SALUTING OUR SOLDIERS PACE (SKY 1) 1800m

Track: GOOD      

BOULDER CITY (1) had been racing in great heart, then went close again last time over 1800m at this track, finishing second and just a neck from the winner. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Good enough to take out a race like this. DON ARTHUR (10) ran third last start at this track over 1800m, beaten 5 metres. Expected to run well. NIKI NAH NAH (6) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1800m at this track last time out. Each way value this time. DIDMESELFAMISCHIEF (8) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1800m at this track on April 22. Watch closely.

Well beaten last start by Beach Hopper, a rival who he faces again; was restrained, when 16 metres seventh at this track over 1800m in a 5yo+ NR 63 to 74 GROUP race on April 19. This looks too tough.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after a quick start, behind Beach Hopper at this track over 1800m in a 5yo+ NR 63 to 74 GROUP on April 19 at $7.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Offyarocka Crocker at this track over 1800m in a 5yo+ NR 55 to 62 on April 22 at $5.50. Looks very hard to beat.
