Leeton Race 6 - Painting Family Memorial
CHANCETOWIN (2) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 35 metres into fifth at Riverina Paceway over 1740m. Meets a comparable field and from a far better starting position he can play a major role. THROWDOWN HOEDOWN (1) was out of the money two back at Junee. Turned in a better run last time out when third over 1740m at Riverina Paceway, beaten 25 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw and can give this a mighty shake. EMIKO (6) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at Temora over 1635m. Genuine threat. SHIFTY FRISBY (4) should be forward enough to run a big race first-up from a layoff following four trials. Any market moves must be noted.

Last start was fifth behind Sports Look at Riverina Paceway over 1740m in a MAIDEN on February 27 at $6.50. Raced better the start before that with a solid effort when 3rd (Fr1) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway, beaten 5 m by Captain Corbie (2:06.90) in MAIDEN on February 20 at $8. Looks very hard to beat.
