MARYBOROUGH LOCKSMITHS PACING CUP 2690m Track: GOOD |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
WAR DAN BUDDY (1) is a genuine black-type performer who was too good last start, winning at Listed level over 2240m at Melton by 3 metres. Ideally drawn and can win again in this easier race. BAY OF BISCAY (10) turned in another strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to finish third over 1720m at Melton, adding to his impressive overall record. No favours expected from this draw. Meets a similar line up and he is a strong winning hope. CALEXICO (8) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 2300m at Menangle after having raced in behind the leader to the turn. HES FROM HEAVEN (5) comes here fresh from a third in a Listed feature won by War Dan Buddy four weeks ago over 2240m at Melton. Should enjoy a lovely run and looks a genuine contender.

Posted a big 9 m win after showing early speed, (Fr6) at Bendigo (2:33.60) beating Medina in on May 20 at $3.70. The run before was not as impressive when beaten by 5.5 m finishing fifth after being driven well back, behind Operative Line at Melton over 1200m on May 2 at $61. This looks a far sterner task. |
