Wagga Race 8 - Yabby Dam Farms Pace
NIFTY AMBITION (6) is in good form and looks close to a win having finished second at his latest appearance at Albury, beaten 2.3 metres after leading. Draws wider but looks a leading hope in this line-up. MELATI BOY (7) was solid when coming from the back line for fourth last start at Albury. Draws wide but will be reaching peak fitness now so expecting a very good run. SPREAD THE FEAR (4) draws better than last start and had placed in the previous three outings so could bounce back. CANT HEAR YOU (10) is good enough to feature if things go his way from the back row.

Last start was well back in the run when 9th (Fr6) over 1770m at Albury, beaten 25 m by Cresco Threepeat (2:13.70) on July 21 at $31. Two runs back broke in score up and was out of position at the start 9th (Sr1) over 1758m at Leeton, beaten 35 m by Valentini (2:10.10) on January 1 at $7.50. Sure to be thereabouts.

Last start was well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind Lessismore at this track over 1740m on July 17 at $81. Raced better the start before that with a game effort when 3rd (Sr3) over 1758m at Leeton was 2nd-1.3 at the bell, beaten a head by Life Gets Better (2:12.90) on July 7 at $1.90. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.

Didn't do much last start, was well back in the run when 6th (Fr5) over 1740m at this track, at the bell was 7th-14.1 beaten 13 m by Geoffrey Bee (2:03.50) on July 17 at $101. Before that was well back in the run when 7th (Fr4) over 1758m after being wide early at Leeton, beaten 40 m by Girl Just Fly (2:10.50) on July 7 at $5.50. This looks too tough.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after showing early speed, behind Girl Just Fly at Leeton over 1758m on July 7 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Cresco Threepeat at Albury over 1770m on July 21 at $4.60. Well placed to go one better.
