GOING: N

THE PRODUCE STORE PACE 1780m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 17)    

GOLD IN PARIS (1) made a nice return at her latest appearance, leading from wider and fighting well to finish just a nose away in second at this circuit and distance. That continued a run of top-two finishes from last campaign and she will be fitter for it. Can take advantage of the inside draw and prove hard to beat. TAP TO PAY (2) was yet again about the mark last time out when runner-up at Charlton, her fourth placing from her last five starts in Victoria. Her lone win came at this distance and she should enjoy an economical run from this draw. FAMOUS LABEL (5) returns to the front row and has claims off back-to-back wins here earlier in the campaign. CASE FORTY EIGHT (3) draws well and is a chance after placing in his last two outings here.

Returned to racing last start with a game effort when 2nd (Fr4) over 1780m after showing early speed at this track was leading by 1.9m on the pegs at the bell, beaten a nose by Jades Hope (2:14.70) in 2 Lifetime Wins on April 11 at $6.50. Fitter and should play a big role.
