Temora Race 8

Pike's Painting Heat 2 H

Prize Money: $3,135

SECRET JOKER (3) drew a squeeze box and was game in defeat when a close second, 2 lengths from the winner How High (25.69) at this track. Can measure up this time. LONG DARK ROAD (2) is on a hot streak recording a 24.96 win over 431m at Gunnedah last start following on from a handy 22.83 victory at Dubbo over 400m the start prior. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. MOB MENTALITY (8) is a consistent dog overall, in the frame at five of 15 starts including five wins but missed the frame latest when fourth (30.85) over 520m at Wentworth Park. Performs well off this draw. Expected to feature on best form. BLUE SWALLOW (1) has top-three aspirations after placing at big odds last time.

Comments

Risky starter who put in a fair effort in easier race last start. Yet to miss the frame when drawn the rails and will take some catching if jumps well. Holds top-three claims.

Lifted to win two runs back and got the cash again last start over 431m at Gunnedah (24.96,) beating Ava's Milo. In top form and can make it three straight.

Finished in the minors last time in a Grade 5 at this track when a 2 length second but did run a head turning 25.69 over the 457m journey. Has the ability and looks a key chance again.

Won two starts back at Richmond over 520m in 30.16. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 570m at this track at Grade 5 level. Not suited by wide draw, looking to others this time.
