Swan Hill Race 8

Majestic Son @ Alabar Trot

Prize Money: $5,000

THE CHOOK (6) finished fourth last start, beaten 9 metres at Melton over 2240m. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. WALKIN UNDERSTARZ (7) found form and finished in the money two runs ago then came back to earth when she broke and finished sixth last start over 1710m at Ballarat, coming home 24 metres from the winner. Only needs to get things right to be in contention. CONNIES PRESIDENT NZ (5) is worth another chance after a last-start eighth over 2190m at Mildura three-and-a-half weeks ago. Can bounce back. BETSY ANNE (3) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1710m at Ballarat six days ago. Watch for a spike in form.

Last start was sixth behind Dreams Of Love at Ballarat over 1710m on September 2 at $8. Raced better the start before that with a good run when 2nd (Sr3) over 1690m at Kilmore beaten 30 m by Against The Bridle (2:04.70) on August 20 at $7. Sure to play a major role.
