Lightning Ridge Race 2

Hcp (C1)

Prize Money: $12,000

SHADES OF TRUTH (3) last appeared when she finished eighth over 1000m at Warren on December 12. Comes here with definite claims. SPOTTED (2) ran fifth at his latest appearance over 1000m at Gunnedah, clocking in 2.5 lengths from the winner. Has a win and one placing at this journey from four starts. Well placed and should be tough to beat. TREAD THE BOARDS (5) had a bit on her rivals last time out, scoring an impressive 2.5 lengths maiden win over 1000m at Crookwell. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Harder task ahead this time but can measure up. JOHNNY BOZ (1) finished second over 1760m at Binnaway at his most recent appearance on May 3. Can make his presence felt.
