Echuca Race 8 - Mackenzie Family Shadoways Sprint (Bm70)
NORDIC STRIKE (3) won two on end before missing the frame last time over 1200m at Cranbourne, where he overraced on speed. Better suited here and drops back 200m briefly freshened. In the premier stable and can bounce back. MARTIAL MUSIC (1) hasn't raced since finishing fourth at Caulfield over 1000m five weeks ago. Kept ticking over with a recent trial win at Caulfield Heath. Expected to measure right up in this company with a 4kg claimer engaged. In a top barn and is the threat. DOCUMENTARY (5) resumes and is proven fresh. Jumps from an inside barrier and can make the finish if presented on-song. Stablemate IMPENDING SHADOW (7) resumes and flies fresh. She also has enough ability to consider.

Second run back. Comes off a 36-day let-up. First-up after four months sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 9 at Caulfield Bm70 on January 31 over 1000m, 3 len behind Castellar with 59.5kg at $7. Previously second-up 4th of 12 at Sandown-Hillside Bm70 on July 16 over 1000m, on a slow track; neck behind Rattle And Bang with 57kg at $5.50. Plenty of improvement to come and go close.

Racing well recently. At the latest run 2nd of 8 at Ballarat Bm70 on February 22 over 1000m, 2.75 len behind Nimbustwothousand carrying 56.5kg at $31. Before that came from midfield and won by a nose at Ballarat Bm56 February 14 over 1000m defeating Simply Sassy carrying 58.5kg at $12. Definite winning chance. Not the worst.
