Best Bet at Wagga: Magnucat

Now with Luke Pepper, the form of Magnucat through late summer reads well for this: a Canterbury BM64 third (1250m) and a Kembla Grange BM64 second (1400m) before contesting stronger Sydney company. She’s trialled up and returns to a country BM64 with Jean Van Overmeire booked and 58.5kg. The wide gate (15) should be an asset if they’re fanning by the last; expect her to blend in three wide with cover and produce a sustained run from the 500m. With any tempo up front, Magnucat will blouse them late.

Next Best at Wagga: Region Time

Region Time brings the right recent platform for a country BM58 mile and draws to stalk the speed from gate five. The six-year-old mare has been knocking on the door at this grade and was rewarded at Albury on August 19, finishing off strongly to win a 1500m Heavy 8 BM58 following a solid third at Murwillumbah over 1660m on August 5. Back to 1600m suits, and her soft/heavy record reads well for any give in the ground. With Jack Martin taking over at 59.5kg, she maps midfield-with-cover and should be strongest late.

Best Value at Wagga: Cassimir

Cassimir is humming along and strikes a very winnable 1000m BM58 with a handy 3kg claim. The Tumbarumba sprinter comes here off back-to-back wins, both ridden positively and running time. He returns to a provincial BM58, but the claim gets him in at 59kg and his 1000m record (11:3-2-0) stacks up. From barrier 12 he has the speed to offset the draw and land on-pace or outside the lead. If he begins cleanly, he can pinch a break and prove hard to run down late at a price with horse racing bookmakers.

6yo Gelding | T: Mont Waters | J: Jordan Quince (a3) (62kg)
