Wagga Race 8 - Riverina Ensuite Hire Pace
MESSAGE BANK (6) chased star colt Hollywood Strip when fourth at his latest appearance. Won three of his previous four outings, leading to salute two back at this venue. Draws wide but loves this distance, winning six of eight attempts. Big chance. There was plenty to like about the latest performance of DIAMOND ECLIPSE (9) when third at Melton, beaten 2.2 metres. Draws for a trail and owns a decent record here. Danger. MIKI LOCH (2) raced parked when winning at this circuit and distance last month and could be close to another success after seconds in the last two outings. Up in grade but draws to make an impact. DAY TWO (7) draws wide but brings consistent form from Victoria and is a two-time winner at this circuit and distance.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fourth after showing early speed, behind Message Bank at this track over 1740m on June 5 at $23. Then a handy effort when a close third after showing early speed, behind Where Back at Canberra over 1770m on June 8 at $2.70. Can play a role in the finish again.

Last start was well back in the run when 6th (Fr5) over 1740m at this track, at the bell was 7th-19.3 beaten 16 m by Hollywood Strip (2:) on June 12 at $126. Before that, 8th (Fr3) over 1609m at Menangle, at the bell was 7th-12.2 beaten 12 m by Rewatch (1:52.10) on June 6 at $71. Deserves another chance.

Last start was well beaten into fourth after being driven well back, behind Hollywood Strip at this track over 1740m on June 12 at $16. Raced better the start before that where he won by 3 m as favourite (Fr1) at this track (2:03.60) beating Miki Loch in on June 5 at $1.12. Has a great strike rate at this distance so can return to the winners' list.

At the start before game effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr5) over 2150m at Bendigo beaten 14 m by Ultimate Vinnie (2:33.60) on May 20 at $2.60. May be in the mix with even luck.
