Swan Hill Race 6

Pastor Stephen @ Llowalong Farms Pace

Prize Money: $5,000

AMADA VILLMA (2) finished sixth last start over 1690m at Shepparton, beaten 35 metres, after a modest sixth there the run prior. Has the benefit of a good draw. This should be an easier assignment so she is in the right race to return to form. ESPERANZA (1) produced a better effort last start when she scored by 2.25 metres over 1690m at Kilmore. Taking on a better line-up this time but she is up to the challenge. HIGHVIEW HAMMER (6) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1690m at Shepparton a week ago. One for the exotics players. CRESCO THREEPEAT (7) must be considered after it finished third over 1690m at Shepparton a week ago.

Last start 8th (Sr2) over 1690m at Shepparton was 6th-7.16 at the bell, beaten 17 m by Final Bow (2:05.10) on August 11 at $11. At the start before 6th (Sr2) over 1690m at Kilmore was 6th-9.22 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Standandeliver (2:04.70) on July 30 at $7.50. Rates highly and looks hard to beat on best form.

Last start 5th (Fr1) over 1790m after showing early speed at Mildura, beaten 9 m by Celestial Nebulae (2:17.50) on August 28 at $4.33. Two runs back 3rd (Fr4) over 2190m after showing early pace at Maryborough, at the bell was leading 1.4 beaten 11 m by Milola Rock (2:42.30) on August 3 at $61. Might find this a bit tough.

Two back was seventh after being driven well back, behind Aussie Jay Mac at Shepparton over 1690m on August 18 at $51. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Final Bow at Shepparton over 1690m on September 1 at $21. Nice effort last time. Can play a role in the finish again.
