Wagga Race 2

Thomas Bros Group Showcase (Bm58)

Prize Money: $30,000

ABSTRUSE (1) settled well back last time out before powering home into third on a wet Nowra track. Likely to drift back again from her draw but with a solid tempo anticipated, she can reel them in. MARINE GIRL (3) is in great form, lifting strongly to score last start over this trip at Queanbeyan to make it two in succession. Has good early toe so will give herself every chance again in front, just needs to carry the added weight. HOWIE DO IT (4) settled back before coming home strongly to score as favourite on debut at Leeton five months ago before heading straight to the paddock. Has been readied with a Canberra trial placing and is drawn favourably. Expect him to make his presence felt. DRAMA DODGER (7) doesn't win out of turn but was good fresh when beaten narrowly here in stronger company. Carries more weight this time but deserves following up. ELASTANE MISS (2) returns and has run well fresh without winning. Holds claims for the local barn.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run got back early 3rd in a small field at Nowra Bm58 on February 8 over 1100m, on a wet track; 1.0 len behind La Mer Bleue with 60kg at $2.70. The start before that favourite; won by a nose at Sapphire Coast Ctry Bm58 January 31 over 1000m in soft going defeating Christmas Star carrying 58kg at $8.50. Shapes as a top chance.

Last start sat on the pace before fading 8th of 10 at Werribee 0 - 56 on February 1 over 1018m, 4 len behind Nerola carrying 60kg at $6.50. Before that settled back and ran on when 5th of 7 at Seymour Bm66 on December 18 over 1000m, 5.5 len behind Yolo carrying 56kg at $61. Struggling to find form and has the job ahead.

Second-up today. Last run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 10 at this track Cl2 Bm62 on February 16 over 1000m, 0.8 len behind Tallingas Immortal carrying 54kg at $8.50. At only start last preparation sat on the pace when 2nd of 7 at Goulburn Bm50 on November 8 over 1100m, long-neck behind Eternal Ember carrying 59.5kg at $5.50. Warrants genuine consideration.

Most recently 3rd of 10 at Holbrook Bm50 on February 14 over 1100m, 0.6 len behind Densetsu carrying 59kg at $15. The start before that 5th of 8 at Albury Ctry Cl2 on February 5 over 1000m, 5.5 len behind Sargeant Stan carrying 53.5kg at $151. Not without an each-way chance.
