Wagga Race 2 - Wagga Gold Cup Carnival May 1 & 2 Mtc Cup (Bm74)
HELLUVA SOIREE (5) didn't have much luck in the Canberra Cup preview last start when chopped out at a crucial stage but showed great ticker to pick back up and finish fourth. Has come along nicely this campaign under her new trainer Luke Pepper who is in red-hot form. Gets in low at the weights with the 2kg claimer reuniting and is a mare in form that will prove tough to stop. ASSOCIATE (1) is forever running on and while he hasn't won for a long time, he is a capable type on his day. Didn't run the trip last time when seeing it for the first time but willing to forgive. ASHAU VALLEY (4) bounced back off a poor run at Bendigo to just miss last start over this journey. Rates highly on best figures and can play a major role. LOOSE LOVE (2) is 1/1 over this trip and can easily some recent poor performances behind him fourth-up.

Useful gelding. Last start second last of 7 at Wangaratta Hcp on March 1 over 2000m, 5 len behind Harmonious Senora with 55kg at $9. Before that 2nd of 13 at Randwick Highway-C3 on February 15 over 1800m, slow going nose behind Tapa Kick carrying 59.5kg at $17. Capable of sharp improvement.

Useful gelding. At the latest run second last of 9 at this track Tompattoncup on March 1 over 1800m, 5.5 len behind Field Legend carrying 59.5kg at $11. The run before that sat behind the speed prior to fading second last of 10 at Sapphire Coast Merimbula Bm82 on February 13 over 1600m, slow going 6 len behind Master Riley carrying 58kg at $9.50. Rates highly and can bounce back.

At the latest run 4th of 12 at Sunshine Coast Bm62 on February 28 over 2200m, 2.75 len behind Likeabeel with 58kg at $14. Before that 10th of 12 at Eagle Farm Bm80 on February 15 over 2200m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Age Of Sail carrying 54kg at $101.

Useful gelding. At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 10 at Wangaratta Bm64 on March 1 over 2000m, long-neck behind Samurai Star carrying 60kg at $13. The start before that ran last of 9 at Bendigo Marong Cup on February 15 over 2200m, 6 len behind Bogues with 54kg at $18. Should go well again.

Useful type. Most recently 4th of 10 at Canberra Canb Cup Prev88 on February 21 over 2000m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Scarli Japali with 55kg at $31. Before that came from midfield and won by a neck at Sapphire Coast Cup Bm66 February 2 over 2200m defeating Burgundy Girl carrying 55kg at $18. Great chance to atone.

Last start second last of 8 at Goulburn Cl1-Sw on February 28 over 2145m, 10 len behind Fernao carrying 59kg at $19. The race before that ran last in a small field at Canberra Cl1-Sw on February 21 over 1600m, slow going 7 len behind Sunshine Law with 59kg at $26. Form only moderate and a win doesn't look likely.

The run before that ran last of 11 at this track Bm58 on February 17 over 1600m, 6 len behind Magicholler with 55kg at $71. Not keen at all.
