Goulburn Race 9

Ladbrokes Million Dollar Chase Regional Heat 2 H

Prize Money: $3,430

GOLD FORCE (8) scored (24.27) last time out at this track adding to an already respectable career. Goes very well at the trip finding the frame in each of six starts. The form out of his last race has been franked. Looks to have an edge on most of these. SMOOTH PLANE (7) box seated before sticking on well to finish one length away in second (29.70) at The Meadows in a Free For All over 525m. Goes very well from this draw with seven wins and four minor placings from 12 starts. Can feature again. IMANI (1) missed the frame latest when fifth at Bulli (26.77) but was a winner three back in the second best time of the program. Should be thereabouts. SAINT RICO (2) is worth a look over a shorter trip this time.

Missed the frame latest (29.94) when fourth over 520m at Wentworth Park in a Grade 5. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Among the main chances.

Won two starts back at Temora over 457m in 25.99. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 457m at Temora at NG level. Others make more appeal.

Strong performance leading throughout to post a big 3.5 lengths victory in a NG last start at Wentworth Park, recording an exceptional 29.60 over the 520m journey. Should be in this for a long way.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a one length second at The Meadows but did record a scintillating 29.70 over the 525m trip. Expected to go close with a repeat of latest.

Impressive performance to post a big 15 lengths win at this track over 440m (24.27) beating Zipping Marquez in Grade 4/5 on August 29. Returned in great order and can make it back to back wins.
