Wagga Race 7 - Stroud Homes Waratah Heat
ALABAMA LIONESS (4) finished fourth last start over 1720m at Young, beaten 4 metres, after a good win at Young the run prior. Big chance if anywhere near her best. LESSISMORE (2) finished third last start over 1720m at Young, beaten 3 metres. Best recent result was a win at this track three starts ago. Has the benefit of a good draw. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. THE GREAT WAVE (3) is better than her first-up tenth over 1720m at Young a week-and-a-half ago. Each-way claims. ALWAYS BE BRENDAN (7) is in the mix following a sixth at his first run back over 1720m at Young.

Last start 6th (Fr3) over 1770m after showing early pace at Albury was 4th-5.2 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Stinson (2:14.00) on August 11 at $9. Two runs back 2nd (Fr1) over 1720m at Young was 3rd-6.7 at the bell, beaten 11 m by Alabama Lioness (2:04.90) on August 4 at $21. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing eighth behind Hezaflashone at this track over 1740m on July 31 at $31. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Pukunui Beach at Young over 1720m in a 4yo+ on August 18 at $10. With even luck is a winning chance.

Last start 10th (Fr4) over 1720m after racing wide at Young, at the bell was 2nd-0.27 beaten 14 m by Pukunui Beach (2:08.40) in 4yo+ on August 18 at $5.50. Two runs back 9th (Fr2) over 1609m after showing early pace at Menangle, beaten 25 m by Princess Mickayla (1:54.90) in M on October 27 at $14. Will take a lot from that run; major player.

Better than recent form suggests; great chance to bounce back.
