GOING: N

SWAN DRAUGHT MS PACE 2100m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 21)    

SOUNDS LIKE FUN (2) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 5 metres from the winner in fifth over 1684m at Pinjarra. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a comparable field and can take care of this lineup. ESCAPEFROMREALITY (9) finished second last start over 2180m at Wagin, beaten 6 metres, after scoring at the previous appearance over 2190m at Bridgetown. Needs to be at her best to beat this field, but she is good enough to play a major role. STEP IT UP (1) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 2180m at Wagin last time out. Each way claims from the perfect inside draw. I SEE FIRE (10) disappointed last time but is a chance based on a good third over 2130m at Gloucester Park two runs back.

The run previous 5th (Fr2) over 2190m after showing early speed at Bridgetown, beaten 30 m by The Big Kaboosh (2:47.00) in NR up to 69 on April 6 at $7. Has the inside draw which may spark a revival.
