GOING: G

LEST WE FORGET OUR ANZACS PACE 1670m

Track: GOOD      

ALTA BAYAMO (7) draws wide but has been racing well from back row barriers at Shepparton, scoring a 5m win two back before he was edged out by just a nose last time. Has strong claims. OHHEMMJAY CRESCO (6) led from wider to score two back at Shepparton then raced parked but stuck on for fourth last start. Draws wider but is proven at this circuit and distance and is in form. LAVADA GOLD (5) scored from a similar barrier to this at Maryborough last month and did a good job to come from the back line last time out for third at Maryborough. Contender. A low draw brings HAND WRITER (2) into calculations.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind I Of The Hurrikane at Bendigo over 1650m in a NR up to 49 on April 9 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Playnice at Maryborough over 1690m in a NR 40 to 45 on April 14 at $17. Good chance in this line-up.
