Wagga Race 4

Zatoma Transport Masters

Prize Money: $2,310

TIGGERLONG RUBY (8) hit the frame in a Grade 5 two back then found trouble and failed to finish at Nowra last time before a six months spell. Suited here and worth another try fresh. TALAKAI (2) boasts a strong record this journey here with 12 wins and seven minors from 30 tries. In the money last time at Temora (19.19) in a Mix 2/3, finishing a one length third. Among the main chances. TOM YUM (1) was safely held last time out, finishing eighth at Wentworth Park over 520m behind Ritza Duane (31.21) in a Grade 5. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. One of the main contenders. SHIMA SNAKE (7) can sneak into the finish with the right run. Something for the Multiples: PONZI (6)

Resumes from a three-and-a-half months spell and was a fresh up winner last time in, scoring over 400m at this track. Sure to make his presence felt.

Hit the frame latest (19.19) when third at Temora in a Mix 2/3. Yet to miss the placings in nine runs from this box, including five wins. Looks a leading chance.
