Leeton Race 8 - Tab Venue Mode Pace
LIFE GETS BETTER (9) has been racing well of late and made it back-to-back placings when third at her latest appearance at Temora, beaten 3.4 metres. Came from this barrier to miss by just a neck two back at Junee. Leading hope. KARDESLER NZ (6) did a good job in his first outing for a new yard at his latest appearance at Junee, beaten just 1.8 metres into fourth. Draws wider but looks capable of another strong performance. ARKLOW (5) was solid when fifth from the back line at Temora last time out. HOLZHAUER (2) wasn't far from the placegetters when off the second line last week and should not have any excuses from the favourable draw.

Last start was well back in the run when 6th (Fr6) over 1635m at Temora was 6th-8.1 at the bell, beaten 14 m by Mastablasta (2:02.00) in NR up to 33 on April 6 at $51. Two runs back 10th (Fr3) over 1760m at Junee beaten 35 m by Letstacoboutit (2:14.30) in NR up to 33 on March 31 at $34. This will be too tough.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start 5th (Sr3) over 1635m at Temora was 8th-12.1 at the bell, beaten 11 m by Mastablasta (2:02.00) in NR up to 33 on April 6 at $5.50. The run prior 7th (Fr3) over 1760m after showing early speed at Junee, at the bell was 2nd-1.6 beaten 15 m by Jungle Shark (2:13.40) in NR 34 to 38 on March 31 at $2.50. Better than the last run so worth another chance.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3.5 m third behind Mastablasta at Temora over 1635m NR up to 33 last start. Before that was beaten a neck third at Junee over 1760m same class on March 31. With even luck she could break through.
