Wagga Race 2 - Nijinsky Standing At Yirribee Stud Pace
BELIEVE IN DREAMS (1) was runner-up from the back line fresh then took advantage of this same draw to lead and salute last start by 7m at Albury. Should enjoy an economical run so could take the next step. MAJOR HAYLEY (6) improved sharply last start to score by 3 metres at Shepparton. Draws a little wider but she has the ability to test this field. MAJOR ISSUES (4) produced a better effort last time out when runner-up at this venue. May play a role again. ISLAND MANDALAY (3) will be fitter and is in the mix following a respectable second from the back row when resuming at Albury.

Last start won by 6 m when quickly away, (Fr1) at Albury (2:13.10) beating Alwaysbdreaming in 3yo on July 21 at $3.20 at the bell was leading 1.9. No reason he cannot get the job done again.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind The Talk at Canberra over 1770m on June 8 at $51. Then a handy effort when a close second after a quick start, behind Sahara Seakret at this track over 1740m on July 17 at $41. Genuine contender in this suitable contest.

Got into a winning position from good draw last time tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; posted a big 4 m win when quickly away, (Fr1) at Albury (2:11.40) beating Island Mandalay in on July 21 at $61 at the bell was 2nd-2.4. Won't find a favourable position this time. Not likely to trouble these.

Finding it hard to put a couple of good runs together. Last start was was well back in the run when 3rd (Fr5) over 1770m after being wide early at Albury beaten 20 m by Majors Creek (2:09.40) on July 21 at $31. Before that beaten 17 metres, fifth at Leeton over 1758m on July 7. Looks to be making up the numbers.
