Winner6. Reds ExpressSP $2.35
★ Top pickWon
6Reds Express

Our price $3.00 · SP $2.35 · S Guymer

Reds Express is the most reliable form runner in a moderate country maiden. She has placed in seven of 15 starts and comes off a close third at Forbes, with a pattern of racing on the speed. Wagga's heavy-track statistics reward forward runners and her inside draw helps offset earlier wide-barrier failures here.

2nd pick6th
4The Buncha

Our price $4.50 · SP $3.30 · Brittany Button

With no exposed form, the assessment relies on stable confidence, tongue-tie gear, and a field lacking depth.

3rd pick4th
2Phenomenorm

Our price $6.50 · SP $7.00 · B Vale

Phenomenorm improved sharply when resuming, sitting on the speed and hitting the front before finishing third at Swan Hill. He steps up second-up with an inside draw, which is a positive at Wagga where on-pace runners dominate. The main queries are a lack of heavy-track experience and a poor overall jockey/trainer record, but the recent form pattern is the strongest career signal.

Value pick7th
7Boann

Our price $8.00 · SP $13.00 · Jean Van Overmeire

Boann is the value runner: a first starter from a good inside barrier with one of Wagga's best jockeys engaged.

13:35 local2000mBenchmark 74$30,000
Winner1. Mr TadashiSP $2.50
★ Top pickWon
1Mr Tadashi

Our price $2.50 · SP $2.50 · J Penza

Mr Tadashi is the clear form horse, having won three straight staying races at Wagga on Heavy before a solid 4th in this grade last start. He maps ideally from barrier 2, is proven on the surface and at the track/distance, and Jeff Penza retains the ride. The 59kg is a query but his record under pressure and on-pace pattern make him the most likely winner.

2nd pick3rd
5It Is To Be

Our price $5.50 · SP $3.90 · Dale Cole

It Is To Be has genuine wet-track credentials, including a 2200m Heavy win, and has already run second over this Wagga 2000m trip. Maps midfield and will need luck, but his consistency and heavy-track profile make him the principal danger.

3rd pick4th
2Winning Point

Our price $6.50 · SP $4.00 · Matt Kirk

Winning Point appeals as a place chance rather than a win pick. The booking is a concern and her 2000m record is winless, but from barrier 1 with only 55kg she should be in the finish if reproducing her best form.

Value pick2nd
7Sorry Sunshine

Our price $9.00 · SP $12.00 · Molly Bourke

He has strong Heavy credentials and ran third in the race Mr Tadashi won at this track and distance. The class rise and poor recent form are concerns, yet the 4kg weight turnaround from that formline and extensive Wagga affinity give him genuine each-way value.

Winner8. Nikita ZouSP $3.70
★ Top pick2nd
3Hellfighter

Our price $4.00 · SP $4.40 · Ms C Keatings

Hellfighter is the most reliable form line in this weak maiden. He has placed in three of his last six starts and the gear change can only help. While he remains a maiden after 11 runs, this is a very winnable country race and he maps favourably from barrier 7.

2nd pickWon
8Nikita Zou

Our price $5.00 · SP $3.70 · Jean Van Overmeire

Nikita Zou is improving sharply, finishing third at 1410m on a Soft 7 before stepping up again. She has placed in two of three soft-track runs and gets a significant jockey upgrade to Jean Van Overmeire, who rides Wagga well. The knock is no heavy-track experience, but her low weight and upward trajectory make her the best threat to the top pick. She should be closing off strongly.

3rd pick6th
7Brilliant Bull Ant

Our price $6.00 · SP $2.80 · C J Parish

However, his three heavy starts have failed to produce a placing and he has not won from 12 attempts, which tempers confidence.

Value pick5th
10Distant Stripes

Our price $13.00 · SP $11.00 · B Vale

Distant Stripes is a serial placegetter with six thirds from 13 starts, including three thirds on Wagga heavy tracks. That wet-track reliability is exactly what this race demands. Each-way value is warranted, with the place leg offering the safer play.

Winner5. Certain EclipseSP $3.90
★ Top pick5th
14Petroula

Our price $6.00 · SP $7.00 · S Guymer

Petroula offers strong form claims in a moderate Maiden. Her last-start second on a Heavy 9 at Albury was a career-best and she drops 4kg from that run. She maps to be prominent, which is vital on the Wagga Heavy circuit. The wide draw is a worry, but her ability to roll forward and low weight give her every chance to go one better.

2nd pick2nd
6Snitzel Tycoon

Our price $7.00 · SP $2.80 · C J Parish

Snitzel Tycoon is the wildcard with genuine upside. She has placed in both career starts, both on Heavy ground, and is expected to appreciate the step to 1200m as a third-run filly. Cory Parish's hot form is another positive. Her lack of experience and distance query keep her behind the two more established chances, but she is a clear place threat.

999th pickScratched
1Time For Snow

Our price $4.00

Time For Snow is the most reliable winning chance despite being a maiden. His Wagga record includes a narrow second over this trip, and his consistent run of placings before a spell suggests he is ready to strike. The main concerns are his 0-from-14 strike rate and limited Heavy evidence, but this is a very winnable provincial Maiden.

★ Top pick7th
6Rubi Air

Our price $5.00 · SP $11.00 · Jean Van Overmeire

Rubi Air is the strongest form/conditions fit. Her Heavy record reads 1-2-0 from three attempts, she is proven over 1200m with four wins, and she arrives in consistent wet-track form with a win and a placing in her last two soft-track outings. The inside barrier and 55kg give her every chance to settle handy, while Jean Van Overmeire's 24% strike rate at Wagga is a positive.

