What Wagga Races
Where Murrumbidgee Turf Club – Travers St, Wagga Wagga NSW 2650
When Friday, January 3, 2025
First Race 1:35pm AEDT

Wagga is the destination for country racing on Friday afternoon, with the Murrumbidgee Turf Club set to host a competitive eight-race program. The rail moves out 1.5m between the 800m to 400m markers, while the remainder stays in the true position. Sunny skies should leave participants racing on a genuine Good 4 surface, with the opening event scheduled to get underway at 1:35pm local time.

Best Bet at Wagga: Holy Hell

The Danielle Seib-trained Holy Hell appears set to peak third-up in the campaign and looks well placed back to country maiden company. The Hellbent filly gave a good account of herself at Randwick on Boxing Day, finishing within two lengths of Altair I Am. This appears to be a much weaker contest on paper, and provided Pierre Boudvillain can gain cover throughout from barrier 10, Holy Hell should have no issue justifying the short quote with horse racing bookmakers.

Next Best at Wagga: Bide Your Time

Bide Your Time couldn’t have been more impressive dismantling his rivals at Wagga on December 24, kicking clear to score by 3.6 lengths. Pierre Boudvillain went straight to the front aboard the son of Impending, making every post a winner to claim a dominant debut victory. Expect similar tactics as he steps up to the 1300m, and provided he can show a similar turn-of-speed, Bide Your Time must be considered the one to beat.

Best Value at Wagga: I Am Mamwaazel

I Am Mamwaazel represents good each-way value with Picklebet as he returns after a 146-day spell. The John Rolfe-trained gelding brings strong provincial form into this BM66 contest, finishing within 1.2 lengths of Extreme Freedom at Kembla Grange on August 10 before heading to the paddock. I Am Mamwaazel hasn’t had an official trial heading into this first-up assignment; however, with class on his side, expect this guy to give a bold sight when turning for home.

Race 6 – I Am Mamwaazel Silks#1 I Am Mamwaazel (8)
