GOING: N

THANK YOU JOHN MARKS PACE 1758m

Track: FAST   Clear (Max: 21)    

OUR ROCKY (2) registered yet another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1770m at Canberra, adding to a string of recent minor placings. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position and rates a leading hope based on that latest outing. NICE WON GARY (9) finished a head from the winner in second at Riverina Paceway over 1740m last start at his first career run. Will need an ounce of luck to slot in from this tricky draw but is ideally placed and is sure to play a major role again. LACHIES DELIGHT (6) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1760m at Coolamon. Top-three credentials. SHEZA BETTOR GEM (1) is worth some thought after her last-start fifth over 1740m at Riverina Paceway on April 19. One for the exotics players.

Finished up last campaign with a win at this track, but hasn't been as effective this campaign with a first-up effort 7th (Sr4) over 1635m at Temora was 8th-17.2m on the pegs at the bell, beaten 9 m by I Lika Style (2:02.10) in 2 WINs on April 8 at $13. Then last outing 8th (Fr2) over 1760m at Coolamon, beaten 30 m by Nifty Ambition (2:10.40) in 1-2 WINs on April 21 at $6.50. May do better.

Two-year-old gelding lining up for the second time. At debut solid effort when 2nd (Fr5) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway, beaten a head by Papenhuyzen (2:05.90) in No NR on April 19 at $3.20. Awkwardly drawn but is likely to progress.

Last start 8th (Fr5) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway beaten 30 m by Coastal Drive (2:02.20) in 2 WINs on April 15 at $41. At his previous start 6th (Fr6) over 2270m after being wide early at Riverina Paceway, beaten 80 m by Renrow Boy (2:43.70) in NR up to 47 on March 14 at $17. Better than the recent form suggests and he can improve sharply.
