PRYDE'S EASIFEED CHOOSE EXCEPTIONAL ALWAYS TROTTERS RATING HANDICAP 2138m

Track: GOOD      

NORTHERN HEIGHTS (10) made a nice return at his latest appearance a week ago, coming from the back row and finishing a head away in third at this circuit and distance. Gives away a start from the 30m handicap but is a two-time second-up winner so should be improved. Leading hope. SOUTHERN DIAMOND (8) has been good in two starts since winning at this circuit and distance. Registered a strong performance last time when he came from the back row to miss by a head. Could go one better. INSTANT DELIGHT (9) didn't do a bad job when only 4.4m off the winner at this circuit and distance last time out. Each-way claims. ALADDIN SANE (7) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by a neck at Redcliffe.

Well beaten last start by Aladdin Sane, who he meets again; when 30 metres fifth at Redcliffe over 2280m in a 3yo+ NR up to 55 race on April 14. Hard to have on those efforts.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fourth behind Nellie Joy at Redcliffe over 2280m in a 3yo+ NR up to 75 on April 14 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Fredidrivsamercury at this track over 2138m in a 3yo+ NR up to 55 on April 21 at $3.20. One of the primary contenders.

Recent form below what she is capable of. Last start 5th (Fr5) over 2138m at this track, beaten 4.5 m by Fredidrivsamercury (2:40.00) in 3yo+ NR up to 55 on April 21 at $3.40. The run before 9th (50m Fr1) over 2280m at Redcliffe, well beaten by Aladdin Sane (2:56.30) in 3yo+ NR up to 55 on April 14 at $6.50. Worth another chance. Rates highly on best form and can bounce back.
