Echuca Race 7

Alabar Bloodstock Mares Pace

Stake: $6,100

CLIVES GIRL (4) ran third last start at Shepparton over 2190m, beaten 13 metres. Meeting a deeper field this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. WHERES WOOD WOOD (2) finished sixth last start, beaten 5 metres at Shepparton over 1690m. Expecting a very good run from the favourable draw. DANCINGONSTARLIGHT (7) is in the mix following a sixth at her most recent appearance over 2080m at Cranbourne. Strips fitter now third-up. MISS HERMES (6) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1740m at Riverina Paceway last time out. One for the exotics players.

Didn't do much at the last run, was well back in the run when 5th (Fr3) over 2190m at Maryborough, at the bell was 6th-9.2 beaten 11 m by Torque In Heaven (2:43.30) on June 29 at $61. Before that 6th (Fr3) over 1690m at Shepparton was 5th-6.58 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Shezabluechip (2:05.90) on June 9 at $31. This looks far too tough.

Last start 6th (Fr3) over 1690m after showing early speed at Shepparton, at the bell was leading 3.34 beaten 5 m by Iamawingate (2:06.30) on June 30 at $6.

Two back was seventh behind Archaa at Kilmore over 2180m on June 18 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when third behind Whats Glenda Got at Shepparton over 2190m on June 30 at $10. Top chance in this line-up.

Last start 11th (Sr4) over 1690m at Maryborough was 11th-16.6 at the bell, beaten 17 m by Kimchi (2:05.10) on June 29 at $61. Two runs back 6th (Sr1) over 2200m at Horsham was 6th-14.3 at the bell, beaten 14 m by Presidentialchange (2:46.70) on June 22 at $41. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.
