GOING: G(4)

KNIGHT FRANK WAGGA WAGGA COUNTRY BOOSTED BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 27)   Rail: True.  

Keith has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. FREDDY'S SHOCK (12) is ready to win off the two placed efforts this track. Stepped up to this trip the latest and will be further improved. McDougall sticks aboard and that's a decent push for his chances. MOONLIGHT DREAM (4) switched from a Sydney stable and was heavily bet to win at Albury first-up but settled back and didn't finish well enough. Presents fitter and will be suited by the step up to 1400m. Has an awkward barrier but more to offer. TYCOON ARTIE (3) beat Freddy's Shock home comfortably here 15 days ago spiking his figures. Has to carry 2kg more but he should go close of he holds the form. DEMI GOD (14) flopped on the same day over a mile. He was a spacious Maiden winner at the track over 1300m prior and with the handy gate can't be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Freddy's Shock appeals most.
