Swan Hill Hire Drought Breaker 1600m Track: Soft 5 Clear (Max: 17) Rail: True Entire Circuit. |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Solid tempo anticipated with Saraya heading them off. The famous reverse-ballot Drought Breaker, where preference is given to horses with the most starts. BROKEN IMAGE (8) has had 15 starts and placed six times, which is a healthy strike-rate compared to most rivals. Third placings at her past two should have her primed to strike here. TORNADO ANWA (14) is one who has had a few goes (29 starts) but the most recent of them was Thursday at Geelong, when she placed at monster odds, and if she runs up to that she's right in this. INFER (3) is hard to come into off recent runs, but he's with Toby Lake now and gets Harry Coffey. SARAYA (13) is a local who's the lone last-start second placegetter in the race, which warrants respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 8,14,3,13.
