GOING: G

TONGALA LIONS CLUB PACE 2160m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 25)    

MY GREAT EIGHT (7) failed to flatter last time out when fifth, beaten 16 metres, over 1650m at Bendigo. Can travel in a nice spot from this draw and wait on the sprint lane if necessary. Primary contender if anywhere near his best. PARISIAN BANDIT (8) was in the money at Shepparton two runs ago before finishing third at his latest appearance over 1650m at Bendigo, beaten 12 metres. Leading hope if he is at his best. ATOMIC GLORY (6) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1690m at Kilmore three days ago. TASTE IT (5) is in the mix following a sixth at her most recent appearance over 1690m at Kilmore.

Returns to racing after a spell of nine months. Well beaten at the end of his last preparation when ninth at very long odds behind Treacheroustimes. Has been in work for a little while but after a lengthy break may need the run.

Fair run when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second behind Zu Hoffen at Shepparton over 1690m in a NR 36 to 40 on March 17 at $41. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after a quick start, behind Bettorsweetvictory at Bendigo over 1650m in a NR up to 40 on March 25 at $41. Can maintain the solid form.
