Goulburn Race 8 - Ladbrokes Thunderbolt Heat 2
TRAVELLING GEM (8) has a strong record here with 10 wins and four placings from 15 starts. Comes off a (19.30) win last time, scoring by 3.5 lengths in a NG over 350m at this track. Looks a key chance on best form. INVITATIONS ONLY (3) finished a 5 length second last start over 350m at this track in a slick 19.86. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. CAWBOURNE DOLLAR (2) has a strong winning strike-rate over this journey with six wins and a placing from 13 tries. Was out of placings last time (30.44) at Wentworth Park in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths. Makes strong appeal on best. SHE'S FEARLESS (7) can finish much closer after missing a cheque at this track last start.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 2nd over 320m at Wagga beaten 4.5 lengths (18.16) behind Tiggerlong Bingo in a NG on May 22. Not likely to feature on this occasion.

Has failed to fire at the last couple but she does have good record over this track and distance. Well placed and among the chances here.

Improved sharply when second behind Mellcat Bad Boy at this track last start over 350m (19.86). Likely to play a major role.

Missed the frame last time when fourth (19.69) at Bulli. Prior to that had been racing well. Tends to run fairly well off the tricky draw but will need the right run to feature.

Did a good job two starts back at Dubbo to win by a nose in 23.00, beating Little King. Last start finished last over 300m at Taree Super Track beaten 22 lengths (18.49) behind Federal Player in a Grade 5 on January 7. Not keen this time.

Finished fourth last time but the start prior was an eye-catching winner after leading throughout, scoring by 5.5 lengths in a NG at Wentworth Park and clocking a dazzling 29.47 over the 520m trip. Bold showing expected on best.

Has been in tremendous form, putting three wins back-to-back. Had plenty of support last start when he won comfortably by 3.5 lengths at this track (19.30) beating Cawbourne Focus in a NG on May 22. Flying lately and can score again.
