CONGRATULATIONS WAGGA RSL CLUB 2YO HANDICAP 1000m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 33)   Rail: +8m 1400m-W/Post, True Remainder.  

Anticipating a good amount of early pressure with many of these two-year-olds facing the starter for the first time. Very tricky race to assess with a stack of first starters engaged. Let the market give you a strong guide. TIMELESS GRACE (9) perhaps impressed most in her lead-up work. Is a Time To Reign filly on debut for the in-form Luke Pepper stable. Booking of McDougall adds confidence. GLENN'S LEGACY (3) is a first-starter by Sandbar for Danny Williams. Showed good improvement at his second trial and has worked in the blinkers before. Another key booking in Heywood. Must be some hope. DEEKAYGEEBEE (2) is a Russian Revolution gelding on debut for the Craig Widdison camp. Showed enough in his Albury trial placing to suggest he can make an impact. COOL AS POPEYE (6) next. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Timeless Grace.
