Dee Dee Express ran an excellent second at Wagga over 1200m on Good last start and drops in class. She can sit on or just behind the speed, which is the winning position at this track. The pace is expected to be hot, and the extra weight is a worry, but she is the best-credentialed runner on form.

Aitken Rowe Testing Laboratories Country Boosted Hcp (C2)
The class jump is significant and she is a touch short, so she ranks second behind Dee Dee Express rather than first, but she is a very likely placegetter.
A hot tempo should help his late run, but the wide gate and a track that rewards forward runners will make it hard to win.
Just Hear Me Out has a good record on Good tracks and a strong partnership with his jockey. A dominant win at Albury shows his best, and a place in the first few is the best he has done in this class.

Pearl Home Care Murrumbidgee (Bm74)
Brutal Eyes looks the most likely winner on form. She is the one proven speed horse in a moderate-tempo race at a track that favours front-runners. She is up against weaker rivals than her Open Hcp runs, and her light 55kg weight suits.
Canny Hell has the best class credentials in the field. He was a close second in a Bm82 two starts ago and now steps down to Bm74. He handles Good ground and has an inside draw. The big weight of 64.5kg stops him being the top pick, but he is a clear place chance and a genuine winning chance.
He is improving and won last start, and he finishes well. I rank him third because his best runs have come at a lower grade and he is likely to settle midfield on a track that rewards runners who are handy.
She drops in class and has a handy map at a track that favours forward runners.

Bendigo Bank Tumbarumba (Bm58)
He is the only real leader in a race expected to be run at a moderate pace, and Wagga heavily favours horses that race forward. His recent Goulburn runs were solid against stronger company, and the BM58 grade looks easier. The mile is a question and his win record is thin, but the map and the 2kg claim outweigh that.
Sunroe has a better win rate than anything else in the field and lands in a much easier race after being outclassed in an Open. He is expected to be handy, and the trainer is going well. He often tires late, and a first ride from the jockey adds some doubt. He is a sound each-way type who fits the map.
Dunna Runna is one of the few with a past win at this track and distance. The inside gate lets him sit in the first half of the field, which is where Wagga winners come from. He is dropping in class and ran on nicely last start. The stable's poor recent strike rate and his light win record limit him, so he is best used as a place chance.
Sundrop is the overlay. The map is a problem: she settles near the rear from a wide gate, and Wagga seldom rewards that. If the pace lifts more than expected she could finish fast.

Win TV - Heat Of Wagga Stayers Series (Bm66)
Hussy La Vista is an improving mare who should settle just behind the leader at the lightest weight in the race. She has won and placed in her latest runs, so the pace and weight suit her. The 2000m trip and class rise are unknowns and the trainer's record here is poor, but she looks a solid place-and-win chance.
Midnight Affair raced forward and ran second over this trip on Good ground last start, and she gets a class drop and the inside gate. Her form is solid, but the jockey is unconfirmed, the stable is out of form and she has weakened late recently. A genuine place chance with a win possible if the pace is moderate.
Vasala is the only true front-runner and should dominate a slow tempo in a track that favours on-pace runners. The risk is the unproven 2000m trip and a tendency to fade if challenged, but the map and form make him the most likely winner.
Sorry Sunshine has won over this course and distance and was successful again last start, with a jockey and trainer in strong form. He is likely to settle off the pace in a slow race, which is a negative, but he has won from mid-field before.

Wagga Fire & Security (Bm66)
He is second up, is handy in the run and should find the key position in a moderately run sprint. The weight swing against Pietro Road roughly cancels the margin, and Ditterich has the better map.
His risk is the map. Runners settling at the back rarely win at Wagga, and a moderate tempo with one clear leader gives him less to run at. The 2kg weight rise also trims his edge over Ditterich.
She is likely to settle behind the speed, her jockey is cold, and she has not shown her best at Wagga. She suits as a place option.
Marine Girl is a handy mare whose recent form has been competitive at this exact level. She holds a prime on-pace position behind the lone leader, carries a light weight, and ran to a winning standard last start. She should be a place chance at the very least.

The Daily Advertiser Mdn Hcp
He has run second or third at eight of ten starts, was only just beaten over this trip at Wagga last start, and drops from Plate class into a Maiden. His on-pace style suits the track, though barrier 13 is a concern and he has yet to break through.
Lone leader in a moderately run race and the map could hardly suit better. She has been placed at every start, was narrowly beaten at her last three, and gets a nice weight.
A forward-running maiden who was unlucky last start at Wagga when held up in the straight. He should be handy from a good barrier and has a strong jockey booked, but he has not found the winning post in ten starts and is short enough on that record.
A tough mare who has been competing in Plate company and now meets Maidens.

Triple M Riverina Country Boosted Mdn Plate
Against that, he carries top weight, is first up after seven months, and his stable and rider are in poor recent form.
Barrier 2 and light weight help, and he should improve with that experience.
Divine Spark is the only true leader in a field with no obvious pace, and Wagga heavily rewards runners who sit handy. She has been placed in nearly half her starts, mostly at this track on Good ground, and her form is the most reliable here. She is first up from a long break and has yet to win, but the map, light weight and her record give her the best chance on form.
Eyes Right showed good early speed to lead at her last start and ran a game second, and she is back second up at weight she should enjoy. The 53kg and the inside barrier give her a real chance of getting forward on a track that rewards it.
