Wagga (G) Race 6

Happy Birthday Benny

Prize Money: $2,310

BETTY BONKERS (5) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, finishing in the money last time when 2nd at this track over 320m. One of the contenders. ZIPPING TAMIKA (6) had been in super honest form hitting the frame three times on end before finishing fourth (30.61) at Wentworth Park last time. Worth another chance. MAGIC ECLIPSE (8) was strongly supported last start when a short priced favourite and duly saluted winning by 3 lengths at this track in a handy 23.34. Draws out wide but in form and has the ability. Capable of going well again. WEST END RIOT (7) must be included in calculations.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (19.25) at big odds over 320m at this track. Aided by a low draw and in the mix on her best form.

Good effort to win last start by 1.75 lengths over 500m at Bendigo in a handy (28.49), beating Gold Venom. Will find this a bit tougher, prepared to risk this time.

Looks close to another win after her success on July 18 at this track over 320m. Last start was second over 320m in 18.79, behind Fuel Injected. Found one better last time. Well placed and worth following up.

Missed the frame latest (30.61) when fourth over 520m at Wentworth Park in a Grade 5. Has performed well off the draw with a win and three places from eight starts. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Was out of placings last time (19.26) at Temora in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Has ability and should be around the money.
