Wagga Race 2 - Mataranka Park Standardbreds Pace
SYENITE (9) has been producing some good efforts at Menangle of late, beaten 3.6 metres into third last week. Should enjoy a pretty soft run from this draw and the sprint lane is in play. Big chance. BOLANALONG (1) was held up from the back row here last week but was good in working for a minor placing at Leeton prior. He is well served by the ace draw. DANCINGONSTARLIGHT (5) produced a better effort last time out when she did some work but stuck on well as runner-up at Echuca. Should be close to peak fitness now. JILLIBY SAFFRON (10) may need some luck from the back row but is hard to knock having recorded two wins and two placings from the last four outings.

Didn't do much last time out, 7th (Fr2) over 1740m at this track, beaten 30 m by Trouble In Heaven (2:02.40) on July 10 at $41. Before that 9th (Fr6) over 1740m at this track, beaten 30 m by Captain Jazz (2:04.10) on June 26 at $51. Hard to make a case.
