Wangaratta Race 6

Apco Wangaratta Pace

Prize Money: $6,000

THE IRISHMAN (2) returned from a spell and did well to finish second last start, beaten a head at Albury over 1770m after settling in front. No excuses from this advantageous draw. That latest effort is good enough to win a race of this calibre. WITH IN REASON (1) was without a win before finding his best last start to score by 13 metres over 2250m at Boort a week ago. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Leading hope in a similar assignment. FOREGONE CONCLUSION (6) is right in contention after finishing in the placings for the second time in a row last start, beaten 7 metres into third at Charlton. No reason he cannot take this out. SOPHIES SCOOTER (4) is worth some thought based on her third over 1690m at Shepparton two runs ago.

In good form recently. Last start won by 13 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr4) at Boort (2:51.50) beating Treacherous Jewel in MAIDEN on March 2 at $1.08. Rates highly and is a major threat.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.25 m finishing third behind Platinum Jive at Ballarat over 2200m in a NR 50 to 55 on February 20 at $23. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Ideal Moth at Charlton over 1609m in a NR 51 to 56 on February 26 at $26. Should be there at the business end.
