Wagga Race 8 - Tasco Petroleum Pace
MELATI BOY (9) showed good improvement when second-up at this circuit and distance last time, racing parked as favourite and sticking on well to finish runner-up, beaten 1.5 metres. Can travel in a nice spot from this draw and wait on the sprint lane if necessary. Building in fitness so can go one better. JUNGLE SHARK (1) is ticking along okay having finished fourth in her last two outings here. Should get every chance from the ace draw. SHEZ BETTORS BABE (4) disappointed last time but was good when runner-up at this circuit and distance prior so is capable of better. EMIKO (10) could play a role in a race like this if things go his way from the second line.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after a quick start, behind Arklow at this track over 1740m on May 5 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Girl Just Fly at this track over 1740m on June 16 at $1.60. Heading the right way and is a leading player.
