Ouyen Race 3

Shaddocks Freight Pace

Prize Money: $7,000

ROCKNROLL WILLOW (5) drew wide last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 19 metres into seventh at Menangle over 1609m. Finds a suitable assignment and can turn things around. EYENEEDTHAT (3) finished fourth last start, beaten 11 metres at Melton over 1720m. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. YAPPER (4) ended last prep with a eighth at Charlton over 2100m five months ago. Can open this campaign with a more positive effort. NUGGET ROGERS (7) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 2150m at Bendigo last time out. Top 3 claims.

Last start was well beaten into seventh behind Arrhythmia at Menangle over 1609m in a 3yo No NR F on April 25 at $15. Performed better the start before where she posted a big 13 m win (Sr3) at Hamilton (1:56.70) beating Backbeach Peter in 0-2 WINs on April 13 at $4.20. Great chance to bounce back.

Last start 5th (Sr3) over 2150m at Bendigo beaten 9 m by Major Blitz (2:33.10) in NR 56 to 64 on April 29 at $21. At the run before 9th (Fr4) over 2190m after showing early speed at Shepparton beaten 40 m by Sea Fury (2:37.70) in NR up to 65 on March 8 at $6. Rates highly and likely to be prominent again.
