Swan Hill Race 1

Lather Up @ Woodlands Stud Pace

Prize Money: $8,000

HELLOVATIME (2) scored by a nose at Riverina Paceway over 1740m last start, the second win from his past three runs. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position and has the talent to make it two on end. DIAMOND ECLIPSE (3) finished fourth last start, beaten 10 metres at Riverina Paceway over 1740m. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. TELEMACHUS (1) disappointed last time when eighth over 1720m at Melton. Can bounce back from the coveted pegs draw. THESTATESMAN (9) is worth some thought after his last-start sixth over 2240m at Melton on August 15. Should find this assignment a touch easier.
