BRUCES SHAVE FOR A CAUSE CONCESSION DRIVERS PACE 1690m

Track: GOOD      

ROYLE BLOOD (9) recorded a fourth successive placing when she worked home in good style to finish 5.6 metres from the winner in third at this circuit last time. Draws on the back row but has a good record when racing over this shorter distance here with two wins and two placings from six attempts. Can break through. CLIVES GIRL (7) toughed out a win two back before a good showing last week, beaten 4.7 metres into fourth. Draws wider but strikes at 50 per cent at this circuit and distance. IAMAWINGATE (8) came from this barrier when he won here three back. Genuine threat. MAJOR BILL (6) can progress off a respectable third when resuming at this venue.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.25 m finishing third behind Heavens Badgirl at Riverina Paceway over 1740m in a 2 WINs M on April 15 at $7.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Telern Lofty at this track over 2190m in a 0-1 WIN on April 22 at $12. Could break through.
