Wagga (H) Race 4

Nutrien Equine Nsw Breeders Challenge Western Region 2Yo Colts And Geldings Final (Listed Classic)

Prize Money: $30,000

LEXY (4) added to a string of wins or placings when third to a promising rival in the Listed Tatlow Stakes at Menangle last week. Led there so has the speed to push forward and has yet to miss the top-three in six tries at this distance, winning three. Top chance. UPTOWN CHANCE (6) was 2m in front of LEXY when runner-up in the Tatlow last week and while he draws wider than that rival this time he won over this distance the last time he raced here. Progressing well and looks a big chance. DEMBE (1) was second from the back row in a Vicbred Super Series consolation last start and should get every chance from the ace draw. IM NO TROUBLE (3) worked hard from a wide barrier when runner-up last week. Had won his other two starts, both at this circuit and distance and should enjoy the better draw. AMERIKIN RUNA (5) is in form having made it two wins in a row when he led from a similar barrier and scored easily at this circuit and distance last time. Include.

Racing in great heart. Last start won by 9 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr2) at Bathurst (2:04.80) beating Bettor Brilliance in NR up to 48 on November 26 at $1.08 at the bell was leading 3.05. Draws well so worth including.

Last start good run despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr7) over 1740m at this track, beaten 7 m by Neptunite (2:02.60) in 2yo 2 WINs on November 28 at $5.

Last start was well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind Showmethetanlines at Menangle over 1609m in a 2yo LR No NR CG on November 29 at $2.70. Performed better the start before with a solid effort when 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at Menangle beaten 5 m by Hollywood Strip (1:50.60) in 2yo G1 No NR CG on October 25 at $16. Reliable colt who can go close.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start posted a big 11 m win when quickly away, (Fr6) at this track (2:04.50) beating Emerging Deal in 2yo NR up to 57 on November 21 at $3.20 at the bell was leading 5.5. Hard to leave out on current form. Can measure up again.

Before that was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr5) over 1740m at this track, beaten 3 m by Bondi Lass (2:04.60) in NR up to 47 on October 31 at $5. Must do more.
