Wagga Race 8 - Campbells Comments Pace
ITZBUDDHA (5) resumes after great success last prep, winning on two occasions and culminating in a seventh over 1980m at Addington on December 6. Sure to be ready to run well. CLASSY OPERATOR (2) ran twelfth last start at Melton over 1720m, beaten 25 metres. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. DIAMOND ECLIPSE (9) has been hard to fault of late, adding to the winning tally last start with success over 1740m at this track. No reason the run cannot continue. JUST ROLLYOUROWN (3) finished eighth last start at Listed level in a race won by Jilliby Fabio over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 11 metres. Drawn well so a return to form will not surprise.

Backs up three days after he failed to impress 5th (Fr4) over 1690m at Shepparton beaten 5 m by Keayang Omar (2:02.90) in NR 50 to 55 on August 5 at $23. Before that was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr4) over 2150m at Bendigo was 8th- at the bell, beaten 17 m by Ideal Moth (2:37.10) in NR up to 59 on June 25 at $71. Has the task ahead.

Fair run when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Business In Heaven at this track over 1740m in a NR up to 70 on July 18 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Diamond Eclipse at this track over 1740m in a NR up to 80 on August 1 at $15. Leading chance again.

Last start 5th (Fr4) over 1740m at this track, beaten 4 m by Diamond Eclipse (2:03.20) in NR up to 80 on August 1 at $34. Two runs back was well back in the run when 4th (Fr7) over 1740m at this track, beaten 8 m by Business In Heaven (2:02.30) in NR up to 70 on July 18 at $23. This looks a far sterner test.

Didn't do much at the last run, was well back in the run when 6th (Fr8) over 1740m at this track, beaten 8 m by Diamond Eclipse (2:03.20) in NR up to 80 on August 1 at $19. Before that 9th (Fr5) over 2240m at Melton beaten 24 m by Diamond Eclipse (2:41.00) in NR up to 95 on July 26 at $13. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Seven-year-old entire racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track and Melton. Last start won by 2.75 m after showing early speed, (Fr7) at this track (2:03.20) beating Alot Like Louie in NR up to 80 on August 1 at $6.50. Winning prospects.
