Wagga Race 8 - Vale Johnny Jones
SHIFTY BULLDOZER (1) is progressing well scoring last time out (22.93) at this track and bringing up his 3rd career win. Has a strong winning record here. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Hard to go past. ALL CHAMPAGNE (2) turned in a better effort at Shepparton last start, finishing second behind Kraken Rum (22.34) in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Winning chance. PAY TIME (7) was below best last time but prior to that was narrowly beaten when fourth (18.86) in a Grade 5 at this track. Key player on best and worth another try. PAW YUSAMI (3) cannot be underestimated.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (22.34) at Shepparton over 390m. In the money last time and looks well placed to go one better.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Shepparton over 390m in 22.38. Followed that up with a minor placing over 400m at this track at Grade 5 two weeks ago. Predicted to struggle on this occasion.
