Trainer Craig Widdison believes The Prodigal Son is right on target to produce a career best performance in Thursday’s $200,000 Tooheys Wagga Town Plate (1200m).

Saving the best to last may prove to be factual for trainer Craig Widdison when it comes to summarising his four prospects today at Wagga's first meeting of 2024.
