Junee Race 6 - Kohnkes Own Pace
JUNGLE SHARK (5) had been racing in great heart then kept the ball rolling last start when she finished second over 1760m at this track, beaten 3 metres. That latest effort is good enough to put her right in the finish. ALICE ON THE BEACH (2) is in good form with top-five finishes at her last four starts, most recently recording a third over 1635m at Temora. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run and rates a big chance in this comparable race. MAGIC SHOOS (1) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Newcastle. Include from the coveted pegs draw. OUR ULTIMATE BONNY (8) disappointed last time when sixth over 1720m at Young. Can do a lot better so worth considering for the exotics.

Last start 6th (Fr8) over 1609m after showing early speed at Newcastle, at the bell was 4th-5.07 beaten 8 m by Gunfightersghost (1:57.30) in NR 37 to 39 on February 9 at $41. The run before 8th (Fr7) over 1609m at Newcastle beaten 16 m by Penurious (1:56.50) in NR 38 to 42 on January 19 at $71. Fitter now and looks tough to beat from the pegs.

Last start was third behind Bettes Blue Violet at Temora over 1635m in a NR up to 47 M on March 3 at $16.

Didn't do much last start, 10th (Fr2) over 1758m after showing early pace at Leeton, well beaten by Wongalea Meg (2:13.10) in NR 34 to 35 on March 10 at $2.20. Before that was well back in the run when 9th (Fr6) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway beaten 8 m by Pirani Princess (2:05.20) in NR up to 48 on February 27 at $81. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Two back was seventh after being driven well back, behind Burton at Riverina Paceway over 2270m in a NR up to 47 on March 6 at $16. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Goodtime Jazzi at this track over 1760m in a NR 33 to 35 on March 17 at $1.85. Should be in the finish again.

Returns after six months in the paddock. Finished off last campaign when sixth after a quick start, behind Owen The Saints at Bendigo over 1650m in a NR up to 50 on October 1 at $71. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Sure to go well while fresh.
