Wagga Race 5 - Batkin & Damme Smash Repairs Country Boosted Hcp (C1)
MISS MIKKI ISLE (1) has a stack up of early speed and had that on full display first-up over the track and trip, only to concede late. Was a dominant maiden winner second-up here last campaign. Expect her to head straight to the front and prove very tough to reel in. RIPPANA (4) made light work of her maiden here last start when putting the best part of 3L to her nearest rival. From an in-form stable and has winning hoop in Loy sticking. Is a lightly raced five-year-old that can go on with the job now. SHE'S THE KEY (5) lengthened nicely to arrive just in time when resuming at Queanbeyan. Tougher this time but is open to further improvement and is among the key hopes. MISS BELGIUM (3) next best.

Second-up. First-up after four months led but faded 3rd of 10 at this track Bm58 on February 17 over 1000m, 1.1 len behind Mother Joy with 59.5kg at $1.45. Previously second-up favourite; won by 4 len at this track Super Mdn September 5 over 1000m defeating Starsheena carrying 58kg at $2.40. Fitter for that run and will be tough to beat.

Second-up. Promising on debut eased back early on 4th of 8 at Canberra Acton Mdn-Sw on July 26 over 1080m, 9 len behind Weeping Woman carrying 57kg at $16. Went for a spell before returning raced right near the speed and boxed on; scored a big 3.5 len win at this track Ctry Mdn February 17 over 1000m defeating Bonnie Murringo carrying 58kg at $5.50. Only needs to hold that form to be winning again. Back in fine order and is well-placed to take this out.

Having second run back today. Last start won by 0.7 len at Queanbeyan Mdn-Sw February 18 over 900m defeating Bolo Miss carrying 58kg at $7.50. At only start last preparation raced on the speed throughout before fading to run last of 8 at Canberra Mdn on September 20 over 1000m, 9 len behind Hou Long Gwai with 57.5kg at $10. Strips fitter and is one of the leading chances.

Resuming after a break of 19 months. Finished off last preparation ninth of 12 at Corowa Cl1 July 31 2023 over 1000m, soft track; 8 len behind Rumours Abound carrying 55kg at $16. First up last campaign second of 10 at Leeton Bm50 July 22 2023 over 1050m, soft track; a neck behind Sheila carrying 59kg at $10. This looks a stern test.
