Bulli Race 4

Thirroul Butchers Junior Rlc

Prize Money: $2,655

CHARMING CHICKA (2) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (29.86) at Nowra behind Towering Earl in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Likely to feature again. FANCY LENA (3) boxed on well to finish third last time, beaten 1.75 lengths (24.70) behind Pure Blue at Goulburn. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Must be included in calculations. AUSSIE BLEND (6) has a strong record this trip with 21 wins and 11 placings from 57 starts. Missed the frame latest (19.93) when fifth over 350m at Goulburn in a NG. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. MELANIA BANNER (1) is on a run of two wins and will be in the mix again.

Was among the placegetters latest at Goulburn when a 1.75 lengths third but did clock an excellent 24.70 for the 440m trip. Rates on top here on the time from last run.

Last start finished fifth on April 24 over 350m at Goulburn behind Travelling Gem, beaten 9 lengths (19.93) in a NG. Look for improvement. Not out of it.
