Forbes Race 8 - Thank You Forbes Diggers Harness Racing Committee Pace
KATLAS DREAM (3) drew a wide gate last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 16 metres into seventh at Menangle over 1609m. This should be an easier assignment so from a favourable draw she is sure to prove tough to beat. NOSAER (8) is going well, with a win two starts ago then a fine second last time out over 2060m at this track where he broke in running. May need luck at some stage extracting from the inside of the second row. Has the quality to play a major role. Won't find this any harder and he can return to winning ways. SHES SOME LEXY (4) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 8 metres at this track over 1680m. ROLL TO THE TOP (5) must be considered after she finished third over 2060m at this track nine days ago.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr6) over 1609m at Menangle beaten 16 m by Wattosblazeofglory (1:55.10) in 4yo+ NR up to 50 on March 28 at $3.30. Showed ability the race before when she won by 1.2 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr3) at Dubbo (2:05.00) beating Scarlet Bling in NR up to 52 M on March 23 at $2.50 at the bell was leading.6m on the pegs. Better than the last run and can improve sharply.
