Wagga Race 8

Congratulations Cattlewash 2025/26 Book Full Pace

Prize Money: $9,792

DIAMOND ECLIPSE (8) hasn't been too far away from the placings in the last two outings at Melton and won three in a row prior, two of them here. Draws deep but should enjoy the return to this circuit. ZENXENA (6) won from a similar barrier to this at Menangle two starts ago before coming from the back row to be beaten less than 5m at her latest appearance here. Primary contender. ITZBUDDHA (5) is a progressive gelding who has been hard to fault of late. Scored here two back then backed it up last time at Menangle. Could land the hat trick. JIMMY JAMES MAGUIRE (7) draws wide but must be considered after he finished runner-up here a week ago.

Failed to impress last start; was well beaten after breaking at this track on August 29. Showed ability the run before when he won by 2 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr4) at this track (2:02.70) beating Just As Well in NR up to 63 on August 22 at $3.40. In the mix from a good draw.

Comments

Last start was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr6) over 2240m after being wide early at Melton, at the bell was 7th-10.7 beaten 12 m by Fox Dan (2:41.10) in NR 75 to 89 on August 30 at $13. Before that, 5th (Fr2) over 1720m after showing early pace at Melton beaten 12 m by War Dan Buddy (1:59.70) in NR up to 105 on August 16 at $27. Rates highly. Will relish the return to a circuit where his record is strong.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
