GOING: G(4)

WAGGA RSL CLUB SHOWCASE SUPER MAIDEN PLATE 1200m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: True.  

The Nephilim should lead at a slick tempo. ME ME (12) impressed when resuming with a fast-finishing second over this trip at Kembla Grange. Has come back in excellent order, and with natural improvement second-up, she looks ready to break through. Expect her to settle off the pace again and launch late. HELL OF A FOX (9) jumped out of the ground late last start at Canberra, only to miss by a lip in his stable debut for the red-hot Luke Pepper yard. Has proven versatile with her speed and is sure to take another strong account. KURRAJONG (2) resumes and gets the blinkers on first time. Keeping safe. THE NEPHILIM (5) can improve into a placing here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Me Me the one to beat.
