Wagga Race 5 - Riverina Crane Services Pace
SUSPICIOUS CAPTAIN NZ (8) is a newcomer to the powerhouse Jason Grimson yard from NZ where he was a winner four back at Ashburton. Draws out but won his lone attempt at this distance and looks nicely placed. SOHO PLAYGIRL (9) overcame a wide barrier and scored by 2.7 metres at this circuit and distance last time, the third win from her past five runs. Can settle just behind them and wait on the sprint lane. Danger. EXOTIC CHESTER (2) has come from wider draws in both outings since a fresh placing from this barrier at Ballarat. NASANA NZ (6) owns a good record at this circuit and distance and can measure up with her A-game.

Resumes today. At the latest first-up run 6th (Fr4) over 1740m after being wide early at this track, beaten 12 m by Im Harvey Specter (2:06.70) on August 29 2025 at $41. Might need this run and others better.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start 6th (Sr3) over 1740m at West Wyalong was 9th-22.5 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Sweet Dreams (2:06.30) in 4yo+ on October 25 at $11. The run before was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr6) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 22 m by Gunna Reload (1:53.10) in 4yo on October 17 at $51. Better than last start and deserves another chance.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after a quick start, behind Soho Playgirl at this track over 1740m on October 23 at $18. Then a handy effort when a close third after showing early speed, behind Bettors Hope at this track over 1740m on October 30 at $4.60. Progressing well. Expected to go well again.
