Leeton Race 4

Garry Punch Memorial

Stake: $7,699

HAPPY TOO YA (8) finished fifth last start, beaten 5.5 metres, in a nice return to form at Temora over 2000m. May need luck at some stage extracting from the inside of the second row. Won't find this any harder and he can take this out without surprising. MAYWYNS LA NINA (1) finished eighth last start over 1635m at Temora, beaten 35 metres, after filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 1720m at Young. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. GLENBURNS WATERS (2) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1770m at Canberra last time out. GEOFFREY BEE (7) is the best of the rest after finishing sixth over 2000m at Temora last time out.

Last start was well beaten into eighth behind Olivia Shannon at Temora over 1635m in a NR 44 to 47 on March 4 at $26. Performed better the start before with a game effort when 3rd (Fr4) over 1720m after showing early pace at Young was 3rd-3.5m on the pegs at the bell, beaten 11 m by Blazin Chimes (2:06.80) in NR 45 to 48 on February 11 at $41. Very hard to beat.
