Race 1. (12:45) Wagga RSL Maiden (1200m)

#9 – Hell of a Fox @ $7.50

Hell of a Fox has drawn wide over 1200m, which isn’t ideal, but she has been getting back and hitting the line well.

That’s what she did at Canberra last time out when running second behind Wild Sensation, and that should be a good form guide.

We’re happy to include her at the current odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (13:20) Toyota Forklifts C3 (1000m)

#6 – Sparklenglitter @ $1.55

Punters must take short odds for Sparklenglitter, but she looks like a promising country type.

The Pat Murphy-trained mare won on debut at Orange before winning by 4.5 lengths at Nowra last start, which is an excellent form guide.

She should win, so include the short odds in multis.

Stake: 4.5 Units

Race 3. (13:55) Gallagher Insurance C1 (1200m)

#3 – Miss Emma @ $11.00

Punters get double-figure odds for Miss Emma, who wasn’t far away when second at Canberra last start.

The four-year-old mare by All Too Hard should enjoy being on the quick back-up after racing last week, and she almost held on to win.

Dropping to 1200m adds to her appeal.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (14:30) JRC Electrical Services MTC Guineas (1600m)

#1 – Fear No Evil @ $3.50

We didn’t expect to see Fear No Evil raceat Wagga after winning at Kyneton and Pakenham before placing at Mornington.

The Waterhouse/Bott stable has found a winnable race on Friday, and the three-year-old gelding could get back to winning form.

He’ll head forward and be tough to run down.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 5. (15:05) Byrne Trailers Queen of the South BM66 (1400m)

#9 – Bon Holler @ $2.45

Bon Holler is already a two-time winner from three starts, and she scored impressively at Wagga last time out.

She won by 2.5 lengths as a $3.50 chance, and we’re not surprised to see her at shorter odds for Friday’s race. We would have been prepared to take around $2.

Money will come for her, so punters should jump on the odds.

Stake: 3 Units

Race 6. (15:40) Walsh & Blair Country Magic BM74 (1200m)

#15 – So You Pence @ $1.75

So You Pence is another runner worth including in multis after destroying the opposition at Goulburn last start.

The five-year-old mare won by 6.8 lengths as a $1.35 chance, and although there is more depth to this field, getting $1.75 is a fair trade off.

She has every chance of putting this field away with ease.

Stake: 5 Units

Race 7. (16:20) Wagga RSL Wagga Gold Cup (2000m)

#10 – Medatsu @ $9.50

We’re opting to stick with Medatsu, despite the Chris Waller-trained runner not showing his best form this season.

We did like his run for fifth at Albury when making ground from the back in a leader-dominated race, so that’s encouraging.

54kg is ideal, and the odds are too juicy to overlook.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 8. (17:00) 000 Plumbing Services BM58 (1300m)

#10 – Tycoon Artie @ $15.00

Value is with Tycoon Artie, who took on an easy field last time out and scored by two lengths.

This is a harder race, but the four-year-old is never too far away from the prize, and he only needs luck from the wide barrier.

The odds make it worth the risk.

Stake: 1 Unit
