Wagga Race 1 - Nijinsky Standing At Yirribee Stud Pace
ALIGHIERI (5) has the hoof on the till after placing in three of his last four starts, last time coming from this barrier and racing parked but boxing on as runner-up at this circuit and distance. With even luck he could break through. ROLL THE ACES (6) made it back-to-back wins by scoring at this circuit and distance last month and has been competitive here since. Primary contender in what looks a suitable assignment. VALENTINI (7) draws much wider than when she finished third at Young a week ago but that was her third top-four finish on the trot so she deserves respect as does MELATI BOY (4) who is up in grade but came from a wider draw to win at this circuit and distance last start.

Last start 6th (Fr6) over 1690m at Shepparton beaten 23 m by Wheres Wood Wood (2:04.20) on September 15 at $101. Before that, was well back in the run when 6th (Fr6) over 1770m at Albury, beaten 25 m by Didnt I (2:13.70) on August 11 at $151. Draws the inside so can play a far greater role this time.

Didn't do much last time out, 7th (Fr3) over 1740m after showing early speed at this track was 5th-8.2 at the bell, beaten 18 m by Atomik Go Anna (2:05.70) on September 8 at $41. Before that 7th (Sr1) over 1758m at Leeton beaten 40 m by Rock Spirit (2:08.90) on September 1 at $51. Hard to have on those efforts.

Good run when beaten by 4 m finishing fourth after showing early speed, behind Barwen Storm at this track over 1740m on September 8 at $2.40. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Alwaysatthebeach at Young over 1720m on September 15 at $7.50. Draws wider but she is one of the contenders.

Failed to impress last start; 10th (Fr7) over 1740m after racing wide at this track, beaten 40 m by Barwen Storm (2:07.30) on September 8 at $31. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 2.25 m after showing early speed, (Fr8) at this track (2:06.70) beating Village Area in on August 28 at $15. Could bounce back.

Last start was well back in the run when 9th (Fr3) over 2147m at Leeton, beaten 30 m by Onthadarkside (2:38.80) on September 1 at $101. Two runs back 9th (Fr2) over 1740m at this track beaten 25 m by Jilliby Tomcat (2:04.70) on August 25 at $10. Faces a tough assignment. Prefer others.
