WAGGA WAGGA MARKETPLACE MAIDEN HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 29)   Rail: Out 6m 1400m-W/Post, True Remainder.  

Downtown's Abbey and Imposing Tallulah should lock horns early at a strong gallop. HOT TODDY (3) looked to be nearing a breakthrough win, before turning in a poor one here last start. Capable of better and can turn things around sharply. Key player. IMPOSING TALLULAH (5) resumes for Donna Scott. Showed promising signs on debut when missing by a lip. Looks to have come on nicely during the break and strips fitter for a recent trial win here in readiness. Can make a bright return. FUTURE FUND (1) was an eye-catcher here first up when rattling home to narrowly miss in third. Sure to have come on with that run under the belt and is drawn kinder. Bold showing anticipated. DOWNTOWN'S ABBEY (6) performed above market expectations here a fortnight ago when beaten less than a length in third. Beasley sticking is a good push for her chances. No reason she can't shed the tag. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going Hot Toddy to win.
