Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted 2 hours ago Journalists Posted 2 hours ago What Wodonga Races Where Racing Wodonga – Hamilton Smith Dr, Wodonga VIC 3690 When Tuesday, August 5, 2025 First Race 12pm AEST Visit Dabble Picklebet Park Wodonga hosts a 10-race country card on Tuesday afternoon. The rail is out 3m 1800m–1500m, true remainder and the track is Soft 7 under overcast skies. Race 1 jumps at 12:00pm AEST and the last is scheduled for 4:30pm AEST. Best Bet at Wodonga: Star Rapper Nick Ryan’s Star Rapper brings a neat platform into the 1100m BM58. He burst through to win on a Heavy 10 at Wangaratta before a narrow second in BM64 grade on Soft 7, and the drop back to BM58 with barrier 3 looks tailor-made. He maps to land just behind the pace for Rhys McLeod, with blinkers now declared this prep to sharpen him again. On rain-affected ground, he owns the best recent figures in the race, and a genuine tempo should bring his turn of foot right into play. With a soft map and race fitness, he’s the one to beat. Best Bet Race 8 – #2 Star Rapper (3) 5yo Gelding | T: Nick Ryan | J: Rhys McLeod (62kg) Next Best at Wodonga: Above Me Above Me showed plenty on debut, sitting handy and boxing on for third at Seymour (1000m, Soft 7). The four-year-old mare now steps to 1100m and draws to blend in behind the speed for Beau Mertens. Her jump-outs indicate she’s tractable, and a Soft deck is no negative given her first-up run. With multiple pace angles engaged, this should set up for a stalk-and-pounce pattern, and she profiles to improve second-time at the races. Above Me should be getting favourite punters off to a winning start. Next Best Race 1 – #8 Above Me (10) 4yo Mare | T: Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) | J: Beau Mertens (57.5kg) Best Value at Wodonga: Annotate Lightly raced and progressive, Annotate resumes in the 1100m BM58 with a big claim and a soft map. He broke his maiden on Soft 7 at Bendigo and returns off a sharp Seymour jump-out, drawing gate 4 to stalk the speed. With apprentice Thomas Spillane engaged, he gets weight relief against exposed sprinters, and momentum building from the 600m suits Wodonga when the inside chops up. If he lands one-off with cover, he can peel and sustain a run through the line. In a race lacking depth beyond a couple of older geldings, Annotate appeals to go straight on with it. Best Value Race 7 – #3 Annotate (4) 5yo Gelding | T: Hanna Powell | J: Thomas Spillane (a4) (61.5kg) Tuesday quaddie tips for Wodonga Wodonga quadrella selections Tuesday, August 5, 2025 1-2-3 1-2-3 4-6 1-6-8 Horse racing tips View the full article Quote
