Wagga Race 8 - Daniel Woods Funeral Care Pace
APPLAUDING (2) is racing in fine form having overcome tough draws to win her last two outings at this circuit and distance. Drew on the back row but dug deep and got home by a head last week. Stays in the same grade but gets a better draw so can land the hat trick. WHERE BACK (1) will find this easier than when tackling a higher-graded race at Menangle last start. Came from the back row in scoring at the previous appearance at Canberra. Likely to get the favours from the ace draw. Contender. TIZZY LIZZIE (4) didn't do a bad job when fifth after racing parked last week and placed here prior. Go well. OUR REBEL YELL (10) draws on the back row but looks close to a win after after finishing runner-up in his last two outings here, beaten just a head by APPLAUDING last week.

Last start was well beaten into ninth after a quick start, behind Sparkling Sea at Menangle over 1609m on June 16 at $31. Raced better the start before that where she came from midfield and won by a head (Sr1) held up early, at Canberra (2:07.60) beating Ideal In Dreams in on June 8 at $18 at the bell was 4th-4.4. The ace draw can see her bounce back.

Three-year-old filly is racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at this track both over 1740m. Last start won by a head as favourite (Sr2) at this track (2:02.20) beating Our Rebel Yell in on June 26 at $2.90. A good draw can see her land the hat trick.

Well beaten last start by Applauding, a rival who he faces again; was restrained, when 18 metres tenth at this track over 1740m in a race on June 26. Wait until the form picks up.

Didn't do much at the last run, 7th (Fr6) over 1740m at this track was 7th-11.2 at the bell, beaten 10 m by American Hammer (2:04.30) on June 19 at $17. Before that 7th (Fr2) over 1740m at this track was 6th-16.8 at the bell, beaten 18 m by Hollywood Strip (2:) on June 12 at $81. Would prefer to see a return to form before recommending.

Solid run when beaten by 2.75 m finishing third behind Hitch To His Star at this track over 1740m on June 12 at $15. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Palladium at this track over 1740m on June 26 at $23. One of the chances.

Good run when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Rachels Legacy at this track over 1740m on June 19 at $15. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Applauding at this track over 1740m on June 26 at $9. Tricky draw but looks close to a win.
