GOING: G

STEVIE REDBACK PEST CONTROL PACE 1780m

Track: GOOD      

FOR NO REASON (5) finished sixth last start, beaten 24 metres at Marburg over 1850m. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. SAMMYS SECRET (1) finished fourth at this track two runs ago before finishing eighth at his latest appearance over 1780m at this track, beaten 6 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Tackles a similar assignment, and he can turn in a much better performance. THREE MACHS (2) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1780m at this track last time out. DONT FEAR FOR ME (6) cops a tough draw but must be respected after scoring last start by a head at this track over 1780m.

Two runs back won by 2.5 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr3) at this track (2:34.00) beating Gracenava in NR 38 to 42 on May 11 at $2.70. This looks a far sterner task.
