PACING FOR PINK IN MAY PACE (SKY 1) 1800m

Track: GOOD      

IMAGE OF STARZZZ (4) finished fourth last start, beaten 16 metres at this track over 2230m. This is a nice drop in class so he is the one to beat this time. MISS ARTEMIS (1) is in good form with top-five finishes at her last five starts, most recently recording a second over 1609m at Port Pirie. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. This should be an easier assignment so she is sure to prove tough to beat again. TWIN CONNECTION (3) is better than his last-start ninth over 1800m at this track. CELESTIAL ZODIAC (6) is worth another chance after a last-start eighth over 1609m at Port Pirie three weeks ago. He will need some luck but can get a slice of the finish.

Fair performance when beaten by 4.5 m finishing fourth after a quick start, behind Jawsofselwood at Victor Harbor over 1660m in a NR up to 44 on March 31 at $4.40. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Tembie at Port Pirie over 1609m in a NR 41 to 46 on April 7 at $9.50. Heading the right way and is a leading contender.
