GOING: F

HARNESS BREEDERS NSW / REPRESENTING THE INDUSTRY PACE 2030m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 28)    

DANCE WITH CARMER (6) showed plenty of fight to salute last start over 1609m at this track, getting home by just 1.5 metres. Meets some better types this time but another win is not out of the question. FLARE UP (5) was responsible for a far better performance last start when runner-up over 1609m here, beaten 1.5 metres. Meets a similar line up so she can add to the sound recent effort. ULTRA BLISS (1) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid third at this venue over 2030m. Hard to find fault. LOUIGI (10) saluted two runs back then things went sour last time when he broke and finished 9 metres back in ninth over 1609m at this circuit. May need luck at some stage extracting from the inside of the second row. Won't find this any harder and he can bounce back.

Solid performance when beaten by 2 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Dance With Carmer at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 58 on April 7 at $13. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Matt Gregors Boy at this track over 2030m in a NR up to 57 on April 11 at $13. In the mix from the inside draw.

Last start won by 1.1 m when driven back in the field, (Fr6) held up early, overraced, at this track (2:28.70) beating Ultra Bliss in NR up to 55 on March 21 at $21. No reason he cannot get the job done again.

Failed to impress last start; then settled down to finish ninth over 1609m at this track last start. Showed ability the outing before when he posted a big 5 m win (Sr1) at this track (2:28.00) beating Rocknroll Clarry in NR up to 47 on April 4 at $16. Sure to be very competitive.
