Wagga Race 8 - Benstud Standardbreds Pace
GOTTA HAV ME NZ (1) has come from wider or second row barriers in each of her three runs this campaign and was good when beaten only 3m here last week. That should have brought her to peak fitness and she is well served by the ace draw. AROMET GIRL (2) was a big improver second-up when she led from wider to score at Leeton, getting home by 2.5 metres. Likely to get the favours from this nice draw so could go on with it. LITTLE SASSY BOY (3) draws well and has claims of a win from the second line here two back. LIT THE WICK (6) has been about the mark of late and must be respected having worked from this barrier to finish 3.6m away last start.

Last start 6th (Fr5) over 1740m after showing early speed at this track, at the bell was 2nd-0.8 beaten 3 m by Norms Lady (2:03.60) on July 10 at $9.50. Before that, 4th (Sr2) over 1740m at this track was 6th-8.8 at the bell, beaten 11 m by Lombok (2:03.20) on July 3 at $23. Draws the pegs and should be peaking now.

Last start won by 2.5 m when quickly away, (Fr5) at Leeton (2:08.20) beating Our Cheeky Devil in on July 7 at $81 at the bell was leading 4.9. Will benefit from the nice draw. Draws well and could go on with it.

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Sr4) over 1758m at Leeton, beaten 25 m by Aromet Girl (2:08.20) on July 7 at $3. Showed ability the outing before when he ran on from midfield and won by 2 m as favourite (Sr2) at this track (2:05.40) beating Go Colour My World in on July 3 at $3 at the bell was 5th-10.4. Draws well and is capable of far better.

Last start 7th (Fr2) over 1740m at this track was 4th-5.6 at the bell, beaten 16 m by Perfect Stranger (2:02.00) on July 10 at $61. At her previous start 10th (Fr2) over 1740m at this track beaten 22 m by Ark Sea (2:02.40) on July 3 at $71. Drops in grade so may do better.

Didn't do much last time out, 7th (Fr4) over 2170m after showing early pace at Canberra, beaten 21 m by Borrowed Time (2:40.30) on June 1 at $7. Before that 5th (Sr3) over 1720m at Young was 9th-19 at the bell, beaten 12 m by Mammals Girl (2:04.30) on May 26 at $15. Unlikely to threaten.
