Wagga Race 8 - Hertz Car Rental Pace
BARWEN STORM (1) was severely checked and broke last start so forgive that result. Had looked close to a win when runner-up in his previous two outings, coming from wider to miss by a nose at this venue two back. The ace draw should give him every chance to atone. BURTON (2) has been coming from wider barriers of late and did a good job to win the last time he attempted this distance here two back. Major player from a much better draw. SOKYS FALCON (3) draws lower than last week and scored back-to-back wins last month, one of them at this venue. THE BANKER NZ (4) deserves respect after leading from this barrier for a last-start win by 8.5 metres at Leeton.

Failed to impress last start; was well back in the run when 7th (Fr8) over 1740m at this track, beaten 8 m by Warieda Boy (2:04.40) in NR up to 45 on March 13 at $9.50. Showed ability the race before when he won by 2.75 m when driven back in the field, (Fr8) held up early, at this track (2:47.50) beating Hes A Terror in NR up to 47 on March 6 at $4.80 at the bell was 3rd-1.7. A low draw can see him bounce back.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following March 10 run. Last start won by 3 m (Sr2) at Junee (2:12.40) beating Jungle Shark in NR 33 to 35 on March 17 at $6. This race will be harder than that win. Not likely to threaten this time.

Nine-year-old gelding showed improvement last start and is backing up after three days. 3rd (Fr3) over 1760m at Junee beaten 13 m by All So Sassy (2:12.50) in NR 36 to 39 on March 17 at $11. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into fifth behind The Banker at Leeton over 1758m in a NR 36 to 40 on March 10 at $21. Might find this beyond him.
