Wagga Race 4 - Ladbrokes Bidgee Cup Heat 4 H

HOW HIGH (3) was a last start winner (23.59) at Bendigo who is building a strong winning record. Got the money at his only try from this box. In sparkling form and expected to measure up again. DING'S SANDY (1) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (23.16) at this track behind Pay Time in a Grade 4/5. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Must be included in calculations. INDY MELMEN (2) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 7th at Sandown following on from a second place finish (29.53) there the start prior. Good beginner aided by a nice draw. Better than last start and can bounce back. MAXIMUM DAMAGE (4) was strongly fancied last time but finished sixth (30.38) at Wentworth Park, bringing a three-run winning streak to an end. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to his name from five starts.

Missed the frame last start when seventh but had been in strong form prior to that, winning three on end before placing two back. Capable and may well bounce back this time.

Has been in a purple patch of form, putting four wins together. Had plenty of support last start when he won comfortably by 4 lengths at Bendigo (23.59) beating Jetstream Icon in a Free For All on August 7. Flying lately and can score again.

Didn't make the placings last time at Wentworth Park (30.38) in a Grade 5, finishing a 4.5 lengths sixth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Among the chances on best.

Did a good job two starts back at The Meadows to win by 2.25 lengths in 35.36, beating Urana Orbit. Last start finished last over 525m at The Meadows beaten 22 lengths (31.90) behind Bernardo's Queen in a Special conditions H on July 18. Can't make much of a case this time.