2nd pick6th
8Bessie La Belle

Our price $6.00 · SP $9.00 · Ella Bent

Bessie La Belle is a genuine heavy-track specialist with three wins from seven starts on heavy ground, including a Wagga 1200m win. She drops to 53kg and maps well from barrier 6 on a track that favours forward runners.

3rd pick3rd
3Canny Hell

Our price $6.50 · SP $2.15 · Brittany Button

The main reservations are the 180-day layoff and Brittany Button's quiet recent form. He can feature, but his wet-track win credibility is inferior to the top two selections.

Value pickWon
7Gooloo Bucky

Our price $7.00 · SP $4.80 · C Lever

Gooloo Bucky is the value runner. He has already won at Wagga over 1200m and on Heavy at Moruya, and his second-up record of 2 wins from 4 suggests he can improve sharply on a first-up failure. Removing the cross-over nose band and pacifiers may help him settle from barrier 5.

Winner5. Blow On The DiceSP $2.60
★ Top pick6th
2Desert Opal

Our price $4.50 · SP $6.00 · Brittany Button

Desert Opal has the strongest wet-track profile in the race, winning all three career starts on heavy ground including a last-start 1600m BM58 on Heavy9 at Albury. Barrier 2, fitness, and a proven jockey/horse partnership offset the lack of a Wagga win.

2nd pickWon
5Blow On The Dice

Our price $5.00 · SP $2.60 · Pierre Boudvillain

Blow On The Dice is a genuine wet-track performer who has been racing consistently through winter, placing in his last three starts on Heavy9 and Heavy10 surfaces. He maps well from barrier 4 in a fast-run 1600m contest and should be strong at the finish. The knock is his lack of recent wins and 0-for-3 record at the mile, but his heavy-track reliability makes him a solid place and each-way hope.

3rd pick5th
4Royaltown

Our price $7.00 · SP $6.00 · Brodie Loy

His provincial form is encouraging and barrier 1 helps, but he is being asked to do something he has never done before on a rain-affected track. He rates as a place chance rather than the main winning hope, with the wet-proven runners preferred on top.

Value pick9th
8Perfectly Good

Our price $7.50 · SP $17.00 · C J Parish

He won a stronger Class 2 race on Heavy9 at Albury last start, beating Adasiti, and already has a Wagga 1600m Heavy9 third on his record. He drops in grade to BM58 and is partnered by an in-form jockey.

★ Top pickWon
10Kool Kade

Our price $4.50 · SP $3.50 · Donovan Dillon

Kool Kade has the most relevant recent form: a close second in a Class 1 over 1200m on Soft7 at Nowra, and he has already won on Heavy8. From barrier 4 on the speed-favouring Wagga circuit, he should get every chance.

2nd pick5th
7Hot Toddy

Our price $7.00 · SP $6.50 · C J Parish

Hot Toddy is a genuine Wagga heavy-track specialist who has won his last two starts on Heavy8 and Heavy9, including over 1200m. The rise from Maiden and BM50 company is real, but he drops significantly in weight and draws barrier 2, which is ideal for the on-pace pattern at this track.

999th pickScratched
3Lord Of Valor

Our price $5.00

Lord Of Valor is the best wet-track and distance profile in the race. He has two wins from three Heavy starts and two wins from two starts at 1200m, and he won a Heavy8 maiden at Albury last time. The rise to Class 2 is the main concern, but this is a moderate country field and he remains lightly raced. He maps to settle handy from barrier 3 and rates the principal threat to the top selection.

Value pick3rd
9Justbetryin'

Our price $12.00 · SP $11.00 · Dale Cole

Justbetryin' is the value runner: he won his latest start in Class 1 and ran third on Heavy8 at Wagga two runs back, indicating he is in career-best form. The 1200m is the obvious concern as he is yet to win beyond 1000m, so he is not a top-three pick.

1Serenading

Our price $2.20 · SP $2.50 · Brodie Loy

Serenading has the strongest overall profile: 2 wins from 3 starts, 2 from 2 first-up, and already a Heavy 10 winner at Wagga over this trip. She drops from Class 3 to BM58 and maps well from barrier 2 in a moderate-tempo sprint. The 262-day break and 61kg are the main queries, but her class and tactical speed should carry her a long way.

2nd pick6th
3Drama Dodger

Our price $5.50 · SP $13.00 · Teaghan Martin

Drama Dodger is the principal danger based on form. He has won a BM58 over 1000m at Wagga and owns a Heavy 10 placing at Nowra, while his on-pace pattern is exactly what this track's Heavy bias rewards. The outside barrier is the main concern but his ability to slot into the first four should offset it.

3rd pickWon
7She's The Key

Our price $6.50 · SP $6.00 · Jean Van Overmeire

Van Overmeire's 24% strike rate here helps, but she rates more a place chance than a genuine winning threat.

999th pickScratched
8Teresprit

Our price $8.00

Teresprit is racing consistently, with a win and two seconds from her last three starts, including a Heavy9 1000m win and a narrow BM58 second. Barrier 4 suits Wagga's inside-draw bias and she is proven on wet ground.

999th pickScratched
9Minks Written

Our price $6.50

She maps midfield from barrier 7 and carries only 56kg. The query is heavy track form, with a 0:1 record, but her soft-track wins and first-up record (4:1) suggest she will handle conditions.

Value pick5th
11Witch Of November

Our price $8.00 · SP $8.50 · B P Ward

Witch Of November has built an excellent wet-track record at Wagga, finishing 2nd, 4th and 3rd in recent Heavy 1000m attempts. Her poor win conversion is the main knock, but the heavy-track profile gives her strong each-way value.
