Echuca Race 5

Rich River Golf Club Pace

Prize Money: $6,000

HELLOVATIME (6) is a newcomer to the Paul Tonkin yard having last appeared when fifth at Horsham in December. Has won when fresh before so expect him to be wound up for this. Has the ability to take care of this field. OZZIE PEARL (2) has been drawn on the back row in her last two outings so hasn't been disgraced in finishing midfield each time. Much better served by this barrier so can show more. Both career wins of MAJOR BYE (7) have come at this distance and he is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance at Bendigo. INSIDE LEG (4) strikes at 50 per cent at this venue so deserves respect.

Didn't do much at the last run, 10th (Fr7) over 1690m after showing early speed at Shepparton, beaten 45 m by Katunga Express (2:00.60) in NR 50 to 55 on March 3 at $151. Before that 7th (Fr1) over 2180m at Kilmore well beaten by Isolation (2:40.80) in NR 52 to 56 on February 26 at $101. Recent form suggests he needs to lift.

Improved last start with a game effort when 3rd (Fr1) over 1650m after showing early pace at Bendigo, at the bell was 3rd-3.99 beaten 5.5 m by Ooh Ah Listah (1:59.80) in NR up to 59 on March 4 at $3.40. Capable of another big run.
