Wagga Race 2 - Stroud Homes Pace
BENJAMIN (3) found the Gold Chalice series beyond him but did have back row draws in both rounds. Had started off his career with three wins and a close second, highlighted by a Menangle victory. Won his only previous attempt at this circuit and distance and draws well. Looks nicely placed. ALTA BILLY (2) came from the back row for fourth in a higher-graded race at Bathurst last start. Should enjoy an economical run from this draw and finds a more suitable race so can improve sharply. HES CHIMING (1) has been tackling stronger company of late and should get his chance from the ace draw. IDEAL BANDIT (9) comes off a last-start win by 1.6 metres at Swan Hill and has been successful in two of his three starts at this distance.

Didn't do much last start, 9th (Fr6) over 2170m after showing early pace at Junee, beaten 50 m by Time To Torque (2:41.10) in NR up to 58 on March 17 at $9.

Two back was well beaten into ninth after being driven well back, behind Keayang Jigsaw at this track over 2270m in a NR up to 58 on February 27 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Waves Of Chance at this track over 2270m in a NR 61 to 68 on March 13 at $5. Can build on that fine effort last start.

Last start just off the speed and boxed on; won by a neck when quickly away, (Fr1) at this track (2:04.90) beating Needbee in NR up to 57 on March 27 at $4.20 at the bell was 3rd-4.5. Must be considered in this sort of form.
