Echuca Race 5 - Rich River Golf Club Pace
HELLOVATIME (6) is a newcomer to the Paul Tonkin yard having last appeared when fifth at Horsham in December. Has won when fresh before so expect him to be wound up for this. Has the ability to take care of this field. OZZIE PEARL (2) has been drawn on the back row in her last two outings so hasn't been disgraced in finishing midfield each time. Much better served by this barrier so can show more. Both career wins of MAJOR BYE (7) have come at this distance and he is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance at Bendigo. INSIDE LEG (4) strikes at 50 per cent at this venue so deserves respect.

Resuming after three months off the scene. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into fifth after a quick start, behind Grinning Beach Boy at Horsham over 1700m in a NR up to 55 on December 7 at $13. Previous preparation first-up won by a nose when quickly away, (Fr3) at Birchip (2:10.80) beating Melfield Soryt in MAIDEN on March 9 at $2.40. Has plenty of upside and will give backers a great sight.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after being driven well back, behind Feel The Reign at Bendigo over 2150m in a NR 50 to 55 on February 20 at $15. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Ooh Ah Listah at Bendigo over 1650m in a NR up to 59 on March 4 at $3.40. Heading the right way and is a leading player.
