Wagga Race 6 - Vale John Davey
BAINBRIDGE (8) is a capable pacer and is racing well having placed in three of his last four starts including the G2 Newcastle Mile. Had enough speed to lead from this barrier when third at Menangle last start. Finds a winnable assignment. SCARED STIFF NZ (3) hasn't raced since the Leeton Cup three-and-a-half months ago but looks to be right up to the mark following a recent trial win. Won the last time he raced here and draws well. FASTING (2) goes up in grade but draws well and is progressive having scored last start by 1.6 metres at this circuit and distance, his fifth success from eight attempts at this circuit and distance. SEASIDE DELIGHT (1) owns a good record at this venue and distance and usually races well second-up so can progress aided by the ace draw.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Sr1) over 2270m at this track beaten 19 m by Hollywood Strip (2:39.40) in NR up to 90 on April 4 at $18. Showed ability the outing before when he ran on from midfield and won by 1.3 m as favourite when driven back in the field, (Fr6) held up early, at this track (2:44.60) beating Octagonise in NR up to 90 on March 20 at $2.60 at the bell was 4th-5.2. Among the exotic chances.
