The Waco Kid will look to build on a solid first up effort when lining up in the Radio Goulburn Class 3 Handicap today (1400m).

The Nick Olive-trained runner finished last campaign in very good order before making his way into the placings when resuming at Wagga last start.

The four-year-old gelding got a long way back on that occasion and struck interference early before running on strongly for third producing an excellent closing sectional.

The Waco Kid is only lightly raced but rates very well in this company on recent form and should appreciate the step up to 1400m today.

Brodie loy takes the ride for the first time and would expect him to be running on strongly over the concluding stages and will be hard to beat against these.

Napayshini resumed in good order over 1000m at this course last start when running a narrow second and will look to improve on that effort here.

Steps up to 1400m for this where he has had just the one start when not beating a runner home at Warwick Farm but will find this a much easier task.

Has failed to win a race in well over a year now but is lightly raced and has enough ability to make his presence felt against these.

If he can run up to his last start effort he looks a big danger and should be somewhere in the mix.

Ultra consistent Prince Of Destiny also comes into consideration and should be at peak fitness here fourth up from a spell.

Both wins to date have come over this trip previously and he should get a pretty good run off the pace from barrier 4.

Winona Costin who has a good record on the horse goes back on board today and he is likely to be right in the mix again today.

Other chances include I Can Rock who will appreciate the step up to 1400m today after a modest effort resuming at Canberra last start.

Won his only time a the course previously and looks to have some claims here along with last start winners Kentucky Darter and Tramp.
