Wyangle's most recent victory was at Cootamundra in September last year.

The six-year-old has failed to notch another win in 12 subsequent starts but Widdison said there had been excuses.

"Surely he is due for a change of luck and can break through?," Widdison said.

"He's had five starts this preparation and had no luck in any of them.

"He's pulled up well since his Wodonga Cup run and is drawn to get a nice run.

"Hopefully he can get out and have a decent crack at them.

"It's a fair drop back in class and I think he will be hard to beat."

Wyangle is coming off a last-start sixth in the Wodonga Gold Cup which was taken out by stablemate Willi Willi.

The luckless galloper was held-up for the majority of the straight before seeing daylight 100m from home and flashing late to be beaten two lengths.

Mathew Cahill will be reunited with Wyangle after finishing third on the gelding in the Narrandera Cup in July.

Widdison and Cahill boast a lethal win strike rate of almost 40 per cent with six winners from 16 runners this calendar year.

"Getting Mathew back aboard should certainly help his cause," he said.

"Nick Olive's horse (Supreme Polarity) looks like the horse we all have to beat.

"But I think my horse will run well, especially on a big, spacious track like Wagga."

Meanwhile, Widdison admits he may have erred in his judgement of backing up Willi Willi so soon after his Wodonga Cup victory.

Willi Willi raced at Pakenham on Saturday where he finished at the tail of the field.

"I think it was just a case that he didn't handle the quick turnaround," he said.

"He's never done it before and I only thought I would try it because he didn't have to travel the previous week.

"The alarm bells were starting to ring when he wasn't his usual bright self in the parade ring where he walked around a bit too quite for my liking.

"I'll be certainly keeping his runs spaced in the future."
