FASTEST LAST QUARTER IN APRIL - BARRY LIMBO 27.8 PACE 2040m

Track: GOOD      

ILLBEWATCHING (2) turned in a much better run last start, finishing second over 2040m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw and can lead again. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he good enough to play a major role. TIGER TOMMY (10) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 10 metres from the winner in fourth over 1780m at this track. May just need a bit of luck at some point from this difficult draw. Leading hope based on recent form. FAVREAU (5) is close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a third over 1780m at this track. Great chance to break through. HEAVENLY WISDOM (7) must be respected after scoring last start by 1.75 metres at this track over 2040m.
