GOING:

BC ELECTRICAL 4YO & OLDER MAIDEN PACE 1710m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 20)    

LOWER WEST SIDE (1) showed good improvement second-up when she led from a much wider barrier for second at Shepparton. Has the speed to take advantage of the inside draw and should be close to her peak. FIVE CENT (10) was midfield from this row here last start after a good effort to race wide but stick on for second two back at Maryborough. Expect him to be prominent. BETTING ATTACK (9) is lightly raced and will be better for his first-up effort last week so look for improvement. WHENIMREADY (11) could be close to a win after placing in both starts since a spell, the latest from a similar draw to this.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Pearl Of Philtra at Echuca over 1755m in a MAIDEN on April 5 at $18. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Alpha Charlotte at Shepparton over 1690m in a 4yo+ MAIDEN on April 14 at $5. Fitter and and from thy ace draw could strike
