Temora Race 5 - Rick Firman Menswear Pace
JUNGLE SHARK (1) will find this easier than the last attempt from a wide barrier at Wagga. Had been racing well prior including a 3m third at Junee two back when she drew out and raced parked but boxed on. Should get every chance from the ace draw. ARKLOW (2) has come from this barrier to finish runner-up in her last three outings, beaten only 2m in last week's appearance at Young. Has the hoof on the till and could break through. MELATI BOY (7) has been thereabouts of late, adding to a string of top-four finishes with a good effort last time out for third at Young. Go well again. Last-start placegetter SOKYS FALCON (3) is improving with racing this time in and could peak fourth-up aided by a low draw.

Last start was well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind Savoy Ballroom at Riverina Paceway over 2270m in a NR up to 47 on February 6 at $21. Performed better the start before with a solid effort when 3rd (Fr6) over 1760m at Junee beaten 3 m by Flexi Bet (2:14.90) in NR up to 42 on January 24 at $34. Should get her chance to win from this draw.

Solid run when beaten by 1.1 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Thats The Attitude at Junee over 1760m in a NR up to 42 on January 24 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Rockin Sweet at Young over 1720m in a NR up to 37 on February 3 at $6. Bold showing expected again.
