Swan Hill Race 3 - Vhrc / Gbl Properties Pace
EARS THE BOSS (4) put the writing on the wall when he finished second last start, beaten 2.6 metres at Cranbourne. Draws wider but finds a suitable assignment so he can play a big role in the outcome. OZZIE PEARL (6) recorded a strong performance last time when she came from wide on the back row for a 1.2m third at Bendigo. That was her second placing from her last three starts so her hoof is on the till. BET ON ACES (2) hasn't raced since a third at Kilmore 20 months ago but was readied with a trial and draws well. LITTLE WHIPPET (3) looks close to a win following back-to-back placings, last time coming from this barrier to miss by a neck when second at Bendigo.

Resuming after a spell of 20 months. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into third after a quick start, behind Chasing Rex at Kilmore over 2180m in a 3yo+ MAIDEN on August 1 2024 at $21. Draws well so can be there at the business end.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after a quick start, behind Breathe Easy at Charlton over 1609m in a NR 41 to 45 on February 16 at $11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Binalong Mate at Cranbourne over 1609m in a 0-1 WIN on February 22 at $51. Top chance.

Backing up quickly since being well beaten Shepparton over 2190m, 7 days ago and two back was well back in the run when 8th (Fr3) over 2190m at Shepparton, beaten 24 m by Sumthin Else (2:43.10) in NR up to 51 on March 3 at $9.50. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Improved last start with a game effort when 3rd (Sr5) over 2150m at Bendigo beaten 1.2 m by The Golden Hook (2:35.90) in NR 47 to 51 on March 25 at $23. Can improve. Heading the right way and is a leading player.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr2) over 1900m at Boort, beaten 55 m by Classact (2:23.90) in NR 45 to 49 on March 1 at $26. At the start before was driven from back in the field when 10th (Fr6) over 1690m after racing wide at Shepparton, beaten 70 m by Random Mahoney (2:02.70) in NR 47 to 51 on February 10 at $151. Capable of far better.
