Young Race 3 - Riverina Cellars 3yo Pace
WIT WICKEE (9) produced a better effort last start when runner-up at Bathurst, beaten a nose after leading. Draws on the second line this time and may need luck at some point but will be approaching peak fitness fourth up. NEED SOME TIME (8) resumes from a spell of eight months after closing off a short maiden campaign with a win at Canberra. Likely to have developed further with maturity and was readied for the return with a trial win. ROCK SPIRIT (5) is building in fitness and is on the radar after two good efforts off a spell, placing at Wagga fresh before after a last-start fourth when beaten only 2.5m at Leeton a week ago. WINDFIELD BLUE (6) showed pleasing improvement last time out when runner-up at Bathurst last time and can progress further third up.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2.5 m fourth behind King Jimmy at Leeton over 1758m 3yo last start. Before that was beaten 3.5 metres third at Riverina Paceway over 1740m same class on June 23. One of the chances.

Two back was well beaten into ninth after being driven well back, behind Stay Lucky at Dubbo over 1720m in a 3yo on June 12 at $41. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Tiger Jewel at Bathurst over 1730m on July 8 at $10. First four hope.

Resuming after a spell of eight months. Finished off last campaign recording by 4 m when quickly away, (Fr1) at Canberra (2:12.90) beating Machx The Stranger in 2yo on November 30 at $4.80 at the bell was leading 1.1m on the pegs. Tricky draw to overcome but should go well.
