Swan Hill Race 4 - Swan Hill Stallion Tender Opens In September Pace
LISTEN TO THE HAND (8) was impressive in leading and going on to score first-up last week by 11 metres at Mildura. Drawn to enjoy an economical run and might sweat on the sprint lane. Can win again with even luck. WOODVILLE FLYER (2) worked to find the lead and kept finding to salute last time out at Ballarat. No excuses from a lower draw so could go on with it. DON CRUNCH (4) will be close to peak fitness third-up and is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing 1.3m away in second at Maryborough. SIARGAO ISLAND (9) continued a series of top-two results from last campaign when he resumed with a second at Mildura. Tougher draw but should strip fitter.

Hard to fault of late. Last start won by 4 m when quickly away, (Fr5) at Ballarat (2:43.80) beating Imallattitude in on July 9 at $3.60 at the bell was leading 1.75. Racing well and from a low draw is expected to measure up again.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after being driven well back, behind Five Cent at Charlton over 2100m on July 6 at $7. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.3 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Cocosworld at Maryborough over 1690m in a 3yo+ on July 13 at $21. Open to further progression so has winning claims.

Second-up here following a spell. Broke in score up and was out of position at the start good run when 2nd (Fr1) over 2190m after showing early speed at Mildura, beaten 21 m by Kyoretsu (2:42.00) on July 17 at $6. Should improve so expected to run well again.
