Goulburn Race 9

The Anzac Spirit Stakes

Prize Money: $3,290

COMBATANT (6) has a strong winning strike-rate over this journey with four wins and a placing from eight tries. Was out of placings last time (25.05) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths. Looks well placed and should feature. PAN LICKED (2) comes off an average effort last start when sixth at this track over 350m behind Dig Deep Rupee (20.53) in a Grade 5. Was a winner the start prior. One of the main contenders. AUSSIE BLEND (8) is a well performed dog who recorded his 9th career win last time out at this track (24.76). Has an impeccable record here at this journey. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Looks a key chance if runs up to latest figure. STANDS TALL (1) is worth a look over a shorter journey this time.

Good effort to win last start by 4 lengths over 457m at Temora in a handy (25.51), beating Let's Go Legend. Very reliable from this draw. Live chance.
