GOING: SS

THE EDR EQUINE EXCELLENCE EXTRAVAGANAZA MOBILE PACE 1980m

Track: SLOW      

CHEER THE CAPTAIN (8) made it two wins from his last three outings a week-and-a-half ago, getting home by 1.1 metres over 2050m at Phar Lap Raceway. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. CELESTIAL SEA (4) was racing with great purpose before the latest appearance when she got the job done again, scoring by 2.25 metres over 1980m at this track. Tackles a similar assignment and she can go right on with the job. SOCIAL DISTANCING (5) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 0.8 metres at Phar Lap Raceway over 2600m. AUNTIE DEB (2) should not have any excuses from the favourable draw. Include in exotic bets.

Solid run when beaten by 1.4 m finishing second behind Deceptive Lee at this track over 2600m in a 4yo+ on April 19 at $32.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second behind Sweet Raine at this track over 1980m in a 3yo+ on April 25 at $8.90. Great chance to take this out from a more favourable gate.
