Goulburn trainer Danielle Seib will be out to continue her run of form when she takes a strong team of seven gallopers to Tuesday’s Christmas Eve meeting at Wagga on the Riverside Track.

Seib produced Xcessive Force to win at Goulburn last Friday and Nipotino to finish second at Moruya on Sunday, and she looks to have strong claims of finishing the year in winning form at Wagga.

Bide Your Time is a three-year-old gelding by Impending that has had three trials in preparation for his first start, the latest two being at Rosehill.

He contests the Magic Millions Jan 2025 Super Maiden Handicap (1200m).

Boudvillain and Seib combine when Hellinda ($3.90) runs in the Congrats Brandon Lewidge Super Maiden Handicap (1200m) with the Hellbent gelding resuming from a spell having finished fourth at Wagga in February.

Urafiki ($4.60) will be the stable representative in the Huon Contractors Pty Ltd Country Boosted Benchmark 58 Handicap (1200m).

The former Joseph Pride-trained mare has had two starts for Seib for a win at Moruya and a last start third at Canberra.

Downtown’s Abbey ($5.50) backs up in the Royans Wagga Benchmark 58 – Heat Of The Wagga Stayers Series (1800m) having finished a solid second at Goulburn last Friday when well in the market behind Brohm Lake.

The talented Associate ($2.30 favourite) is the Seib and Boudvillain runner in the Specsavers Wagga Wagga Ted Ryder Cup (1675m).

Associate was a winner of the Southern Wild Card of the Country Championships at Goulburn back in March and then finished eighth in the Country Championships Final at Randwick behind Asgarda.

He’s had two starts since resuming from a spell and hit the line well when third in the Nowra Cup at his latest start.

Seib rounds out the day with Perigean ($3.50) in the Quickprint Class 3 Handicap (1055m) and Master Of Disguise ($3.40 fav) in the Terminate Pest Control Class 1 Handicap (1200m).

Both gallopers are coming into their events on the back of last start wins.
