Wagga (G) Race 10

Mark Hughes Foundation 1-3 Win

Stake: $2,495

ULTIMATE ROCKET (1) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing third and beaten one length (26.33) behind Black Granite at Temora. The form out of her last race has been franked. Good form should continue. RACING PENNY (6) missed the frame last time when sixth (18.67) at this track in a Grade 5 but not beaten far the start prior. Can improve sharply here. BOBBY BOUCHER (2) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fourth (18.82) from Box 5 at this track over 320m. Likely to play a prominent role. STAGGER OUT MIKE (7) warrants respect following a recent placing.

Nearing another win after his success on May 30 at this track over 320m. Last start was fourth over 320m in 18.82, behind Tommy's Ava. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.
