Echuca Race 8

Rich River Autobody - Mal & Lorraine Keeble Pace

Prize Money: $6,000

METRO MEMORY (5) maintained the recent momentum last time out when he scored over 1690m at Maryborough, getting home by one metre after leading. Won't find this any harder and he can make it two on the trot. WINGATE GUY (4) ran fifth last start at Shepparton over 2190m, beaten 13 metres. Expected to run well. FEAR THE POWER (6) is better than his last-start eighth over 2190m at Mildura. Worth another chance. ALTA BAYAMO (7) last appeared when eighth over 1690m at Shepparton 12 weeks ago. Expect a better effort to kick off this prep.
