Wagga Race 5 - Walsh & Blair Lawyers 3yo Colts & Geldings Pace
UPTOWN CHANCE (10) enjoyed the class drop from Menangle when he raced parked before drawing away to score by 9 metres a fortnight ago, taking his strike rate at this circuit and distance to 50 per cent. Draws on the back line this time but with even luck he can make it two on the bounce. ROCKY ROCKS (5) resumes off a string of top-two finishes including a Charlton win two back and a second behind a handy rival when last seen at Shepparton in January. Readied with two trials, winning the latest. Expecting a bright start to the campaign. ISLAND YANKEE (4) looks close to a win having placed in his last three outings and is suited returning to a circuit and distance where he has recorded a win and three placings in four attempts. SET PLAY (9) draws for a trail and was good last time out when he came from a wide barrier to finish third at this venue.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Interestinme at Shepparton over 2190m on May 12 at $3.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Teddy Lou at this track over 1740m on May 29 at $8. Nicely drawn and deserves respect.

Last start tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; posted a big 11 m win (Sr1) at Kilmore (2:45.70) beating Bungy in 3yo on June 4 at $17 at the bell was 3rd-3.29. Has some upside and could take another step forward.

Two back was well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind Uptown Chance at this track over 1740m in a 3yo on May 29 at $7.50. Then a handy effort when a close second after being driven well back, behind Katie Lorraine at Warragul over 2210m on June 8 at $6. In fine form. Working up to a win.

Three-year-old gelding facing the starter for the second time. At debut was well beaten after breaking at this track on June 2. Might find this beyond him.

Last start failed to finish when he ran at this track on June 2 over 1740m. Before that, a good run despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr5) over 1740m after being wide early at this track, beaten 4 m by Jay Cee Maxwell (2:06.10) on May 15 at $3.50. May feature with manners.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind Brooklyn Dan at this track over 2270m in a 3yo CG on May 22 at $151. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Miki Sing at this track over 1740m on June 2 at $41. Nice effort last time. Forward performance expected.
