WAGGA 05 Oct 2024

GOING: S(6)

COUNTRY HOPE MAIDEN HANDICAP 1200m Track: SOFT 5 Rail: True.
Rocket Launcher, Take The Bribe and Rowdy Shebang to battle for the early lead at a slick tempo. SPRITZY LASS (6) resumes and is the one to beat. Her last two starts were in the rich Inglis Classic at Scone and the Black Opal at Group level. Just missed at Canberra on debut and the one after, and that's good form. She's trialled and should be ready to go. DODGE THE DARK (3) can improve for the Cleary yard. He needed it at Canberra first up and Krogh rides today in a key jockey switch. STEREO HEART (2) placed distantly at Corowa on debut and will be better for it. She also maps well. MONSIEUR DUBAI (7) was plain for the new yard first up after being fractious at the gates. Has the first-time blinkers applied and three back at Moe showed enough to suggest he'll win races. PEARL TROUT (5) debuts and has been well-trialled. Worth a betting watch as well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Spritzy Lass to win.
