Swan Hill Race 4

Central Murray Live Pace

Prize Money: $8,000

HES ALL TORQUE (7) has been good of late and kept the ball rolling last time when a head from the winner in third at Horsham. That was his fourth placing in six starts since a Melton win. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw but he is a primary contender with even luck. STEEL THE MOMENT (1) was good from much wider when a 1.2m second two starts back then drew on the second line and finished fourth last start at Melton. Has won here before and should get his chance from the ace draw. CLYMENUS NZ (6) draws wide but has been going around in tougher races at Melton including a second last month. HOORAH PHILTRA (3) put together a string of wins and placings before breaking last start. Has trialled nicely twice since and draws well so is worth another chance.

Last start was well beaten into fourth behind Viney at Melton over 1720m in a NR 56 to 64 on October 24 at $26. Performed better the start before with a solid effort when 2nd (Fr5) over 1690m after showing early pace at Maryborough, at the bell was 4th-8.4 beaten 1.2 m by Komodo (2:01.20) in NR 56 to 64 on October 13 at $2.25. Gets the ace draw and is likely to play a major role.

Failed to impress last start; was well beaten after breaking at this track on October 17. Showed ability the race before when he won by a head as favourite (Sr2) at Shepparton (2:03.00) beating Norms Lady in NR 56 to 64 on October 7 at $2.15. Draws to play a role.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following October 7 run. Just managed to hang on and win ran on from midfield and won by a neck (Sr2) at this track (2:04.30) beating Le Betty in NR 56 to 64 on October 17 at $71 at the bell was 2nd-2.6. This race will be harder than that win. This is tougher.

Seven-year-old gelding showed improvement last start. Surrendered the lead and finished 2nd (Fr4) over 1790m after showing early speed at Mildura was 2nd-4.6 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Maxy Wants To Play (2:10.40) in NR 65 or better on October 21 at $23. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into fifth behind Alot Like Louie at this track over 2240m in a NR 65 to 80 on October 17 at $31. Go well.

Improved last start with a solid effort when 3rd (Fr1) over 1700m after showing early pace at Horsham, beaten a head by Santa Casa Beach (2:02.60) in NR 65 or better on October 6 at $5. Can win with even luck.
