GOING:

MAJOR OAK THEATRE RESTAURANT PACE 1720m

Track: GOOD      

LOUS PROMISE (8) is a big query returning after two years but he showed ability in his only start, winning at this venue. Readied with three decent trials so should be ready to go. TIGER EUPHEME (9) was successful last start by 1.3 metres in a strong performance at this circuit and distance. Hard to know where she gets to from this draw but she is going well. HESHARLEY (10) came from this row when winning three back at this circuit and distance and has been good since. Contender with even luck. SHARK DANCER (7) has claims off a win from this barrier two back at Newcastle.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Bettorleftalone at this track over 1720m in a NR up to 52 on April 9 at $51. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Tiger Eupheme at this track over 1720m in a NR up to 48 on April 16 at $4.20. Can continue with the good form.
