Leeton Race 2 - Gary Punch Memorial
SECURITY CHECK (3) finished third at Junee on February 24 before making up plenty of ground but finding a couple better at his latest appearance over 1635m at Temora. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets a comparable field and he can figure in the finish. THE BANKER NZ (4) finished fourth at Riverina Paceway two runs ago before a comparable effort at his latest appearance over 1740m there, beaten 6 metres. Meets a similar quality field and is good enough to win a race of this calibre. THE CLOCK WINDER (5) is better than his first-up tenth over 1740m at Riverina Paceway a week-and-a-half ago. Strips fitter now. ALL SO SASSY (8) is in the mix following a fifth at her most recent appearance over 1635m at Temora. One for the multiples.

Last start 8th (Sr2) over 1760m at Junee was 8th-20.2 at the bell, beaten 19 m by Feelgood Ray (2:10.80) in NR 36 to 38 on February 24 at $41. At the run before was well back in the run when 8th (Fr6) over 1635m at Temora, at the bell was 8th-18.2 beaten 16 m by Sokys Falcon (2:00.50) in NR 37 to 39 on February 10 at $51. Anticipate a far better run this time.

Two back was third behind Pad Thai at Junee over 1760m in a NR 39 to 40 on February 24 at $7. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Crimson Rock at Temora over 1635m in a NR 37 to 40 on March 3 at $14. Major player.

Last start was well back in the run when 7th (Fr3) over 1635m at Temora, beaten 25 m by Crimson Rock (2:00.50) in NR 37 to 40 on March 3 at $101. Two runs back 8th (Fr6) over 1760m after showing early pace at Junee beaten 55 m by Pad Thai (2:11.70) in NR 39 to 40 on February 24 at $81. This looks far too tough.
