GOING: G

ECHUCA STEEL SHEDS PACE 1755m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 25)    

POLLY PEACHUM (10) ran fourth last start at Swan Hill over 1750m, beaten 5 metres. Not drawn to best so may need a 10/10 drive. Finds a nice race and will take plenty of beating. ALCATRAZ GIRL (5) was expected to do a lot more last time out when fifth, beaten 10 metres, over 1690m at Shepparton. The recent run not a true indication. Good enough to take out a race like this. OUR MYSTERY BET (8) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing third at Shepparton over 2190m. THE LADYBIRD (9) cannot be ruled out but needs a bit of luck from the tricky draw.

Nine-year-old mare showed improvement last time and is backing up after three days. 2nd (Fr3) over 1690m at Kilmore beaten 2.25 m by Hurricane Hooly (2:05.70) in NR up to 42 M on April 2 at $13. The run before was not as impressive when well beaten into eleventh behind Whata Optimist at Shepparton over 1690m in a NR 38 to 43 on February 17 at $34. Not as keen on her chances in this field.

Fair run when beaten by 4.5 m finishing fourth behind Major Maurie at Shepparton over 1690m in a NR 41 to 44 on March 17 at $14. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Kualight at Shepparton over 2190m in a NR up to 49 on March 24 at $23. Rates highly. Bold showing expected again.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after showing early speed, behind Cresco Threepeat at Shepparton over 1690m in a NR up to 45 on March 8 at $5.50.

Should go well despite the tough draw.
