Young Race 5 - Swsbank Pace
SHES GOT A REASON (2) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at her last nine starts including a second most recently at Junee over 1760m. No excuses from this advantageous draw and rates a primary contender in this comparable race. LOYOLA GOLF (4) settled up close before finding the lead and going on with the job to win for second time in a row last start over 1720m at Dubbo, getting there by 2.25 metres. Big chance based on those recent efforts. BUTTER CUP (1) did a good job to finish in the minor placings two runs back then things went sour last time when she broke and finished a long way back in tenth over 1760m at Junee. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position and rates a live chance in a similar assignment. POTTER (9) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1760m at Junee. Can earn some minor money.

Last start was tenth behind Bettes Blue Violet at Junee over 1760m in a NR up to 50 M on March 17 at $3.80. Performed better the start before with a solid effort when 2nd (Sr2) over 1660m at Parkes, at the bell was 4th-4.2 beaten 1.5 m by Jewel Mistress (2:03.10) in NR up to 50 M on March 6 at $2.10. Looks very hard to beat from the pegs draw.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.3 m second behind Bettes Blue Violet at Junee over 1760m NR up to 50 M last start. Before that was beaten a nose second at Leeton over 2147m in NR up to 52 on March 10. Big chance again.

Two back was fifth after being driven well back, behind Swedish Meatballs at Leeton over 2147m in a NR up to 52 on March 10 at $9.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Kalkadoon Dreaming at Junee over 1760m in a NR up to 53 on March 17 at $10. Starts from a good draw and shapes as one to consider.

11-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Dubbo and Parkes. Last start won by 2.25 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr4) at Dubbo (2:05.10) beating Excuse To Cullect in NR 46 to 48 on March 15 at $1.45 at the bell was leading 3.5. Form excellent and expected to be in the finish again.

Last start 9th (Sr2) over 1770m at Canberra, at the bell was 8th-18.3 beaten 15 m by Emerging Deal (2:09.20) in NR up to 53 on March 15 at $23. Two runs back 3rd (Sr2) over 1770m at Canberra beaten 10 m by Highlands Warrior (2:10.80) in NR up to 53 on March 9 at $10. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.
