Wagga Race 1

Wagga Paint Distributors Hcp (C1)

Stake: $31,320

PARTY BOSS (6) resumes for local trainer Gary Colvin and picks up a key booking in McDougall, who knows him well. Enjoyed a strong campaign last time in and if he returns in similar order, he'll take plenty of stitching. PAPARAZZO (2) has become the perennial bridesmaid, finishing runner-up in his last four, each by narrow margins. Draws perfectly on the inside and doesn't need to improve much to finally land one. SARGEANT STAN (3) resumes for the Stubbs yard and remains lightly raced. Just the one trial off a 266-day break, so he may need the run but he's shown ability in five starts, including a dominant maiden win in April. A bold return wouldn't shock. MISSILE DEFENCE (4) was terrific fresh at Orange on November 21 when missing by a lip. Hasn't quite gone on with it since but is worth keeping safe.

Dual acceptor. Form hard to fault. Most recently sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at Corowa Bm66 on December 30 over 1200m, 0.5 len behind Hellinda carrying 57.5kg at $3.70. The run before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 11 at Albury Cl1 on December 6 over 1175m, nose behind Divron carrying 59kg at $3.60. Doesn't need to improve much to get the verdict.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield

First up last campaign eighth of 13 at Albury Ctry Cl1 May 16 over 1175m, 3 len behind Motorboat with 57.5kg at $4.40. Capable of a sneaking into the frame.
