DOWNTOWNER WARRAGUL PACING CUP FINAL 2210m

Track: GOOD      

CAN BE A RUEBE (10) went well to finish second two starts ago, then registered an effortless win last start, scoring by 8 metres over 2080m at Cranbourne. Taking on a better line-up this time, but she is good enough to play a major role. CHASING THE WIND (4) was in the money three runs back, missed at his next start, then produced another sound effort at his latest appearance over 2080m at Cranbourne, beaten 8 metres into second after being close to the pace throughout. Facing a tougher assignment, but he is up to the task. BLACKINDEED (3) is in the mix following a respectable second at her most recent appearance over 2100m at Geelong. CEE CEE LOU (11) is a consistent performer with six top-three finishes on the trot. Won't let backers down.
