Expecting some noticeable on pace bias at Wagga. Tuncurry generally plays towards on pacers.
Tuncurry R2 10. Millenium Jewel
Blinkers off first time and stepping out to the 1200m. Racing well for the inform Doyle stable. Finished 2nd when first-up, sat on speed over the 1000m at an ok tempo, very strong late. Second-up, slowly away, 5th over 1000m in tougher company – time was good. Won a trial on heavy before resuming.

Tuncurry R4 12. Scanlan
Value betting around the fav. Hard To Excel ($2.1 Fav) looks a lay here. Steps up to the 1400m on the back of starts over the 1100m and 1000m where his late splits have been very ordinary suggesting he may not see out the 1400m. Scanlan is in good order this prep racing consistently over 1400-1500m on wet tracks. His ratings and figures have been good enough to be very competitive here. Tricky draw, however.
Stake 1.75u at $4.2
Wagga R4 4. Riverbank Rat
Speedy type. 4 career starts, only the 1 on dry at Echuca over 1000m. He finished 4th 1L with an overall solid rating – enough to win this. Has the speed to cover the draw. If he brings that form he’ll go close.
