Wagga Race 9 - Ule Hoof Oil Pace
BUSINESS IN HEAVEN (10) is working his way back into form. Came from a wide barrier and finished second at his latest appearance at this circuit and distance, less than 4 metres behind a top filly. If things go his way from the back row he could break through. EBONY KARALTA (1) goes up in grade but gets the ace draw and looks close to a win following back-to-back seconds. MESSERATI (5) didn't do a bad job when fourth from the back row at Goulburn on Monday and return to the front line. TITIWHA (6) drew wide last start at Menangle but has claims off a second from this barrier here prior.

Solid run when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Kia Ora Beauty at this track over 1740m on October 4 at $3.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Lexus Lou at Menangle over 1609m on October 13 at $13. Can be prominent from the ace draw.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr8) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 20 m by Lexus Lou (1:51.30) on October 13 at $13. Before that, a good run when 2nd (Fr6) over 2270m after being wide early at this track was 3rd-6.7 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Guilty Party (2:43.40) on October 4 at $11. Can play a greater role this time.

Didn't do much last time out, was well back in the run when 7th (Fr4) over 2270m at this track, at the bell was 5th-8.8 beaten 11 m by Where Back (2:45.10) on October 9 at $31. Before that 9th (Sr1) over 2270m at this track was 6th-11.7 at the bell, beaten 15 m by Guilty Party (2:43.40) on October 4 at $12. Others make more appeal.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after being driven well back, behind Nyack at this track over 1740m on October 4 at $71. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Ark Sea at this track over 1740m on October 9 at $15. Great chance to break through.
