GOING: N

CELEBRATING BEN & ANNE O' DONOGHUE PACE 1690m

Track: GOOD      

CLIVES GIRL (3) settled close to the pace then found the lead and kept finding to finish third last start over 2160m at Echuca, the second minor placing in a row. Has the benefit of a good draw and has the ability to take care of this field. IAMAWINGATE (2) has been racing well of late. Finished third at his latest appearance over 1650m at Bendigo, beaten 6 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw and has to be included. OUR MYSTERY BET (8) is the next elect off a last-start win by 2.5 metres at this track over 2190m. MAJOR MAURIE (4) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 2190m at this venue. One for the multiples.

Solid run when beaten by 2 m finishing fourth behind Watch It Happen at Terang over 1680m in a NR up to 42 on March 2 at $11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Polly Peachum at Bendigo over 1650m in a NR up to 42 on March 11 at $23. Should be in the finish.
