Wagga Race 7 - Tendon Care Nutrien Classic Sales Race Series 3Yo Pacing Colts & Geldings Heat 2
The marble has fallen perfectly for NSW Derby winner HOLLYWOOD STRIP (1). He has had seven weeks off since taking his record to 10 from 11 by beating older horses in the Wagga Cup but has been kept up to the mark with an easy trial win. Has won both visits to this circuit and is hard to go past from the ace draw. ANDRETTI (3) switches from NZ where he has been competitive in good company. Now with Jason Grimson and draws to play a role. CARDIGAN DAN (8) has had a month off since a last-start placing and easily won his other two starts at Melton this time in. Draws out was kept ticking over with trial win. ROMEO (4) jumps in class off his winning return at Geelong but ha some upside.

Coming off three weeks break. Last appeared in New Zealand when 11th (Fr5) over 2700m at Alexandra Park, beaten 65 m by Jumal (3:20.90) in 3yo on May 1 at $10.70. Former Kiwi now with Jason Grimson and can make an immediate impact.

Last start 4th (Fr1) over 1609m at Menangle, at the bell was 3rd-5.14 beaten 2.25 m by Wheres My Reason (1:52.70) in 3yo NR up to 60 on May 14 at $81. Two runs back won by 1.1 m as favourite (Sr2) at Newcastle (1:58.00) beating Wat On Earth in MAIDEN on May 1 at $2.70 at the bell was 2nd-1.64. Not keen on his chances in this line-up.

Been racing well and showed plenty of improvement following May 5 run. Last start won by 10 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr2) at Newcastle (1:53.00) beating Lachies Gamble in NR up to 53 on May 15 at $1.75. This race will be harder than that win. Others make more appeal.

Registered three wins at his last three starts. Last start won by 10 m as favourite (Sr1) at Globe Derby Park (2:08.50) beating Tonkawaikon in NR 58 to 69 on April 25 at $1.55. Hard to leave out on current form. Deserves some respect off a string of wins.
