We head to southern NSW at the Murrumbidgee Turf Club for an eight-race card in Wagga Wagga. The rail sits in the true position for this card, and with a Heavy 10 listed for race-day, plus some rain around the Riverina, we expected to stay around that range comes Friday afternoon. The first race is scheduled for 1:35pm AEDT.
Best Bet: Atmospheric Rock
Atmospheric Rock looks ready to break his maiden status on Friday afternoon. The gelding by Your Song was unlucky to be beaten on debut on July 1 at Moruya by 0.5 lengths, as he was flying home late but was just snagged on the post by Sister Moon. This race looks a much easier task for this lightly raced three-year-old, and he should only improve based on his trial at Goulburn on October 4. He hit the line well, giving indications he has only come back stronger. Nick Heywood rode Atmospheric Rock in the trial, and provided the horse brings this form to race-day, he looks very hard to beat in a race full of untested gallopers.

Next Best: Shores Of Avalon
While Shores Of Avalon has top weight in this 1000m contest, she looks a cracking price in the Mad Scramble on Friday afternoon. Race four is our feature sprint with plenty of city company to cast our eyes over, but we’re happy to stick to provincial grade here with Shores Of Avalon. With a track record of three starts, one win and two minor placings, this mare by The Factor will be looking to make it win number seven on 24 career starts. She has a class edge on her rivals, not to mention the 2kg claim for apprentice jockey Molly Bourke, and with the box seat in running, Shores Of Avalon looks a great price with online bookmakers.

Best Value: Irish Dancer
Irish Dancer has been luckless in her pursuit to add win number two to the board in her career. This mare by Shamus Award is fifth-up this preparation and has been screaming out for the mile after an outstanding effort last time at 1400m at Wagga Wagga on October 19. She was beaten only 1.3 lengths that day and hit the line strong to suggest the mile would be more than suitable for her. With a fitness edge and a great each-way price, we just had to make Irish Dancer a play in what looks only a moderate BM50. Quayde Krogh takes the ride here, and from gate two he’ll likely be positive and get on the back of leaders before pulling the whip and getting home late to be in the finish.
