Wagga Race 8 - Tab Venue Mode Pace
OHHEMMJAY CRESCO (7) is in good form and looks close to a win following back-to-back placings in Victoria. Raced wide and worked but stuck on for second at his latest appearance at Swan Hill. May need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position but should be peaking now. JOLTED LOVER (2) went back last start but worked home in good style to finish just 4.5 metres from the winner in third at this circuit and distance, making it back-to-back placings. Long-time maiden but she draws well and the breakthrough could be imminent. GLAMOUR FOX (8) cops a wide draw but produced a good effort last time out when beaten narrowly into third at this circuit and distance. NOTTADOUBT (4) hasn't been too far off the placegetters of late and returns to the front row.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4.5 m third behind Spread The Fear at this track over 1740m last start. Before that was beaten 1.75 metres third at Leeton over 1758m same class on September 1. Among the top chances.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Taste It at Shepparton over 1690m on September 1 at $1.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Skadi at Swan Hill over 2240m on September 8 at $4.60. Can break through.

Returns from the paddock. At the latest first-up run 10th (Sr4) over 1740m at West Wyalong, beaten 35 m by Orama (2:08.80) on October 12 at $81. Recent trials will help bring him on but a lack of race-fitness might work against.
