Wagga Race 6

Zatoma Transport

Prize Money: $3,315

MERRY MERRIWA (2) was out of placings last time (23.59) at Dubbo in a Grade 5, finishing sixth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Has three wins already from this draw. Expected to go close. LATCH ON (4) made it two minor placings on the trot when beaten second (23.26) in a NG at this track last time out. Key player on best and worth another try. BIANCA'S BOY (7) has a strong record here with six wins and six placings from 17 starts. Below best last time at Shepparton (26.01) in a Grade 5, finishing a 6 length fourth. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. SLICK RAMBO (3) is a last-start placegetter with solid claims again.

Missed the frame latest (23.44) when fourth over 400m at this track in a NG. Super consistent from the draw with a win and two places from three starts. Will need the right run.

In the money last time at this track (23.26) in a NG, finishing a 0.8 lengths second. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and five places from 14 starts. Makes strong appeal.

Good effort to win last start by 5 lengths over 400m at this track in a handy (23.02), beating Slick Rambo. Will find this a bit tougher, others make more appeal.
