Temora Race 5

Roy & Nora Pike Memorial

Prize Money: $2,655

LEDGER'S DESIRE (2) was the fastest winner on the program last time out, running away to score by 6 lengths (18.54) at this track. Can continue the winning form. PRANCING PAT (8) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame from Box 2 last run (19.80) at Goulburn. Has a solid record from this box including three wins and a minor placing. Hard to beat again. MY RUPEE (1) recorded a 4.5 lengths win (18.78) in a Grade 5 last time at this track. Has two wins already from this draw. Looks one of the chances. PIGEON'S DESIRE (7) has won at this course and distance – one to keep very safe.

Good effort to win last start by 4.5 lengths over 330m at this track in a handy (18.78), beating Mala Angel. Makes plenty of appeal on that latest effort.

Has been in a purple patch of form, putting five wins together. Had plenty of support last start when he won easily by 6 lengths at this track (18.54) beating Dark Panther in a NG on November 1. Has run hot time here with a 18.35 PB at the distance. Key chance.

In the money last time at this track (18.97) in a NG, finishing a 6 length second. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and three minors. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 2 length third at this track but did record a handy 18.78 over the 330m journey. Harder here and looks a place chance only.

Recorded a 1.75 lengths win (18.64) in a Mix 2/3 last time at this track. Strong record off the draw with seven wins and five minors from 15 starts. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Charged out of the boxes with a slick early split and went straight to the front, giving a huge sight but headed late when a 4.5 lengths second (19.80) at Goulburn. Looks a strong winning hope.
