Wagga

FREDDY’S SHOCK (6) returned in good order here when chasing gamely into the placings over a trip well short of his best. Rises sharply to a more suitable journey and is drawn perfectly for McDougall, who takes over. Looks the one to beat. HELLBERG (3) was dominant at Corowa last start and has been kept fresh with 36 days between runs. Retains the in-form Boudvillain and will give himself every chance again up on speed. WAGUNDA (10) improved sharply second-up with a barnstorming win here. Can cause a scare late if they overdo it in front. BLACK ADAM (1) hasn’t threatened in his last two but does go well over this journey and is worth keeping safe on best figures.
