GOING:

KEN MILLER MEMORIAL PACE 1790m

Track: GOOD      

IMA CHARMA (1) made it two wins from his last five appearances two weeks ago, getting home by 5.5 metres over 1609m at Cranbourne. Has the benefit of a good draw, and can win again. ATA RANGI (8) continued his impressive run of recent efforts last start when runner-up over 1609m at Cranbourne, beaten 2.75 metres. Can travel in a nice spot from this draw and wait on the sprint lane if necessary. Finds a nice race and will prove very tough to beat once more. WILD BULL (3) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished fifth at Riverina Paceway over 2270m. CITY ROCKSTAR (5) is worth some thought based on her victory over 1790m at Ararat two runs ago. Each way value.

Didn't do much last start, 6th (Fr5) over 1609m at Cranbourne was 4th-7.69 at the bell, beaten 14 m by Soho Darknstormy (1:55.10) in NR 55 to 64 on June 1 at $81. Before that 8th (Sr1) over 1720m at Melton beaten 18 m by Our Saydie Kay (2:03.00) in NR 55 to 64 on May 23 at $23. This looks too tough.

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Sr4) over 1609m at Geelong, beaten 11 m by Gunforhire (1:58.90) in NR 50 to 55 on May 30 at $6. Showed ability the run before when she won by a neck after showing early speed, (Fr2) at Ararat (2:13.20) beating Lombok in NR 56 to 64 on May 14 at $6.50. Great chance to bounce back.

Last start 5th (Fr4) over 1609m at Geelong, beaten 6 m by Dance Affair (1:55.30) in NR 56 to 64 on May 30 at $10. At the run before solid effort when 2nd (Fr1) over 1609m after showing early pace at Geelong beaten 3.5 m by Dance Affair (1:54.60) in NR 56 to 64 on May 16 at $9. One of the better chances.

Solid performance when a close second behind Our Saydie Kay at Melton over 1720m in a NR 55 to 64 on May 23 at $3.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.75 m finishing second behind Soho Darknstormy at Cranbourne over 1609m in a NR 55 to 64 on June 1 at $3.90. Great chance to break through.
