RIVERINA CRANE SERVICES WAGGA WINTER SPRINT BENCHMARK 82 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Soft 7   Clouds (Max: 14)   Rail: +6m 1400m-W/Post, +3m Remainder.  

Major Time and Fine Vintage can be prominent. COMMANDS SUCCESS (9) all five wins have come at this trip and drops sharply in weight with the claim. Anchored with the 58kg when a plugging fourth to Scampi over this journey at Pakenham. Can race closer from the draw and play a leading role. THREE MUSKETEERS (11) starting to hit his straps this prep and looks up to this stiffer contest. Back in trip after returning good figures when a sharp 1300m winner at Wangaratta. Since fitted with a jump out win over 900m and Cory Parish retains the ride. Value prospect. CONDOR (3) building an imposing winning CV and chasing his fourth win from five starts. Ploughed through the heavy going when demolishing his rivals over 1000m at Mornington. Gets similar conditions for this and must be kept safe. JUST GOOGLE ME (7) failed to negotiate the Flemington straight on resumption when a wilting ninth over 1100m. Undefeated second up and saves his best for this track. Goes close. ROCKET TIGER (1) smart on his day and will relish the claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Command Success and Three Musketeers to fight it out.
