Wagga Race 5 - Steel Supplies Pace
IM BUTTER BLUE (3) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish just a head away in second at this circuit and distance. Draws lower and should be close to peak fitness third up. ISLAND YANKEE (4) was good when coming from wider to continue a run of top-four finishes last week. Hard to knock the consistency and has winning claims from a better draw. BELIEVE IN DREAMS (9) registered his second win from the past five appearances last start when he found the lead and did well to go on and score by 3.3 metres at this circuit and distance. Should enjoy a pretty soft run with the sprint lane in play. Include. THE GREAT WAVE (6) finished fifth in a higher-graded race last start after a good win at this circuit and distance. Better placed so respect.
