Wagga Race 4 - Southwest Awards Night 21 February 3Yo Pace
RIDE THE HIGHS (7) is first up for six months but her juvenile form was terrific. Ended the last campaign with a hat trick of wins, the latest a 15m romp in the G1 QBred Triad 2F final at Albion Park. A recent trial win suggests she is ready to pick up where she left off. ALERT BAY (6) is a lightly raced but progressive colt who made it two wins in a row at this circuit and distance when resuming with a 2.7m success from the back row. Could be bound for better things. BETS ON HEAVEN (1) hasn't missed the top-four at this venue this time in and has won a trial since last seen. Can feature again from the ace draw. LOOKMEOVER NZ (4) will be fitter for the resuming fourth at Goulburn and showed promise last time in so can progress.

Three-year-old colt who is racing well. Solid first up, won by 2.75 m (Sr1) at this track (2:04.50) beating Im On No Sleep in 3yo NR up to 55 on January 16 at $3.70 at the bell was 6th-15.6. Talented and should be further improved so is a winning chance again.

Returns from the paddock. Previously first up posted a big 12 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr5) at Shepparton (2:04.00) beating La Smooch in 2yo MAIDEN on April 29 at $1.55. Last Group 1 winner who was readied with a trial win and can pick up where she left off.
