We head back to the Riverina on Sunday for a six-race card at Wagga, the first meeting since the Gold Cup Carnival.
Track manager Mark Hart deserves a massive congratulations for his efforts in preparation for the Carnival and today's meeting.
After receiving considerable rain on day one of the carnival, the track played well on day two under testing conditions.
Less than two weeks later and punters are now met with a great racing surface, with the rail in the true position and track rated a Soft 5.
Kurt has amassed a tidy 44% POT from 59 tips over the past 90-days!

Trevor Sutherland lines up a handful of runners today, with Blazing Zone looking his best chance at good odds.
He didn't handle the Heavy track conditions last start in a complete forgive run and is now well suited back on a drier surface.
Two runs ago on a Good 4, the son of Eurozone got well back over the 1600m and flew late to finish 1.2-lengths off the winner.
Stepping out to 2000m is a positive as is the wide draw, which will allow apprentice Ellen Hennessy to ease back out of trouble from the barriers.
The 2kg claim from Hennessy is a plus and I expect this big boy to go through his gears in the straight and let down over the top of them.
In what is a very competitive race, I'm with a value runner which can be played on an each-way basis.
Now third-up and with fitness on her side, the daughter of Krupt has found a suitable race here.
She hasn't been far off the winner at both runs this prep and has won third-up previously.
With plenty of speed engaged here, she'll get her chance to run over the top.
