Temora Race 3

Happy Birthday Paul

Prize Money: $2,655

DARCY MAC (7) is in top form lately including a superb win at this track in 18.61 two back then backing it up with a 18.67 victory at this track over 330m latest. Rates a top chance again if runs up to recent form. PIGEON'S DESIRE (3) has a strong record this trip with 32 wins and 31 placings from 86 starts. Hit the frame latest (18.93) when third at this track in a NG. Among the main chances. HEY MARTY (1) goes very well this course and distance starting 15 times for five wins and four minors. Below best last time at this track (19.15) in a NG, finishing a 6 length sixth. Makes strong appeal on best. BALA ACE (4) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can make amends.

Missed the frame last start when a 2.5 lengths fourth (18.48) at Wagga. Previous form sound including a win three back at this track. Needs to find best and prepared to watch this time.

Hit the frame latest (18.93) when third at this track in a NG. Strong record off the draw with five wins and two minors from 12 starts. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Missed the frame when seventh over 330m at this track in 19.65 fresh. Had been going well prior to a spell. Overall winning strike-rate moderate but rarely far away. Well worth another chance.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by a nose in 18.87, beating Let's Go Out. Last start finished 4th on August 2 over 330m at this track behind Darcy Mac beaten 4.5 lengths (18.99) in a NG. This looks too tough.

Comes off a (22.64) win last time, scoring by a neck in a Mix 5 over 400m at Mandurah. Has seven wins and seven placings from 18 starts from the draw. Tough field and looking to others this time.
