Wagga Race 5 - Yabby Dam Farms 3yo Pace
BAY OF FIRES (6) won at Kilmore two runs ago but couldn't repeat the dose at his latest appearance over 1690m at Shepparton, beaten 6 metres. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of a return to winning ways. WHERE IT BEGAN (11) made it two wins from two runs this prep at his latest appearance over 1770m at Albury, scoring by 5.5 metres after taking charge a long way from home. Draws out a little on the second line and may need luck at some point. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. HESOURCELEBRITY (4) is close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a second over 1740m at this track. Great chance to break through. AFTERSHOCK (7) disappointed last time but is a chance based on a good win over 1740m at this track two runs back.

Last start 7th (Sr3) over 2100m at Young beaten 23 m by Papier Mache (2:38.30) in 3yo on August 18 at $31. At the run before surrendered the lead and finished 9th (Fr2) over 1609m after showing early speed at Newcastle, beaten 30 m by Couldnt Catch Him (1:55.60) on July 27 at $5.50. Drawn favourably and is worth another chance.

Last start was well back in the run when 6th (Fr4) over 1740m after showing early speed and racing wide at this track was 7th-10.1 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Imon (2:05.50) in 3yo on August 21 at $19. Two runs back was well beaten after breaking at this track on August 14. Not keen.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.75 m second behind Imon at this track over 1740m 3yo last start. Before that was beaten 2.25 metres second again at this track same class on August 7. Best performances should see him go well again.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr6) over 1780m after being wide early at Redcliffe beaten 7 m by Western Bill (2:08.30) in 3yo+ on July 29 at $21. Two runs back broke in score up and was out of position at the start hung in on scoring up, 8th (Fr6) over 1780m at Redcliffe, beaten 80 m by Ynobe Nova (2:09.50) in 3yo+ on July 22 at $7.50. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.
