Wagga Race 2 - Nijinsky Standing At Yirribee Stud Pace
HES A DANCER (8) has switched to the Jackson Painting yard since he broke in the Tatlow Stakes at Menangle and was readied with a trial win. Draws wide but showed ability when he won on debut in Brisbane and has tackled stronger company since. Hard to stop with manners. YELLOW RIVER (4) came from the back row to win his maiden two back at Leeton then drew wider and went back last start before chasing solidly for fourth at this venue. Draws lower and has some upside. TUFFASOLDBOOTS (2) draws well and is in the mix after finishing only 3m off the winner from a wider barrier here two back. VIENNA OPERA (6) did a good job to place after working from a wider barrier last start.

Last start was well beaten after breaking at Menangle on August 29. The run prior 10th (Sr1) over 1660m at Albion Park, well beaten by Havtimemajor (1:55.20) in 2yo G1 on July 11 at $26. Big class drop and can make a winning start for the new yard.
