Wagga Race 3 - Vale Pat Lodge
SAVOY BALLROOM (8) is working towards a win and was brave on Monday when she raced parked but stuck on for second at this circuit and distance. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw but with even luck she could take this out. SPORTS LOOK (9) hasn't raced since July but showed promise in the maiden campaign including a second at Menangle and another placing here. Draws for a trail and has been readied for the return with a trial. CHANCETOWIN (1) only beat a couple home on debut but started from the back row. Could be a big improver from the ace draw. ULTIMATE EGO (6) is fitter for recent racing and draws a little lower than in the last-start fifth.

Good performance when beaten by 4 m finishing fourth behind Flexi Bet at Junee over 1760m in a NR 36 to 39 on January 19 at $7.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Flexi Bet at Junee over 1760m in a NR up to 42 on January 24 at $34. One for the exotics.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fifth after being driven well back, behind Caesar Nero at this track over 1740m in a NR up to 48 on January 16 at $71. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing second behind French Street at this track over 2270m in a NR up to 48 on February 2 at $9. Draws wide but is race fit now and could go one better.
