GOING: N

METALWORX FIRE PLUMBING & SHEETMETAL PACE 1780m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 26)    

LIVERMERE (4) put the writing on the wall when she came from a wider barrier and finished third last start at Hamilton. Has the ability to take care of this field. SMOKIN STREPO (2) was fourth here two back and solid again when fifth last start at Hamilton. Ticking along well and draws for another good showing. ELLI JOH (6) has been racing in Victoria but is better placed having won four of six tries at this distance including both times she has attempted it here. HILLDALE SUNRISE (5) must be included on the back of a string of top-four finishes, most recently when third at this circuit and distance.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Wow You Can Dance at this track over 1780m in a 4yo+ NR up to 40 on March 14 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third behind Dancin With Elvis at this track over 1780m in a NR up to 39 on April 7 at $3.40. Has been racing well and can play a role again.
