Wagga Race 3 - Boots Civil Riverina Championships Entires And Geldings Heat Two
DOUBLE LOU (8) is in terrific form with three wins and a luckless Chariots of Fire fifth from his last four starts at Menangle. Draws wider but has the pace to get across and has won all four times he has raced here. Can keep that perfect record intact. HESITATE (7) has more than 9m to make up on DOUBLE LOU through his last start fourth but draws inside that rival this time and beat him home when fourth in the Chariots of Fire two back. Had kicked off his campaign with a G3 win at Melton last month and was a Eureka placegetter last season. Strikes at 50 per cent at this distance. Big chance. SINALOA (6) was runner-up to flying mare Captains Mistress at Listed level two back then chased her again for a terrific Group 1 third in the Chariots of Fire last start, beating the top two selections home. Can mix it with them again. SEATHESTARS (3) didn't perform to market expectations last time but will be fitter and draws well so may be worth another chance.

Scored at his last two starts. Last start won by 3.5 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr2) at this track (2:41.70) beating Kimcando in NR 61 to 68 on March 13 at $2.90. Hard to leave out on current form. Up in grade but racing well and draws to advantage.

Solid run when a close second after being driven well back, behind Laceys Lad at Newcastle over 1609m in a NR up to 90 on March 6 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Master Catch at Menangle over 1609m in a NR up to 105 on March 21 at $13. In fine form. Can play a role.

Improved last start with a game effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr7) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 6 m by Soho Gunslinger (1:50.60) in NR up to 80 on March 14 at $14. Solid last start and could be peaking.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing second behind Captains Mistress at Menangle over 1609m in a 4yo LR No NR on February 28 at $31. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Captains Mistress at Menangle over 1609m in a 4yo G1 No NR on March 7 at $151. Must rate highly off his last-start Chariots of Fire placing.

Last start was well back in the run when 4th (Fr7) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 9 m by Double Lou (1:49.70) in NR up to 95 on March 14 at $2.90. Before that, 4th (Fr9) over 1609m at Menangle was 5th-8.35 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Captains Mistress (1:49.80) in 4yo G1 No NR on March 7 at $51. Talented and can go close.

Hard to fault of late. Last start a big 3.5 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr4) at Menangle (1:49.70) beating Nerano in NR up to 95 on March 14 at $2.40. In form and has strong claims.
