Wedderburn Race 7

Loddon Shire Wedderburn Pacing Cup

Prize Money: $15,000

RAGING WHITEBAIT (6) continued a solid run of recent form when he scored at his latest appearance over 2200m at Ballarat, getting home by a head. Big chance based on those recent efforts. WESTERN SONADOR (8) comes here following a fourth behind Kanena Provlima at Group Three level two weeks ago over 2690m at Shepparton. Looms as a serious challenger. RAKERO SLAMMER (7) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at Ballarat over 2200m. GO AWAY AGAIN (2) has a good draw and is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 5 metres at Swan Hill over 1750m.

Didn't do much at the last run, was well back in the run when 8th (Fr7) over 1750m after racing wide at Swan Hill, beaten 18 m by Feel The Reign (2:04.10) in NR 56 to 62 on January 19 at $26. Before that was well back in the run when 5th (Fr6) over 1750m at Swan Hill, at the bell was 7th-12.3m on the pegs beaten 4 m by Marty The Martian (2:04.80) in NR 56 to 62 on January 5 at $10. Draws the inside but it has been a long while between drinks so happy to overlook.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fourth behind Tango Tara at Bendigo over 1650m in a No NR on January 4 at $12. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Exotic Bushranger at Ballarat over 2200m in a No NR on January 18 at $8.50. Can improve. Will be right in the thick of things.
