GOING: F

COCA COLA PACE 1609m

Track: FAST   Clouds (Max: 15)    

WALLAROY BOY (8) has been racing well of late. Finished third at his latest appearance over 2030m at this track, beaten 9 metres. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Finds a nice race and can grab a well-deserved win. CAROLSDIAMOND (2) was responsible for a better performance last start when third over 1760m at Narrabri, beaten 20 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Finds a nice race and will prove very tough to beat once more. ARTFUL BABE (7) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track. Should run a big race. NOWORRIES (1) has the perfect inside draw and is worth some thought despite his last-start eighth over 1609m at this track on June 2.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after a quick start, behind Dancing With My Ex at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 33 on May 12 at $23. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second after a quick start, behind Ire Of The Dragon at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 30 on June 2 at $9. Looks very hard to beat.
