Wagga Race 2 - Nixons Engineering Pace
PAUL ADAM (10) put the writing on the wall with a strong performance when second up at his latest appearance, finishing second at this venue. Draws on the back row but should find this easier and his lone win came at this circuit and distance. Could peak and win third up. IDEAL LILLY (1) produced a far better performance from this barrier last start when runner-up at Young. Has trialled since so should be hitting peak fitness now. HEAR NO EVIL (2) is on the radar after he came from this barrier to finish 6m off the winner here a week-and-a-half ago. RUSTY MUDSHARK (6) draws wider but is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish third at this circuit and distance.

Four-year-old mare facing the starter for the second time. At debut 5th (Fr1) over 1635m after showing early pace at Temora, at the bell was leading 1.3m on the pegs beaten 14 m by Marine Creature (2:02.80) on February 10 at $9. Placed in a recent trial and draws well so looks set for a bright return.

Two back was well beaten into eighth after being driven well back, behind Atomik Go Anna at this track over 1740m on September 8 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Piastri at this track over 2270m on September 22 at $7. Can improve. Well placed and ready to peak.
