Wagga Race 5 - Pete Murray @ Carnival Of Cups Pace
DANCINGONSTARLIGHT (5) turned in a much better run last time out when she scored by a head over 1740m at this track. Meets a similar line up so she can add to the strong recent effort. UNCLE CRAIGO (1) registered a strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1770m at Albury. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets a comparable field and he is a strong winning hope. MAJORS CREEK (10) is better than her last-start tenth over 1609m at Menangle suggests. Has place prospects. BURTON (2) is next best and gets every chance from a favourable draw.

Last start 8th (Sr3) over 1720m at Young, at the bell was 6th-7.2 beaten 11 m by Pukunui Beach (2:08.40) in 4yo+ on August 18 at $23. At her previous start solid effort when 2nd (Fr1) over 1770m after showing early speed at Albury, at the bell was 3rd-4 beaten a head by Stinson (2:14.00) on August 11 at $2.40. Closer draw this time so worth another chance.
