GOING:

OKRFM PACE (1ST HEAT) 2180m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 38)    

TUPELO BEACH (7) is heading in the right direction and put the writing on the wall last week when he came from the back row and raced wide in the latter stages but was beaten less than 2m into third. Draws wide but has won two of three attempts at this circuit and distance. Could add another. FEEL THE REIGN (5) performed well from a similar barrier to this at this circuit and distance last week, beaten 2.2m into third. Can make an impact again. OUR BELLA LUCIA (3) draws well and owns a strong strike rate at this circuit and distance. LORD VERDE (1) and GLENLINE (2) both started from the back row last time so are better served by front line draws tonight.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Riveera at Shepparton over 1690m in a NR up to 49 on December 2 at $9.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing third behind Aveiro at this track over 1690m in a NR up to 50 on December 11 at $5. Looks very hard to beat.
