Swan Hill Race 6

Vhrc / Renown Silverware Pace

Stake: $8,800

CATALPA RESCUE (8) is in good form at present. Finished fourth at his latest appearance over 2240m at Melton, beaten 9 metres. Can settle just behind them and wait on the sprint lane. Finds a nice race and can grab a well-deserved win. SPIRIT OF ARION (4) has had two runs this prep and is yet to finish in the top three. Added to the sequence last time over 1650m at Bendigo, finishing 7 metres away from the winner in sixth. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. PAS GUARANTEE (7) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1650m at Bendigo last time out. TIGER BAND WAGON (5) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 1720m at Melton on April 19. Watch closely.

Didn't do much last start, 8th (Fr1) over 2240m at Melton was 9th-13.85 at the bell, beaten 19 m by Sahara Breeze (2:38.50) in No NR on April 19 at $101. Before that was well back in the run when 5th (Fr7) over 1650m at Bendigo, at the bell was 7th-7.69 beaten 7 m by Harryhoo (1:55.90) in NR 65 or better on April 16 at $81. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Last start was well back in the run when 9th (Fr6) over 2270m at Riverina Paceway, beaten 13 m by Boom (2:42.80) in NR up to 90 on April 19 at $31. At his previous start 8th (Fr2) over 2240m after showing early speed at Melton beaten 30 m by Dukes Choice (2:40.50) in NR 70 to 79 on April 12 at $15. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Include in all combinations.

Last start surrendered the lead and finished 10th (Fr2) over 2240m after showing early speed at Melton, beaten 40 m by Sahara Breeze (2:38.50) in No NR on April 19 at $19. Before that, a solid effort when 3rd (Sr2) over 2240m at Melton beaten 12 m by Rakero Rebel (2:36.50) in No NR on April 12 at $126. One of the better chances.

Last start 4th (Fr6) over 2240m after showing early pace at Melton, at the bell was 2nd-3.25 beaten 9 m by Sahara Breeze (2:38.50) in No NR on April 19 at $13. Before that, a good run when 2nd (Sr5) over 2600m at Mildura, beaten 2 m by Young Bluey (3:12.10) in LR No NR on April 4 at $4.60. Rates highly. Sure to be there at the business end.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
