Maryborough Race 7 - Ab Paint Pace
QUICK CRUNCH (6) made it two on the trot last time out when she led and battled on well to score by a nose at Ballarat over 2200m. Meeting a deeper field this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. WHENIMREADY (5) worked to find the lead and kept kicking only to find one better last start over 1780m at Mt Gambier, making it two minor placings in succession. Meets a comparable field and he can take this out. MYRTLE MAY (3) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 2100m at Charlton. Should run a big race. TACTICS ARE ROLLIN (7) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1609m at Charlton last time out.

Last start was well back in the run when 8th (Fr5) over 2180m after being wide early at Stawell was 10th-20.4 at the bell, beaten 16 m by Freak Out (2:45.50) on June 1 at $7.50. At the run before 11th (Fr6) over 2200m after showing early speed and racing wide at Ballarat, at the bell was 3rd-8.37 beaten 16 m by Theroux (2:42.90) on May 28 at $6.50. Draws the pegs and can bounce back.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Livermere at Horsham over 1700m on June 22 at $7.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.3 m finishing second behind Torque In Heaven at this track over 2190m on June 29 at $5. One of the better chances.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after showing early speed, behind Midnight Alibi at Bendigo over 2150m in a M on June 24 at $8.50. Stewards queried driving tactics. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Sporting Rage at Charlton over 2100m on July 6 at $3.80. Will be right in the thick of things.

Looks well placed in this tougher race, but she was impressive winning two starts back [-+] raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by a nose (Fr3) at Bendigo (2:00.70) beating Final Bow in on July 1 at $4 at the bell was 2nd-1.5. Forward performance expected.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Precious Belle at Cranbourne over 2080m on June 28 at $5. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Keayang Viper at Mt Gambier over 1780m on June 30 at $2.80. One of the primary contenders.

Rates highly on best form and can bounce back.
