Swan Hill Race 8 - Swan Hill Cup Oct 30th Pace
SPORTING RAGE (6) put the writing on the wall with back-to-back seconds before he scored a commanding win last start at Charlton, leading from a similar draw to this and getting home by 7 metres. Could deliver again. MYRTLE MAY (4) was runner-up to SPORTING RAGE two back before winning last time out at Maryborough, using the sprint lane to get home by a head. Capable of another big performance. HUNGRY HOGARTH (7) draws wider but is on the radar after his last-start fourth at Melton and a close third at Charlton prior. MISS DOOBEE (2) draws better so look for improvement.

Last start was well beaten after breaking at Bendigo on June 24. At his previous start game effort when 2nd (Sr2) over 1650m at Bendigo was 3rd-4.46 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Bettorsweetvictory (1:58.50) on June 17 at $3.30. Tricky draw but best form puts him right in this.
