TASCO PETROLEUM PACE 1740m

Track: FAST      

WE DEALIN DIAMONDS (6) finished 12th last start at Listed level in a race won by Ivseenheavenslight over 2240m at Melton, beaten 110 metres. This is much easier and ready to bounce back to winning form. HOMEBOUND (4) has not raced since she finished 4 metres away in third at Bathurst over 2260m six months ago. Ready for her return following a recent trial and is sure to prove hard to beat while fresh. OUR TRIPLE MAJOR (8) is the next best after finishing third over 1730m at Bathurst last time out. One for the exotics players. Last-start winner LUVN OSMAN (3) draws to play a role again.
