Wagga Race 5 - 'Raising Hope With Steph’ Country Boosted Bragger Cup (Bm50)
Tricky race. DREAM INHERIT (2) was narrowly beaten at big odds last start over 1400m at Cootamundra. Expect Ramsbotham to go forward again and inject her into the race. Could take catching if she turns up on song. DANISH HUSSAR (10) led and proved too strong at Narromine, making it two straight. Faces a tougher test but deserves respect. MEMPHIS TENNESSEE (8) improved second-up at Canberra and will be better again stepping to the mile on the quick back-up. Represents value. KERMA ART (9) doesn't win often but has peaks that stack up. McDougall's booking is a strong push. STAR EMPIRE (7) finds it hard to land the knockout blow but is holding form and can be competitive again.

Most recently sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 11 at Cootamundra Ctry Bm58 on October 5 over 1400m, 0.5 len behind Tillman with 58.5kg at $51. The race before that second last of 9 at Canberra Bm60 on September 19 over 1300m, 5.5 len behind Buenos with 58.5kg at $101. Much better last time and can go on with it.

At the latest run ran last of 11 at Randwick Filante on October 25 over 1600m, 15 len behind Fortune with 54kg at $201. The run before that 6th of 11 at Moruya Bm66 on October 3 over 1650m, 3 len behind Wal's Angels carrying 55kg at $21. Disappointing of late and looks safely held.

Most recently 2nd of 10 at Forbes Bm50 on October 11 over 1400m, on a slow track; long-neck behind Kirk carrying 59.5kg at $6. The race before that 9th of 12 at Narromine Cl2 on September 22 over 1300m, on a wet track; 9 len behind Shadow Dane with 55kg at $31. Was better last time but want to see consistency before getting interested.

Before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.75 len at Goulburn Bm58 September 12 over 1600m in heavy going defeating Drunken Sailor carrying 53kg at $4.20. Can't have off that run.

Most recently won by 0.6 len at Albury Ctry Mdn October 11 over 1400m defeating Strategic Defense carrying 53kg at $4.20. Before that 5th of 11 at this track Mdn-Sw on September 29 over 1600m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Super Groovey with 55kg at $3.80. Deserves respect but will be coming from a long way off them.

Chasing a hat-trick. Most recently favourite; won by 1.2 len at Narromine Bm50 October 18 over 1600m defeating Firestorm Boy with 56.5kg at $4.80. The start before that favourite; won by 2.25 len at Wagga Riverside Bm50 October 4 over 1675m defeating Kerma Art with 53kg at $5.50. This is tougher but he's going too good to ignore.
