Wagga Race 8 - Southwest Stockfeeds Pace
IDEAL BANDIT (9) brings strong form from Victoria having made it two wins on the trot when he got the cash by 5 metres last week at Melton. Can travel in a nice spot from this draw and wait on the sprint lane if necessary. Proven here and strikes at 50 per cent at the distance so can chalk-up the hat-trick. VIN NUMBER (10) has been racing well in stronger company, missing by only 2m two back and placing last week, both at this circuit and distance. Draws on the back line but is suited in this grade. NORMS LADY (1) is coming back in class and gets the ace draw again so is worth another chance. OCTAGONISE (6) hasn't been far away at his last couple and finds a more suitable assignment.

Last start 10th (Fr5) over 1770m after showing early speed at Albury, beaten 45 m by Abouttime (2:09.20) in NR up to 80 on May 1 at $8. Two runs back won by 15 m as favourite (Sr1) at Albury (2:10.70) beating Yarraman Jolt in 3yo No NR on December 31 at $2.20 at the bell was leading 3.2m on the pegs. Strips fitter and owns a strong strike rate at this circuit and distance so can improve.

Four-year-old entire is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Melton and Shepparton.

Solid performance when beaten by 2 m finishing fourth behind Scheming at this track over 1740m in a NR up to 90 on April 24 at $1.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Jacks Ultimate Fury at this track over 1740m in a NR up to 90 on May 8 at $15. Progressing well. Draws on the back row but is well placed dropping in grade.
