Wagga Race 3 - Yirribee Stud Pace
SPIRIT OF SAHARA (6) continued his consistent form when third at his latest appearance at Bendigo, beaten 4.5 metres for his fourth placing from his last five starts. Draws wide but usually races well here. GO COLOUR MY WORLD NZ (10) draws on the back row but his form is strong. Recorded back-to-back wins, one of them at this circuit, before drawing wide when fourth last week. Major player with even luck. JILLIBY RYDER (9) had to work when parked last start but was racing consistently with a string of top-three finishes prior. Draws for a trail and is worth another chance. TUFFASNAILS (5) kicked off his career with a win at Canberra over this distance and has upside.
