Wagga racing tips

—

Race 1. (13:50) Wild West Bundaberg Rum Maiden (1600m)

#8 – Ring of Fire @ $2.50

BET NOW

Money has come for Ring of Fire, who looks to cap off two placings with an overdue maiden win.

The three-year-old son of North Pacific has three placings from five starts, including two placings at Wagga, so track form stands out.

Take the $2.50 available with bookmakers.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 2. (14:25) Wagga Gold Cup Carnival on Sale Maiden (1200m)

#4 – Just Hear Me Out @ $5.50

BET NOW

Looking to improve on a fresh up second placing is Just Hear Me Out, who ran a much-improved placing at Albury.

The three-year-old son of Microphone is heading in the right direction after a tough first prep, and there isn’t much depth to this race.

We expect him to be right around the finish.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 3. (15:00) Long Lunch in Grandview Maiden (1000m)

#1 – Rogue Nation @ $4.20

BET NOW

It always pays to take note of a Danny Williams debut runner, so we’re backing Rogue Nation to win.

The four-year-old son of Unite and Conquer has been patiently handled after placing in a trial at Goulburn, which isn’t a bad thing.

Support has come, which is another good sign.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (15:35) Thank You Kooringal Rotary BM58 (1600m)

#6 – Think I Do @ $3.00

BET NOW

The four-year-old mare by So You Think is bred to be better than this field, and she went close when second at Sapphire Coast last time out.

She owns two wins and two placings from 10 start, and she has yet to finish worse than second in two attempts at the distance.

The stats are in her favour, so put her on top.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 5. (16:10) Welcome Club Sponsors BM62 (1000m)

#5 – Christmas Star @ $3.90

BET NOW

Boasting three placings from her last four starts is Christmas Star, who is deserving of an overdue win.

The four-year-old mare by Star Turn owns four placings from five starts at Wagga, so she loves the track, and a win is just around the corner.

Getting the inside draw is ideal, so take the $3.90.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 6. (16:50) SDRA Evergreen C4 (1200m)

#11 – Gooloo Bucky @ $9.50

BET NOW

Paul Murray lines up Gooloo Bucky, who won at Nowra two back before placing at Kembla Grange last time out.

The four-year-old son of Ready for Victory gets in light with 55kg, and that’s enough to see him be competitive at this level.

Money has come for him, so there is market confidence.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (17:30) SDRA BM58 (1400m)

#8 – Belnera @ $4.00

BET NOW

Gunning for three consecutive wins is Belnera, who loves running at Wagga after posting two wins and two placings.

The daughter of So You Think scored by a nose over 1600m last start when beating Menzah One, so the form should hold up well.

Punters get each-way odds worth taking.

Stake: 1 Unit
