Wagga Race 2 - Thomas Brothers Showcase (Bm74)
IT IS TO BE (5) caught the eye two back at Bathurst when finishing with a head of steam. Is on a quick turnaround after a solid second over this trip at Bathurst. Ticking along nicely. MR TADASHI (1) failed to live up to expectations here last time when only managing fourth after being sent out fav, marking his first miss over this track and trip from four attempts. Had saluted with a hat-trick of wins here prior. Easy to forgive. WINNING POINT (2) finished third last start over the mile at Nowra when she did her best work late. Building the right way and could relish the rise in trip fourth-up. Genuine hope. VALENTINE JOHN (3) can also play a role if he holds his form.

Returns from a 39-day let-up. At the latest run sat on the pace when 2nd of 12 in a Bm58 at Grafton on July 19 over 3120m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Legs Power with 61kg at $16. The start before that ran last of 11 in the LR Grafton Cup on July 16 over 2350m, 26 len behind King Pedro carrying 54.5kg at $201. Not far away last time. Just needs to hold his form to play a role in the finish.
