Wagga Race 8 - North Shore Cafe Pace
BANDIT EYES (4) had been out of the money in recent times before getting the job done at his latest appearance over 2190m at Mildura, scoring by 5.5 metres after being up on the pace. Stepping up a level this time but he is good enough to take this out. KIA ORA BEAUTY (10) was responsible for a far better performance last time out when she scored by 4 metres over 1690m at Shepparton. Must raise the bar but another win is not out of the question. SHARP INTEREST (6) is in the mix following a respectable second at her most recent appearance over 1720m at Melton. NO ALIBI NZ (3) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 2270m at this track last time out.

Solid performance when a close second after being driven well back, behind Janie Blu at this track over 2270m on July 31 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind With In Reason at Melton over 1720m on August 8 at $41. Expected to go well again.
