Halle Maruia hadn’t raced for 12 months before resuming in April and proceeded to register three wins and seven placings at Wagga.

She was locked in a tight tussle with Jessica Amber and Navajo Rocky who both raced on Tuesday night, but were unable to add to their score.

Jessica Amber had five wins alone at Wagga, but the overall win and place record of Halle Maruia gave her enough points to win by one.

Part-owner John Klemke said it was a great result for his family whom he races the winner with.

Halle Maruia, a daughter of super sire Mach Three, is trained by Hellen Scott at Albury, and has been driven in most of her starts this campaign by her husband John and fellow driver, Reece Maguire.

Jay Dee Zed has had a strong season with four wins and six placings.

Trainer Monique Parsons reached her 20th winner for the season when Attorney Stride produced another powerful display to win his 15th race.

Having his 103rd start, Attorney Stride won at his first start for Parsons at Wagga in June.

It was a personal milestone of Parsons to reach 20 winners for the season and she was able to do it in the second last week.

Meanwhile, Reece Maguire and his father Phil brought up a double when talented youngster Corzin Change won his second race in four days.

The stable also won with the consistent Chickies Boy who has raced 44 times for eight wins and 17 placings for owner Moby Catlin.

Corzin Change also won at Leeton last week and the former New Zealand juvenile looks well up to racing through his grades.

Corzin Change has raced twice since finishing midfield in the Leeton Breeders Plate final.

Veteran trainer-driver Maurice Johnson copped a suspension but was still delighted to be back in the winner’s circle with Sunofasis.

Johnson, who is in his 70s, last won with Sunofasis at Canberra in June, 2015.

The pacer put the writing on the wall with an improved second at Wagga a week earlier.

Sunofasis did a lot of work early to find a position outside of the leader before wearing down the favourite Sand Safari.

Johnson also owns Sunofasis who he trains at his property outside of Young.

Starting at big odds, Sunofasis dug deep for just his second win at his 40th start.
