Wagga Race 8 - Medowie Lodge Pace
SPARKLING SEA (10) is a high class filly who was last seen when runner-up in the Group 1 Breeders Challenge 2F final at Menangle in October having earlier won both a heat and a semi-final of that series. Readied for her return with a trial win and will be headed for much bigger assignments than this. TIZZY LIZZIE (2) is back in winning form having come from wider to score by 1.7 metres at this circuit and distance last week. The good draw should see her competitive again. KIA ORA BEAUTY (9) drops in grade after tackling a Listed race last start at Melton. Draws for a trail and came from this row when she won three back at Kilmore. NORMS LADY (4) has been tackling higher-graded races of late including at Melton placing last month. This suits.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr8) over 1740m at this track beaten 14 m by Tizzy Lizzie (2:02.00) in NR 56 to 57 on February 20 at $34. Two runs back ran on from midfield and won by a head (Sr1) at this track (2:02.60) beating Ebony Karalta in NR up to 52 on February 6 at $11 at the bell was 5th-9.7. May find this tough.

Returns from the paddock. Previously first up posted a big 3.5 m win (Fr9) at Menangle (1:51.00) beating One More Reason in 2yo No NR F on September 15 at $3.40. Classy filly who is bound for better things so is well placed for a winning return.
