Wagga Race 5 - Benstud Standardbreds 3Yo Pace
BROOKLYN DAN (11) is a progressive colt who came from a similar barrier to this for a resuming win at Listed level at Melton. That took his strike rate at this distance range to 50 per cent and is a very strong form reference for this. The one to beat. YIRRADIVA (9) is back from a break of four-and-a-half months having gone to the paddock off a win at this circuit and distance. Fourth in a Group 1 fillies in Sydney two back. Draws for a trail and looks to be right up to the mark following a recent trial win. LOOKMEOVER NZ (4) looks close to a win after two successive placings. Draws lower and should be peaking now. CAPTURE OUR HEART NZ (6) draws lower so can progress off a nice return.

Wait until the form picks up.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4 m third behind Im On No Sleep at this track over 1740m 3yo NR up to 58 last start. Before that was beaten 2.25 metres second at Bathurst over 1730m same class on February 18. Draws well and is building in fitness.
