Best bets at Wagga
We head to the Riverina again on Monday for a bumper nine-race card at Wagga.
Wide open fields will be the order of the day, offering up plenty of value for punters.
With some rain falling early on Monday morning, the track is currently rated a Soft 5 with cool weather forecast.
The rail is out 6m from the 1400m mark to the winning post, and true the remainder.

Wagga Race 2 Tip #7 Cherry Pie $7.50
This former Mark Newnham trained runner has had four runs down south and looks set to break her maiden today.
Now into her fourth run this prep, she's rock hard fit and looks cherry ripe coming into this.
It'll pay to forget her last failure. After jumping only fair, she was forced to work hard before getting stuck three wide.
Once jockey Josh Richards eventually found cover, the mare then over-raced behind a slackening tempo.
Dropping back to 1100m is the key here. There looks to be a strong tempo engaged and drawn barrier four, this Sebring galloper can sit just off the speed and pounce late.
Wagga Race 4 Tip #1 Eastern Wind $2.50
The Gary Colvin trained gelding finds the perfect race to break his maiden today.
They have travelled far and wide for this bloke, who has run in some high-quality affairs at Randwick and Flemington.
His last start came in the Maribyrnong Plate up the straight at Flemington, where he ran an admirable 5.15-lengths off the winner. In that hit out, he also finished 3-lengths off Blue Diamond Stakes winner Tagaloa.
Tagaloa then went on to run fourth in the Golden Slipper, so it's fair to say the form-line is strong.
Deservedly, he'll carry the top weight of 58.5kg for this assignment, but he does look to be in a class well above his rivals.
From barrier 4, look for jockey Adrian Layt to settle just off the speed and with clear running, I expect this galloper to be far too good late.
