Temora Race 5 - New Wave Hair Salon Pace
GEOFFREY BEE (3) drew wider last start at Wagga and should find this easier. Came from the back row when beaten only 1.6m into second at this circuit and distance prior. Should get his chance from the good draw. PAD THAI (4) is two from two since joining Nathan Turnbull, last time leading from one spot wider before going on to score by 9 metres at Junee. Steps up in grade but winning form is hard to knock. RACING WRITER (5) should be race fit now and is right in contention after finishing runner-up for the second time in a row last start, beaten a neck at Junee. HES A TERROR (2) came from the back row to miss by a head last week when second at Junee. Draws nicely and goes very well at this circuit and distance with three wins and two placings from six attempts.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Sr2) over 1760m at Junee, beaten 20 m by Kalkadoon Dreaming (2:10.70) in NR 42 to 45 on February 24 at $15. Showed ability the run before when he came from midfield and won by 1.75 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr3) at Young (2:07.60) beating Letsgo Matilda in NR 39 to 43 on February 17 at $3.30 at the bell was 3rd-2.8. Draws the inside so can do better.

Seven-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Junee and Young. Last start won by 8 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr5) at Junee (2:11.70) beating Crimson Rock in NR 39 to 40 on February 24 at $1.28 at the bell was leading 7.4. Big chance again.

Solid run when beaten by 2.75 m finishing second behind Return Serve at this track over 1635m in a NR 44 to 48 on February 10 at $15. Then a handy effort when a close second after a quick start, behind French Street at Junee over 1760m in a NR up to 50 on February 24 at $18. Major player.
