GOING: F

PRYDE'S EXCEPTIONAL ALWAYS PACE 1609m

Track: FAST      

MICK DANGER (9) has been taking on stronger company than this so far campaign and hasn't been too far away. Put the writing on the wall when beaten only 2.5 metres here last start. Draws wide but this is a nice drop in grade so he is in the right race to get the job done. LOCHIEL (1) was well supported when returning to winning form at this circuit and distance last time, coming from wider to score by 1.4 metres. This is stronger but he has the benefit of the inside draw. TINDER SURPRISE (6) hasn't for 21 months when putting together a string of placings here but he has been readied with two trials and is a two-time fresh winner. GIVE ME A MINUTE (2) improved for second last time and should be improved again third-up so is a player from the good draw.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing ninth after being driven well back, behind Captain Blood at this track over 1609m in a NR 64 to 70 on April 15 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Port Au Prince at Newcastle over 1609m in a NR up to 90 on April 25 at $3.30. Heading the right way and is a player.
