Wagga Race 8 - Boots Civil Engineering Waratah Heat

FASTING (2) won at this track two runs ago before having his colours lowered at his latest appearance over 1740m at this track, beaten 1.75 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. MISTER BLUECHIP (3) led last start and scored in a far better performance at Canberra over 2170m, getting home by 2 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Recent effort is good enough to win a race of this calibre. CAPTAIN TOM (1) disappointed last time when tenth over 2582m at Leeton. Can make amends. REFUSAL (5) is in the mix if she can recapture the form from two starts back that saw her finish second over 2240m at Goulburn.
