Wagga Race 9 - Thank You Hrnsw Pace
STAY ALPHA (5) settled handy and finished well to grab third last start over 1740m at this track, that effort coming on the back of a sixth at Shepparton the run before. Tackles a similar assignment and he can find winning ways. EX ELLE (6) lines up for the first time. By Warrawee Needy and hails from the C L Rauchenberger stable. Placed in a recent trial. Will be right there at the business end. UNDENIABLY NEEDY (7) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1740m here. Ready to peak now third-up from the break. ALICES SWEETHEART NZ (2) should not have any excuses from the favourable draw and looks one for the multiples.

Last start 8th (Sr1) over 1740m at this track beaten 11 m by Jay Cee Maxwell (2:06.10) on May 15 at $6. At the run before 4th (Fr3) over 1740m at this track was 6th-9.1 at the bell, beaten 6 m by The King Oftheroad (2:09.50) on May 8 at $14. Better than last start and can improve sharply from the low draw.

Last start 7th (Fr1) over 1770m at Albury, beaten 30 m by Our Ultimate Jane (2:10.90) on May 1 at $21.
