SHRC THANKS DARYL OLNEY PACE 1690m

Track: GOOD      

LOCHIEL LAD (11) continues to race well having only once missed the top-three in his last six starts including a Charlton win last month. Led for third at his latest appearance at this circuit. Winning claims if things go his way from the back row. ARNIES ARMY (12) produced a far better performance last start, coming from a similar draw and finishing runner-up at this circuit and distance, beaten less than 3m. Could go one better. OZZIE CORKA (1) gets the ace draw and comes right into contention after coming from the back line when scoring last start by 7 metres at Kilmore. DAY TWO (8) is in the mix if he can recapture the form from two starts back that saw him score at this venue.

Better than the last few runs suggest and he can improve sharply.

Didn't do much last start, was well back in the run when 5th (Fr5) over 2160m after racing wide at Echuca was 11th-19.8m + at the bell, beaten 17 m by Tooram Cee Cee (2:39.40) in NR up to 60 on April 20 at $16. Before that surrendered the lead and finished 8th (Fr1) over 1650m after showing early pace at Bendigo, at the bell was 3rd-5.9m on the pegs beaten 16 m by Nakula (1:57.60) in NR 56 to 64 on April 2 at $9. This looks a far sterner test.

Good run when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Jetter Son at this track over 1690m in a NR 52 to 58 on April 15 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Big Sledge Hammer at this track over 1690m in a NR 53 to 59 on April 22 at $4.20. In fine form. Strong chance.
