GOING: N

GOLDBET WESTERN STAR RACE DAY HERE JUNE 22 PACE 1850m

Track: GOOD      

CONVINCED (1) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 65 metres into eighth at this track over 2200m. Will enjoy a nice run from this more favourable starting position. Leading hope if things go his way. MUCH BETTOR (8) finished second last start, beaten 5.5 metres at Redcliffe over 1780m. Expected to run well. CELESTINE (3) is in the mix following a fifth at her most recent appearance over 1780m at Redcliffe. TOMMY BLIGH (7) is worth some thought after his last-start sixth over 1780m at Redcliffe on June 1. Include in all combinations.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 8th (Sr3) over 2200m at this track beaten 65 m by For No Reason (2:42.00) in NR 43 to 47 on May 25 at $6.50. The start before 7th (Fr5) over 1660m at Albion Park, beaten 20 m by Firebolt (2:00.20) in NR 45 to 49 on May 9 at $101. Better than the latest run and from a low draw gets his chance to bounce back.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Sii Sempre Tilly at Albion Park over 1660m in a NR 44 to 49 on April 8 at $41. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Jumpingjoy at Redcliffe over 1780m in a NR 45 to 49 on June 1 at $5.50. Can improve. Can win with even luck.
