GOING: N

WOODLANDS STUD PACE (1ST HEAT) 2150m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 17)    

BUDD SIDEWINDER (9) continues to race well with a string of top-three finishes including a third from this barrier two back at Kilmore. Since then made up plenty of ground but found one better at this circuit and distance. Likely to play a significant role again. EPIC ORION (11) is another in good form, a last-start third at Albury giving him two wins and two placings from the last four starts. Came from this row to score at Swan Hill two starts ago. Major player. ROCKSTAR LEO (3) came from the back row to win three back and raced parked from this barrier in a last-start third at this venue. Contender. FULLOFFIGHT (13) took a long time to break the maiden but achieved it in a last-start win by nearly 8 metres at Swan Hill. Go well again.
