Ballina Race 5 - Ballina Rsl Mdn Hcp
ARCHIE MAXIMUS (2) returned last time with a solid second at Grafton over 1006m. Is sure to have come on from that and is well placed to go one better with Newman sticking. BASSETT'S CHOICE (11) couldn't quite live up to market expectation last time at Grafton after dropping back from metro racing. Mallyon reunites and can get her bouncing back sharply. CARAMELFUDGESUNDAE (9) was far from her best last time at Sunshine Coast, so should appreciate the drop in grade. Steps back in trip off a 50-day freshen, keeping the legs ticking over with a trial in-between. Worth following up. WE DO REMEMBER (14) was doing her best work late when resuming at Lismore. Kept fresh with 41 days between and is a likely improver. CROKER (3) returns for the Goldman yard. Was solid on debut back in November when third at the Gold Coast. If he's come on during the break, he can give this a shake.

Recent form sound. Most recently held ground to the line 3rd of 7 at Grafton Mdn on March 5 over 1420m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Coastal Cowboy carrying 55kg at $2.35. The race before that 4th of 9 at Eagle Farm Mdn on February 18 over 1800m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Lady Tangalooma carrying 56.5kg at $4.40. Working up to a win. Heading the right way and gets her chance to get off the mark.
