GOING:

WELCOME WAGGA DIRECTIONAL DRILLING PACE 1740m

Track: GOOD      

FASTING (10) has raced at Menangle in all three starts this time in including a fresh win over a mile. He'll relish the return to a circuit and distance where he has won both attempts. Take beating. TUPELO (1) has been in the placings in both starts here so far this campaign, improving last time when beaten 1.6m from a wide barrier. No excuses from this advantageous draw and should be close to peak fitness. SINBAD SASSY (6) is racing consistently having finished runner-up in all three starts since winning at this circuit and distance, missing by just a nose in his last two. Yet to miss a place either here or at the trip. Contender. MISTER WELLS (5) added to a string of wins and placings when runner up at Listed level last start. Respect.

Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.4 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Tizzy Lizzie at this track over 1740m in a NR up to 58 M on December 12 at $5.50. Building in fitness and should get every chance from this draw.
