GOING: G

JC WINDOWS PACE 2180m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 10)    

CHASING THE WIND (1) has been racing well and deserves a win having placed in four of six starts since switching from NSW. Did a good job from the back row last time at Melton, covering ground before racing parked but sticking on for third. The ace draw gives him his chance to break through. FEAR THE POWER (9) made it back-to-back wins when he scored last month at Wagga and looks close to another success after missing by a neck from this row in a higher-graded race last start. Won his lone attempt here. Threat. WHERE IS WOODY (5) is improving with racing this time in and should be close to peaking after a respectable third at his most recent appearance at Ballarat. INSIDE LEG (10) has been freshened since placing from this barrier last start and was a Shepparton winner prior. Respect.
