Race-by-race preview and tips for Wagga on Friday

1. Scarli Japali has been racing well with a third at Newcastle before a last start fourth at Warwick Farm against handy opposition. This looks a nice race. 3. Valentine John has been thereabouts of late and isn’t out of this. 4. Will To Excel arrived in the nick of time to win on the Riverside track when last produced. 5. Goofinator was edged out by Will To Excel when last produced and is worth plenty of thought. How to play it: Scarli Japali WIN. 10. Roonami is lightly raced with four starts, and she hit the line well enough when a last start third at Canberra. She looks hard to hold out. 9. Hip Hip Ole debuted with a fourth at Bathurst and isn’t out of this. 5. Belnera has been placed in five of 14 starts and looks capable of figuring in the money. 1. Noir Vitesse resumed from a long spell with a second on the Riverside track and is worth plenty of thought here.
