Wodonga Picks

Expecting a slow tempo with minimal pressure. PAPARAZZO placed when unwanted in the betting at only start at Wangaratta, serious player. SUBDUE in good shape from recent trial successes, could threaten. WELLSPRING first start and placed in both trials, place only. GRINZINGER LASS faded to finish six lengths off the winner last start at Wagga Riverside when resuming, not the worst.

Doesn't appear much depth to this field. DESERT BOOTS finished four lengths off the winner at only start at Wagga Riverside, hard to go past. SPRINGER TIME finished in the middle of the pack at only start at Wangaratta, looks threatening. PIMPERNEL has the speed to overcome an unfavourable draw and racing back from the city, could upset. TOUXLOVE has shown potential in trials, in with a chance.

Will be a close run race between the top picks. TRIUMPHANT TONIC ran fourth last start at Wagga Riverside when resuming and up in journey, marginal top pick. GURU TWO placed when fresh and ran three lengths back from the winner last start at Seymour, in the mix. COSMIC CHARGER draws to do no work, each-way claims. MAHAM finished midfield last start at Wangaratta when fresh, in with a chance.

PERI PERI RICH amongst the placegetters last start running second at Werribee and two of three wins have come from dry ground, perfectly placed. VAMPIRE MISS amongst the placegetters last start running third at Werribee when first up and all wins have come when faced with dry ground, the real danger in the race. CANNY DEFENSE won once this prep at Albury three runs back and ran sixth last start at Wangaratta, could upset. KILKENNY LASS won last start to break maiden at Albury when first up and should be near the speed in a race without much early pace, place chance.

MONAGHAN'S BOY was narrowly beaten as a favourite last start at Wangaratta and won't be far away in the run, a winning chance. AOIFE finished fourth last start at Bendigo and three of four wins have come from dry ground, could upset. WHITEHART won once this prep at Albury three runs back and all wins have come when faced with dry ground, could threaten. TUROAR finished five lengths off the winner last start at Wangaratta when first up and all wins have come when faced with dry ground, in with a chance.

EUPHEMIA finished strongly to end up midfield last start at Seymour when first up and generally strong second-up winning at Towong last second-up attempt, perfectly placed. ARIZONA ACTIVIST won last start at Wangaratta when resuming and won two of five as a favourite, not without each-way claims. JORDY GIRL racing back from metro track and placed once this prep at Moonee Valley, quinella. PRETTY PENGUIN gave nothing else a chance to win last start at Corowa and in strong form with three wins from 12 attempts this campaign, quinella.

Look for value in a very open race. ALPINOVA has four placings from 11 runs this prep but faded to finish two lengths off the winner last start at Kerang, hard to go past. CHAIRMAN'S CHOICE rates highly with Jake Duffy back on board, don't dismiss. REDNECK PRINCESS last start winner at Tumut when resuming and has the speed to overcome a very wide draw, don't dismiss. CHAMPAGNE SHARON all wins have come when faced with dry ground, looks threatening.
