Wagga Race 6 - Carnival Of Cups Next Friday 3yo Colts & Geldings Pace
ROM BARO (7) drew on the back row and worked but fought well for second at his most recent outing here, beaten a head. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position but he strokes at 50 per cent at this shorter distance and is up to winning this with even luck. IMON NZ (8) enjoys a class drop after tackling the West Wyalong Cup last start. Toughed out a win at this circuit and distance prior so deserves another chance despite a wide draw. THE WICKED WARRIOR (1) was a beaten favourite when midfield here last start but did have to work. Good when a close second from the second row two back and is well served by the ace draw. SET PLAY (6) had little luck last start but won from a similar barrier here prior so is worth another chance.

Two back was well beaten into eleventh after being driven well back, behind Brooklyn Dan at Melton over 2760m in a 3yo on October 10 at $151. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Elka Angel at this track over 2270m in a 3yo on October 23 at $3.20. Strong claims.

Last start was well beaten into eighth behind Champagne Walsh at West Wyalong over 2540m on October 18 at $13. Performed better the start before where he won by a head as favourite when quickly away, (Fr4) at this track (2:01.70) beating Im No Trouble in 3yo on October 9 at $2.30 at the bell was 4th-5.5. Draws wide but is suited coming back in grade.
