Temora Race 6

Prize Money: $2,655

PIGEON'S DESIRE (1) continues to race well but is struggling to break through, placing at his last five runs. Last start finished 2nd in a NG on August 9 over 330m at this track behind Darcy Mac beaten a nose (18.64). Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Ready to find winning form. FAITH KEEPING (2) has been in the frame at her last two runs, most recently when second (18.50) in a NG over 318m at Dubbo. Key player on best and worth another try. JAKE'S DESIRE (7) is worth forgiving for his last effort when eighth (19.25) at this track over 330m. Form from his last run is proving strong. In the mix. BALMORAL QUEEN (8) placed last time out so worth considering.

Nearing another win after her success on July 5 at this track over 330m. Last start was second over 318m in 18.50, behind Dottie Keeping. Has a blistering 18.63 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.

Strong performance to score by 1.75 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at this track, clocking a fast 18.84 over the 330m trip. Harder here but worth including in multiples.

Won two starts back at this track over 330m in 19.02. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 400m at Dubbo at NG level. This looks too tough.

Most recently finished last on August 2 over 330m at this track behind Darcy Mac beaten 8 lengths (19.25) in a NG. Has claims on best form.
