GOING: N

NORTH SHORE CAFE PACE 1740m

Track: FAST      

COASTAL DRIVE (10) has been freshened since he was forced to work when beaten as a hot favourite last start at Melton but has trialled well since. Had put together a string of top-two finishes prior so can bounce back. IDEAL ANDY (3) has been racing well of late. Made it four placings in a row when he finished third at his latest appearance at Canberra, beaten 4.4 metres. Draws wider but the consistency is hard to knock. LENNETH (7) draws wider than in recent attempts but has claims off a win from a similar barrier four back. WAVES OF CHANCE (1) came from wider for a maiden win last start at Goulburn. The ace draw could see him take the next step.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Fouroneone at Goulburn over 1710m in a NR up to 50 on March 31 at $4.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Helens Boy at Canberra over 2170m in a 2 WINs on April 6 at $2.40. In fine form. Chance to salute from the more favourable draw.
