GOING: N

HAEUSLERS ECHUCA PACE 1650m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 17)    

HES FROM HEAVEN (8) was forced to work before finishing fifth at Melton last time, his first outing since campaigning in NZ late last year. Won his only attempt at this circuit and distance and is two from two when second-up so should be improved. Draws for a trail and looks well placed. DESSIE GEE (7) faded after working last start but had placed in his previous three outings at Melton. Draws wide but loves this distance with seven wins and three placings from 13 attempts. MONGIANA (2) has finished top-three in his last four outings including a Shepparton win two back and a Wagga Cup placing last time. Freshened since but draws to play a role. TOORAM CEE CEE (1) has recorded a win and a placing from back row draws in two outings since spell. Aided by the ace draw and has yet to miss a place at this circuit and distance.
