Wagga Race 6 - Gordon Mcrae Memorial 3Yo
MIKI ALMIGHTY (5) made a good start to his career two-and-a-half weeks ago, beaten 4 metres into third over 1740m at this track. Stepping up a level this time but he is better for that last hit-out and capable of opening his account. BETTOR INTHE DARK (9) stayed out of the early speed battle from a wide gate on the front line last start and was never in the race, finishing 17 metres from the winner in seventh here over 2270m. Drawn to enjoy an economical run and might sweat on the sprint lane. Meets a similar quality field and is good enough to take out a race like this. A CLASS APART (3) is a three-year-old gelding by Tintin In America from African Dancer on debut. Has the benefit of a good draw. Placed in a recent trial and looks well-placed to score at his first appearance. KYCORDEN (8) must be considered after he finished third over 1720m at Young a week ago. One for the exotics players.

First up. At the last run he finished 6th (Fr5) over 1770m after showing early pace at Albury, beaten 45 m by Spartan Shield (2:10.90) in 2yo on December 16 at $19. Sure to be in the mix while fresh.

Last start 12th (Fr4) over 2270m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 40 m by Eye Wish (2:43.20) in 3yo LR F on May 30 at $151. Before that, broke in score up and was out of position at the start 6th (Fr6) over 2270m at this track beaten 23 m by Go Easy On Me (2:45.50) in 3yo F on May 22 at $101. Strips fitter and from an low draw gets her chance to shine.

Three-year-old filly who has plenty of ability. Unlucky last start was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr7) over 2270m at this track was 7th-11.9 at the bell, beaten 17 m by Willows Girl (2:44.60) in 3yo F on May 22 at $51. Certainly worth another chance.
