KRIDEN PARK PACE 1758m

Track: FAST   Clear (Max: 21)    

ROCKETON (3) has been most impressive of late and he made it two in a row when successful at his latest appearance over 1635m at Temora, getting home by 4 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Tackles a similar assignment and he can take care of this line-up. YANKEE BABE (2) produced a better effort last time out when second over 1760m at Coolamon, beaten 7 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw and her recent efforts are good enough to win a race of this calibre. LINE ME UP BRO (8) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1730m at Bathurst last time out. Top-three commodity on best form. VALDEZZ (1) is in the mix following a fourth at her most recent appearance over 1760m at Coolamon. Include from the coveted pegs draw.
