Swan Hill Race 2

Bruzers Memorial Pace

Prize Money: $5,000

MYNAMEISRUBY (2) registered another strong performance last start when she battled on bravely to finish second at Melton, making it two placings on the trot. Likely to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Gets her chance to break through. ESPERANZA (4) came from a wider barrier and finished second at her latest appearance at Charlton, beaten 2.2 metres. Chance to go one better. PUNTO CALIENTE (7) draws wide but must be considered after he finished runner-up at Mildura a week ago. SUNSHINE WARRIOR (8) draws for a trail and has some claims off a win three back at Mildura.

Solid run when beaten by 2.75 m finishing third behind Iamawingate at Shepparton over 1690m on June 30 at $12. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Dreamtime Nala at Melton over 2240m on July 15 at $2.50. Close to a win and gets her chance from this draw.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fifth after showing early speed, behind Ozzie Pearl at Tamworth over 1609m in a M on June 25 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Torque In Heaven at Charlton over 2100m on July 6 at $2.30. Draws for another strong showing.

Last start, when first-up 10th (Fr3) over 2190m after showing early pace at Mildura beaten 85 m by Sneaky Philtra (2:45.60) on July 17 at $3. Capable of a lot more than he has shown of late. Will come on from that run so could improve.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Sneaky Philtra at Mildura over 2190m on July 10 at $8. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second after being driven well back, behind Daylight at Mildura over 2190m on July 17 at $6. Rates highly. Can continue the good form.
