Wagga Race 4 - Carnival Of Cups 6 November 2yo Pace
WICKED MOTION (1) has taken on tougher opposition in the Breeders Challenge series in each of his three starts this time in, coming from wider barriers in the last two outings in the city after resuming with a placing from the back line at Bathurst. Has both a class drop and the ace draw in his favour. CAPTAINS BANDIT (9) is another that has been tackling the Breeders Challenge series, his best result a fourth two back at Menangle. His lone career win came at this circuit and distance and he draws to track the top pick early so looks dangerous. HES A DANCER (10) led and faded when fifth here last time out but his best form measures right up here. Player with even luck from the back line. PLUTOPHOBIA (5) is open to improvement off a debut second.

Finding that maiden win elusive. Last start was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr7) over 1609m at Menangle, at the bell was 8th-16.7 beaten 18 m by Disturbance (1:53.70) in 2yo on October 17 at $23. At the previous start 7th (Fr7) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 25 m by Tuapeka Gold (1:53.20) in 2yo on October 6 at $10. Better placed and has strong claims from the ace draw.

Having her second run back from a spell. Good run despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr6) over 1710m at Goulburn, at the bell was 2nd-3.6 beaten 15 m by Start Cheering (2:03.90) in 2yo on October 19 at $6. Will improve with that run under the belt. Maybe a place.

Last start was well back in the run when 8th (Fr6) over 1609m at Menangle was 6th-11.74 at the bell, beaten 19 m by Disturbance (1:53.70) in 2yo on October 17 at $61. Before that, 4th (Fr2) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 20 m by Tuapeka Gold (1:53.20) in 2yo on October 6 at $11. This is easier so watch for a spike in form.
