Swan Hill Race 4 - Swan Hill Water Carriers Pace

LORD VERDE NZ (8) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when fourth from this same barrier at Albury. Had looked close to a win when recording back-to-back seconds prior. Can settle just behind them and wait on the sprint lane if needed so could grab a well-deserved win. THE LADYBIRD NZ (3) started favourite but clocked in midfield at Mildura last time out. Should enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position so is worth another chance. SKADI (6) has been good from the back row in her last two outings, placing at Maryborough before a fourth at Melton. Race fit now and could be close to a win. PRINCESS ALEXANDRA (4) will be fitter for a resuming fourth from this barrier last week at Horsham.
