Wagga Race 8 - Small Dog Dash Easter Saturday Pace
MAJOR HAYLEY (4) has been racing well of late and looks close to a win after placing in three of her last four starts. Drew on the back row at this circuit and distance at her latest appearance but found the front and boxed on for third, beaten 1.4 metres. Could break through. ALWAYSTHEWILDEST (6) looks a filly of some promise having scored by 3 metres at this venue at her first career run last week. Draws wider but has upside. FEELGOOD RAY (10) came from a similar barrier to this to win at Junee last month and could be close to another success following back-to-back seconds. BOUY (2) draws well and looks to be nearing a win following two successive placings at Shepparton.

Resuming after five months off the scene. Finished off last preparation recording by 5.5 m after showing early speed, (Fr4) at Leeton (2:09.40) beating Rock Spirit in 2yo MAIDEN on October 21 at $4 at the bell was leading 4.4m on the pegs. Nicely drawn so keep safe.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Cresco Threepeat at Shepparton over 1690m in a NR up to 45 on March 8 at $34. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Major Maurie at Shepparton over 1690m in a NR 41 to 44 on March 17 at $41. Draws well so can be in the finish again.
