Wagga Race 2 - Ladbrokes Bidgee Cup Heat 2 H

INSPECTION (2) is having his first look at this course. In the money last start when second (30.03) at Sandown over 515m. Safe beginner who has drawn to advantage. Ready to find winning form. XARA'S LEON (7) is long overdue for a win and in super consistent form, jumping from this box to place last time at The Meadows (30.40), making it three straight minors. Solid beginner and with a good start should have clear running out wide. Must include in calculations. SKEDADDLE ARLO (8) is a talented dog who is a winner of 27 races and filled a minor placing latest when second at Nowra (20.39). Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Can measure up. NANGAR CHARM (3) was strongly fancied last time but ran below expectations when fifth (26.09), beaten 5.5 lengths.
