GOING: N

H & P EQUIPMENT HIRE PACE 1609m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 22)    

BOLT OF COBARGO (5) put the writing on the wall when second last start, beaten 4.4 metres at Globe Derby. Draws wider but looks a big chance to go one better. BUSTNLOOSE (3) went back last start but worked home in good style to finish a head from the winner in second at Gawler, his fourth time in the runner-up position from his last five starts. Draws well and could break through. DARK ECLIPSE (1) gets the ace draw and is looming as a real threat after a good effort last start, finishing third at Gawler. LOVE OF THE SEA (2) draws well for her return so keep safe.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after being driven well back, behind Skinny Horace at this track over 1609m in a 1 LIFETIME WIN on January 4 at $21. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Waitpinga Storm at Gawler over 1609m in a 1 LIFETIME WIN on March 4 at $5.50. The inside draw may see her hard to beat.
