Shortest win price
Sister Shay (4)
2.40
The Coorparoo Park Stan Sadleir Stakes at Wagga is a 1400-metre Open class sprint on Good 4 going under fine skies at 4:55 pm AEDT. Sister Shay heads the win market, with Cando Attitude and Urafiki next in line. It's a race where the placegetters will likely come from a packed midfield group — Associate, Urafiki, Hell Of A Fox, and Mathrin all sit in that lane — while the speed should come from Sister Shay on front and Cando Attitude and Quamby on pace. Confrontational, Paparazzo, and Daze Off profile as offpace types nursing the back half of the field, which gives them every chance to run on into the money if the tempo suits.
Sister Shay, shortest at the post, has trainer C D Widdison's recent form working against the stable, though her own rating of 88 and a solid second-up record suggest she'll be sharper and more effective this time than when she ran a reasonable effort against her own gender at Seymour. On the other end, Cando Attitude carries the highest rating at 100 and won the only other time she raced here at Wagga; she's on a short back-up after running midfield in the Federal Handicap at Canberra, but the AAP comment flags she's capable of making an impact with even breaks. Urafiki knows Wagga well and boasts a winning first-up record, though her 77 rating and poor distance form are concerns; the form suggests she can fill the minors here if she settles kindly. Hell Of A Fox, rated 87, kept finding the line second-up at this venue without threatening, and rider Jean Van Overmeire is in outstanding touch, outperforming his career average by 38 per cent over his last hundred rides.
Daze Off merits a look further down the market; trainer Doug Gorrel is in fine form, outperforming the market by 72 per cent, and the stable is running at a healthy 54 per cent return on investment across the last hundred runners. Paparazzo, rated as an offpace runner in a map that suits, profiles nicely from barrier 4 with trainer Craig Weeding's stable running at 19 per cent ROI. The midfield congestion is the race's defining feature, so early pace and a bit of clear air at the business end will be worth their weight in gold.

First-up (26-weeks). In the minors first-up last campaign while trialling 2 times ahead of return. Back from Listed level. Blinkers off and can show up fresh from the handy draw.
ILB
First up from a break of 26 weeks and rattled home nicely into 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L first up last preparation at Moruya. Competing in an easier class. Good winning chance.
RP
Towards the rear of 14 in a Listed handicap six months ago; possible blip last time out as had been running well previously; track has proven suitable before; returns from an absence here; makes limited appeal despite dropping in class.
RSIS
Resuming and managed to run into 2nd resuming last preparation at Moruya. Ran 4th in a trial at Hawkesbury on Oct 20th but facing a weaker grade. Strong chance.

Resuming after a (130-weeks) spell. Ex Jason Warren in Victoria. Won Stony Creek Cup Stony Creek 10 Mar 2024. Capable fresh and looked forward in recent trial but betting best guide.
ILB
First up from a break of 130 weeks. Faded to finish 9th last run at Caulfield and will be dropping in distance. First appearance for a new trainer. Very unlikely.
RP
Ninth of 13 beaten 7l over 1m1f at Caulfield (handicap) in 2024; starts out for new trainer; long absence to overcome; probably unlikely to trouble the principals.
RSIS
Fresh today after a 130 week break. Didn't threaten when 9th last run at Caulfield and back to a shorter trip. Change in trainer. Has placed in all trials.

Proven that she knows how to get her head in front (seeking a fifth career win); creditable effort in seventh (beaten just under 2l) at Seymour over 6f (handicap) three weeks ago; recent effort was creditable so shortlisted.

Started 18/1 and lost ground in the run home when 7th last time at Seymour and competing in a higher grade. Has good tactical pace and will be nicely positioned. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Fair effort when beaten just over 4l, finishing fourth of eight over 1m at Queanbeyan (handicap) 19 days ago; posted a good effort at this track whenrunner-up in July and brings plenty of winning course form to the table; probably unlikely to trouble the principals.

Odds of 12/1 and was making up some late ground when 4th last run at Queanbeyan and has the ideal stall. Up against tougher opponents.
