Shortest win price
Time Angel (2)
2.80
Welcome to Wagga Riverside for the Country Hope Benchmark 50 over 1065m on a Soft 5 track with fine weather overhead. The win market lines up with Time Angel heading the quotations, closely followed by Jenni Divine, Ta La Masca, and See You Then rounding out the shorter end of the betting order in what shaped as a fascinating contest.
Looking closely at the form behind those prominent fancies, Time Angel arrives with solid credentials after a narrow minor placing in a small field at Griffith over 1000m followed by a sound third at Corowa, suggesting the weight should be well managed from barrier two under Brodie Loy. Meanwhile, Jenni Divine returns from a 60-day let-up for trainer Michael Travers, looking to bounce back onto a more forward racing pattern after chasing hard in testing conditions at Gundagai over a longer trip previously.
Further down the order, other runners brought their own tactical stories to the yarn. See You Then lines up for Andrew Dale after a respectable fourth in benchmark 58 grade at Jerilderie, while runners like Ta La Masca and Magic Merv added depth to the offpace speed group. It was an intriguing battle of attrition on the Riverside circuit where the early leaders like Jenni Divine looked to dictate terms.

Has winning C&D form to his name; no reward for a string of creditable efforts of late; beaten a head over 5f at Griffith (handicap) just ahead of See You Then 21 days ago; encouragement to be gleaned from latest effort so could be involved.
RSIS
Narrowly denied victory last run at Griffith and gets a favourable stall. Should muster plenty of early toe. In good condition of late. Competitive type.

On a short back-up. Close up in sound performance (Bm58) at Jerilderie. Shapes as a rough place prospect.

Backing up quickly. At $9.00 came in 4th last start at Jerilderie. Has the talent to rebound quickly but up in weight. Can measure up against these.
RP
Solid effort over 5f at Jerilderie (handicap) a week ago; probably unlikely to trouble the principals as regularly been coming up a bit short lately.
RSIS
On a short turnaround. Started at 8/1 and came in 4th last start at Jerilderie. Has the ability to turn things around but carrying more weight than last time. Has a good chance.

Backing up quickly for this race. Right in the mix last time at Canberra. Teaghan Martin is a bonus.

Let-up (60-days). Sent out $14 when unable to threaten in rain affected going at Gundagai over longer test. Can go forward. Right in the mix.
ILB
Started at $14.00 and was well beaten when 8th last start at Gundagai and down in trip. Likely to be well placed early. Has more weight to carry. Place claims at best.
RP
Didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Gundagai (beaten just under 5l) over 7f (handicap) two months ago; form has been up and down of late and achieved just the one win; record demonstrates how she often finds at least one too good so others are preferred.
RSIS
Was 13/1 and didn't find the line when 8th last time at Gundagai and dropping in distance. Has plenty of early pace. Rises in weight.
