Temora Race 5

Ladbrokes Temora Gbota Cup Heat 1 H

Stake: $6,188

CHIEF LIGHTNING (8) shapes well after a fast run last time, finishing second in a NG at Richmond in 29.54. Top win latest and can measure up again. SOOTY KEEPING (4) is a super honest type rarely out of the placings, including wins at her last two on end, the latest at Richmond (29.37). Tends to go well on this box draw. Expected to feature on best form. ALI TANGO (3) scored last time and appeals as a top-three prospect.

Missed the frame latest (26.21) when fourth over 457m at this track in a Grade 4/5. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and three places from seven starts. Will need the right run.

Eye-catching performance to post a big 3.5 lengths victory in a Grade 5 last start at Wentworth Park, clocking a brilliant 29.72 for the 520m trip. Harder here but warrants respect on latest.

Did a good job two starts back at Wentworth Park to win by 3.5 lengths in 30.06, beating Ashby Flash. Last start finished 4th in a NG on February 8 over 605m at Dubbo behind Red Hot Frankie beaten 1.3 lengths (35.36). Others hold stronger claims.

Form has been strong, including a victory two starts back. Last time out finished 2nd over 400m at Wagga beaten 0.8 lengths (23.00) behind Bianca's Eyelash in a Grade 4/5 on February 14. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 520m at Richmond clocking 29.54. Going well and can bounce back to winning form.
