Wagga Race 5 - Riverina Hotel Pace
JIMMY JAMES MAGUIRE NZ (8) is back from a spell of five months and looks to be right up to the mark following two nice trials, winning the latest. Scored a win over this distance the last time he raced here three back and was edged out narrowly in the city in his next outing. Has to contend with a very wide draw but owns a good fresh record. VIEW THE ART (1) came from a few spots wider when fourth last start at Junee. This is stronger but she owns a decent record here and is well served by the ace draw. OCTAGONISE (5) has been thereabouts of late and is a chance to break through off a good effort last time out when he finished third at this circuit and distance. CARLO GAMBINO NZ (7) cops a wider draw this week but is in form with two wins and a second from his last three outings here.
