PACE WITH MATES 2 TO 4 WINS PACE 2138m

Track: GOOD      

XPRESS PARTY (5) resumes having shown some good form in NSW last campaign after switching from WA including a win two back at Penrith. Readied with a trial and has recorded a win and a placing in two fresh attempts. Looks well placed. FIRE RAISER (7) had no luck first up but was good when third from this barrier last start. Won his only previous third-up attempt so can peak. TORO LOCO (4) has to come into calculations after finishing runner-up in his three starts at this circuit since a spell. EAGLESPRIDE (1) came from the back row in a last-start win by 1.6 metres at this venue so must be respected from the ace draw.
