wait on the sprint lane if necessary. Leading hope in a similar assignment. MISTER REA (8) is having his first run back from a break of three-and-a-half years. Boasts a record of three wins from four starts when fresh from a spell. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Well-placed to open this prep with a win. FRESH PRINCE (7) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by a head at Albury over 2170m.
