GOLDEN APPLE PACE 2147m

Track: FAST   Clear (Max: 21)    

SMOKIN POCKET (5) is in good form at present. Finished third at his latest appearance over 2000m at Temora, beaten 9 metres. Meets a comparable field and he can find winning ways. SCOTTIE MACH (8) turned in a strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1740m at Riverina Paceway. Drawn to enjoy a nice run, with luck possibly playing a role at some point. Finds a suitable assignment and he can salute. BURTON (10) has been hard to fault of late, adding to the winning tally last start with success over 2270m at Riverina Paceway. No reason why the run cannot continue. TEARIN UP THE SAND (4) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1730m at Bathurst. May earn some minor money.
