Wagga Race 2

Welcome Lane & Riley Mtc Trainee Track Curators Mdn Plate

Stake: $30,780

No spoils here but HOLD THIS (4) looks set to break through. Has just missed in his two runs to date when well supported, last time gifting the leader too much rope before driving hard late to make it close. Peaking now and keeps McDougall. Clearly the one to beat. UNDERCUT (10) makes his stable debut for the Brisbourne camp and while he showed little in his first two starts, he looks to have come on nicely during the break, scoring stylishly in a recent Tatura trial. Drawn well and is a chance to trouble the favourite. HOT TODDY (5) finds it hard to break the maiden but has competitive efforts scattered through his form. His last run before the break was a minor placing here in a strong maiden, so he can sneak into the frame. CALPASTATIN (7) was doing his best work late when resuming into third here. A likely improver worth including.

Second run back. First-up after a year 7th of 9 at Bathurst Mdn on November 15 over 1300m, slow going 4.5 len behind Casino Sting with 58kg at $51. Previously second-up ran last of 9 at Gundagai Ctry Mdn on November 16 2024 over 1000m, 9 len behind Captain Nay carrying 57.5kg at $61. Can't entertain.

Second-up made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 11 at Albury Mdn-Sw on November 24 over 1175m, 0.6 len behind Raiderlicious carrying 59kg at $2.15. Destined to break through soon.

Gelding back from a spell of ten weeks. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last preparation third of 9 at this track Ctry Mdn September 29 over 1400m, soft track; 1.3 len behind Azzucca with 58kg at $5.50. First up last campaign fifth of 12 at Gundagai Mdn-Sw September 7 over 1400m, soft track; 3.5 len behind Straandstorm carrying 59kg at $3.80. Finds it hard to break through but can sneak into the frame off short break.

Second run back. First-up after five months 3rd of 9 at this track Mdn-Sw on November 29 over 1200m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Demi God with 57.5kg at $8. Previously second-up ran on strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 10 at Wagga Riverside Mdn on May 24 over 1065m, in the wet; 4 len behind The Bay Fox carrying 55.5kg at $12. Likely improver that can earn another minor finish.

Jumped at long odds at debut, eased back early on 7th of 9 at this track Mdn-Sw on November 29 over 1200m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Demi God with 57.5kg at $31. Doubt the blinkers improve him enough to feature.
