The $200,000 Wagga Town Plate (1200m) headlines the action at the Murrumbidgee Turf Club this Thursday. With no rain forecast on race-day, punters can expect a Good 4 surface. The rail is in the true position for the entire circuit, with the opening event at Wagga scheduled to get underway at 12:25pm local time.
Wagga Town Plate Tip: Felix Majestic
Felix Majestic was sensational on return in the Group 3 McCarten Stakes (1100m) at Rosehill on March 15. The son of Smart Missile bombed the start and was never in contention, but he rattled off some impressive closing sectionals. Molly Bourke will need to get him leaving the gates evenly, and provided he can manage to slot in somewhere mid-field with cover, Felix Majestic should give a bold sight at each-way odds with horse racing bookmakers in the 2025 Wagga Town Plate.

Best Bet at Wagga: Stardom
The Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained Stardom comes through a hot maiden at Kembla Grange on April 15, where the daughter of Zoustar gave a good account of herself to finish in the minor money. She was unable to dictate terms on debut but should get the opportunity to slide across and lead this time around from barrier 13. Jett Stanley will make this a genuine test over 1200m, and provided the pair can pinch a break turning for home, Stardom should get every chance in the Wagga opener.

#8 Stardom (13)

Next Best at Wagga: Group Chat
Group Chat was impressive when breaking her maiden at Wagga on April 13, pushing through at a crucial stage to score by 1.5 lengths. While the four-year-old strikes a much tougher assignment third-up and rises to 1400m for the first time, she seemed to have plenty left in the tank last time out. Expect Ashley Morgan to drag back towards the rear of the field from gate 13, but with a superior turn of foot to her rivals, Group Chat should have the last say in this.
