Leeton Race 4 - Golden Apple Pace
FOLLOW THE MONEY (3) was a beaten favourite but stuck on okay after leading for fourth at Temora last week. Has the speed to take advantage of another favourable starting position so is worth another chance. SARA TA SLOY (2) has been coming from wider or second line barriers at Wagga of late. Better served by this draw and would measure up with her best form. ALWAYSATTHEBEACH (6) hasn't been too far from the top-three since recording back-to-back placings last month and is proven at this circuit and distance. SMOKIN POCKET (7) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance at Wagga.

Didn't do much last time out, 8th (Fr3) over 1770m after being wide early at Albury beaten 35 m by Pirani Princess (2:09.20) in NR up to 47 on February 13 at $7.50. Before that 8th (Fr2) over 2270m after showing early speed at Riverina Paceway, beaten 35 m by Kyleigh (2:42.80) in NR up to 47 on February 6 at $5. Draws well but will need improvement.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr7) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway beaten 21 m by Gem N Em (2:02.80) in NR up to 58 M on April 4 at $51. The run prior 7th (Fr7) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway was 9th-16.4 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Franco Nickelback (2:02.70) in NR up to 53 on March 20 at $101. Gets her best draw for some time and with her best form she is up to this.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Le Betty at Riverina Paceway over 2270m in a NR up to 58 on March 20 at $34. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind Franco Nickelback at Riverina Paceway over 1740m in a NR up to 55 on April 4 at $26. Likely to be thereabouts.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr6) over 1740m after being wide early at Riverina Paceway, beaten 21 m by Franco Nickelback (2:03.70) in NR up to 55 on April 4 at $61. Showed ability the race before when she won by a head after showing early speed, (Fr1) at Riverina Paceway (2:05.30) beating Crimson Rock in NR up to 47 on March 27 at $5.50 at the bell was leading 3.1. Can feature if things go her way from the back row.
