GOING: N

BETAVET PACE (2ND HEAT) 1609m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 12)    

DEVILS BLING (6) was out of the money two back at Dubbo. Turned in a better run last time out when third over 2210m at Warragul, beaten 8 metres. Meets a similar lineup and he can play a big role. EYE SEE AMOUR (7) finished fourth last start, beaten 12 metres at Ballarat over 1710m. Expect him to be prominent. IM FIELD MAJOR (9) is back from a let-up. Races well at this distance. Looking for a good showing with even luck. SELF EXCLUSION (3) is up in grade but draws well and is worth including off a last-start win by a head at Melton.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following May 29 run. Last start tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; posted a big 8 m win as favourite (Fr6) at this track (2:33.80) beating Speculator in NR up to 39 on June 1 at $1.95 at the bell was 2nd-3.11. This race will be harder than that win. Found a few ahead of him.

Two back was well beaten into tenth after being driven well back, behind Roll To The Top at Dubbo over 2120m in a NR up to 52 on May 23 at $71. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Groom at Warragul over 2210m in a NR up to 49 on June 9 at $1.85. Stewards queried driving tactics. Nice effort last time. Gets his chance to break through.
