Wagga Race 5 - Nijinsky Standing At Yirribee Stud Pace
FOR ALWAYS ARDEN NZ (2) has switched yards since tackling stronger company at his latest appearance at Penrith. Led and stuck on for a 2m second at Newcastle prior so can be prominent from this low draw. LOMBOK (10) is a capable mare who has put together two wins and two minor placings from four starts this prep. Goes back to the second line but came from this barrier when she scored at this circuit and distance last month. YUKON BE SERIOUS NZ (1) came from a wide barrier last week week but gets the ace draw here so could show her best. SCHEMING (5) draws wider but is worth some thought after her last-start fourth at this venue, beaten just 1.5m.

Recent form below what she is capable of. Last start was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr6) over 2270m at this track was 7th-16.3 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Where Back (2:45.40) on July 17 at $9.50. At the previous start 7th (Fr2) over 1740m at this track, at the bell was 4th-5.6 beaten 16 m by Perfect Stranger (2:02.00) on July 10 at $61. Should get her chance from the ace draw.

Showed ability the run before when he won by a nose (Fr3) at Shepparton (2:42.10) beating American Hammer in on June 30 at $13 at the bell was 4th-6.76. May bounce back.
