GOING: N

COMFORT INN & SUITES NORTHGATE PACE 1780m

Track: GOOD      

IRK MCGLURK (4) switched from NSW where he finished eighth last start, beaten 6 metres at Forbes over 1680m after having some trouble in the run. Expected to run well in this suitable assignment. ABSOLUTELY STOKED (5) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at this track over 2040m. TULHURST SMOOCHER (8) is worth some thought after her last-start fifth over 1780m at this track. LETS GET SHORTY (2) led and stuck on for a 1.9m third last time. Drawn to give a sight again.

Backing up quickly since being well beaten this track over 1780m, 7 days ago before that was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr5) over 1780m at this track, beaten 50 m by Animore (2:10.60) in MAIDEN on April 24 at $101. This looks a far sterner test.

Solid performance when a close second behind Thundamental at this track over 1780m in a NR 40 to 44 on April 17 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.3 m finishing second behind Tarifa Girl at this track over 2040m in a NR up to 40 on April 24 at $2. Form sound and expected to measure up.
