Wagga Race 2

Ladbrokes Punter Assist Masters

Prize Money: $2,310

TALAKAI (2) goes very well here starting 24 times for nine wins and three minors. Below best last time at this track (18.50) in a Free For All, finishing a 6 length sixth. Looks the one to beat with even luck. NEXT OF KIN (8) wasn't far away at the finish when 5th and beaten only 5 lengths (18.65) at this track. Some good form is emerging from his last run. One of the better chances. DAKSHA BALE (1) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when seventh at this track over 320m behind How Fast (19.10) in a Grade 5. The form out of last race has been strong. One of the better hopes. TIGGERLONG FLYER (7) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.

Was out of placings last time (19.10) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 8 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minors. Has ability and should feature.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (18.50) in a Free For All, finishing a 6 length sixth. Yet to miss the frame from seven starts from the draw, including five wins. Leading chance.

Solid performance to win by 0.8 lengths at this track over 320m (18.52) beating Arrow Fernando in Grade 4 on December 2. Among the chances and worth following up.

Missed the frame when sixth (19.07) at this track at last run and returns here after a ten weeks break. Has a win and a minor from four fresh up runs. Looks a place chance at best.
