LEES ORCHARD STAKES 2200m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 12)    

LOU BABY (4) made it two wins from two runs this prep last start when he got the cash by 7 metres over 2200m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Finds a suitable assignment and can again visit the winners' stall. ANOTHER NIEN (8) was responsible for a far better performance at his latest appearance, finishing second over 2090m at Hobart. May need luck at some stage extracting from the inside of the second row. Tackles a similar assignment and he can take this out without surprising. MADDIS TIGER (1) must be considered after he finished runner-up when resuming over 2200m at this track two weeks ago. WE SALUTE YOU (11) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 1609m at Hobart last time out.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4.5 m second behind Eureka Jo at this track over 2200m 3yo+ 3-6 LTW's last start. Before that was beaten 3 metres third at Hobart over 2090m in NR 70 to 79 on March 22. Right in the mix.

Fair performance when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Iden Lady Lincoln at this track over 2200m in a 3yo+ NMT 5 LTW's on May 16 at $3.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Eureka Jo at this track over 2200m in a 3yo+ 3-6 LTW's on May 25 at $15. Should be thereabouts.

Two back was well beaten into eighth after being driven well back, after a quick start, behind Triedtotellya at this track over 1680m in a No NR on May 11 at $12. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Watermelon Sugar at Hobart over 2090m in a NR 68 to 79 on May 18 at $4.60. Hard to beat.
