Wagga Race 2 - Don Inwood Memorial
OUR GLADIATOR (6) returned from a break in very good order last start when successful over 1770m at Canberra on May 4, getting home by a nose. Meets a comparable field and he can salute once again. ALL SO SASSY (5) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 8 metres from the winner in second over 1740m at this track. Big chance based on recent form. JUNGLE SHARK (1) is on the radar after her last-start fourth over 1740m here two weeks ago. Include in calculations. LITTLE COOL (2) is worth another chance after a last-start ninth over 1740m at this course two weeks ago. Can bounce back from the more favourable draw.

Last start 4th (Fr6) over 1740m at this track was 9th-15.1 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Bidgee Babe (2:08.90) on May 19 at $10. Before that, a good run when 3rd (Fr4) over 1770m after showing early speed at Albury, at the bell was 3rd-3 beaten 6 m by Secrets Kept (2:13.70) on May 1 at $8. Sure to be there at the business end.

Failed to impress last start; 9th (Sr2) over 1740m at this track beaten 35 m by The Banker (2:06.50) on May 19 at $61. Showed ability the race before when he won by a nose (Fr7) at this track (2:07.40) beating Nottadoubt in on May 5 at $17. Will make his presence felt.

Last start 10th (Sr1) over 1740m at this track, beaten 60 m by The Banker (2:06.50) on May 19 at $15. Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 2nd (Fr7) over 1740m at this track, beaten 1.75 m by Arklow (2:06.70) on May 5 at $11. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Two back was fifth behind Spring Delight at this track over 1740m on April 24 at $61. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Bidgee Babe at this track over 1740m on May 19 at $3.50. One of the key runners.

At the run before was well back in the run when 7th (Fr5) over 1770m after being wide early at Albury, beaten 22 m by Goodtime Jazzi (2:11.90) on May 1 at $7. Better than last start and can improve sharply.
