Wagga Race 7 - Yirribee Stud Pace
Smart colt MESSAGE BANK (1) will find this easier than his last attempt at Menangle when he drew wide. Scored dominant wins at Bathurst and Goulburn prior. Loves this distance, winning five of six attempts, and the ace draw gives him every chance to return to the winners' list. IDEAL BANDIT (3) recorded back-to-back wins in Victoria then came from the back row and finished third last start at this circuit and distance, beaten 4.5 metres. Racing well and should enjoy an economical run from this draw. MIKI LOCH (2) draws better than he did last week and was good in winning after racing parked here prior. SHADES OF MIKI (7) draws wide but should find this easier than the last attempt at Melton and recorded back-to-back placings prior, one of them at this circuit and distance.

Failed to impress last start; was well back in the run when 7th (Fr8) over 1609m after being wide early at Menangle beaten 9 m by Enjabonarlo (1:51.40) on May 23 at $5. Showed ability the race before when he won by 16 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr3) at Bathurst (2:43.80) beating Maurlen Boy in on May 6 at $1.22 at the bell was leading 3.45. The ace draw should see him hard to stop.

Didn't do much last time out, was well back in the run when 9th (Fr3) over 2270m at this track, beaten 11 m by Kimcando (2:45.00) on May 15 at $41. Before that 5th (Fr5) over 1760m at Coolamon was 10th-14.4 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Six Again (2:07.80) on April 26 at $41. Will not find this easy. Facing a tough assignment this time around.
