Wagga Race 7 - Nutrien Equine Standardbred Pace
FRANCO NICKELBACK NZ (10) is a progressive gelding who cruised home on debut before working but toughing out a win at this circuit and distance last start. Draws on the back line for the first time but could be bound for better things. WAMBOYNE MACHETE (9) last appeared when a fourth at Albury in December, capping off a fine prep that saw him salute on four occasions. Should enjoy a pretty soft run from this draw with the sprint lane in play. Has trialled so expecting a bright start to the campaign. MY ULTIMATE FRANCO NZ (7) draws wider but was very impressive when cruising to a last-start win by 30 metres at this venue. MILLIE FRANCIS NZ (3) worked when fourth as a hot favourite last time but did well to overcome a back row draw for a Canberra win prior.

Failed to impress last start; 9th (Fr1) over 1740m at this track beaten 40 m by Fasting (2:04.00) in NR up to 63 on February 2 at $18. Showed ability the race before when she posted a big 35 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr5) at Junee (2:10.50) beating Rocknroll Grace in 2 WINs M on January 19 at $1.28. Top-three finish is well within her grasp.

Second-up here following a spell. Solid effort when 3rd (Fr1) over 2150m at Bendigo beaten 10 m by Mount Barker Boy (2:35.30) in 3yo 10 0K on March 25 at $3.80. Plenty of scope for improvement and is one of the main chances.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr7) over 1740m at this track, at the bell was 5th-8.5 beaten 11 m by Seaside Sid (2:04.30) in NR up to 52 on March 27 at $11. Two runs back broke in score up and was out of position at the start 4th (Fr2) over 1740m at this track beaten 8 m by Foxfire Easton (2:02.40) in 4yo+ NR up to 55 on March 13 at $13. Unlikely to finish in the winner's circle.

Comes here in the right form. Tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.75 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr1) at this track (2:02.70) beating Rudimentary in NR up to 53 on March 20 at $1.28 at the bell was 2nd-0.9. Two runs back won by 14 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr2) at Shepparton (2:43.10) beating Fantasy Flight in MAIDEN on March 8 at $1.80. Going extremely well and can win again.
