Temora Race 6 - John Mcdonald Memorial 1-4 Win Ht 2 H
BLAZING TURBO (2) is in sizzling form lately, rocketing around Goulburn in 24.80 to score two back then following on with a 25.55 win over 457m at this track. Flying lately and looks a key chance again. MAXIMUM DAMAGE (1) comes into this a big winner last time in quick time, scoring by 7 lengths (30.35) at Wagga. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. One of the prime contenders. NANGAR ZARA (4) turned in a plain effort last time when sixth at Wentworth Park over 520m behind Deep Space (30.54) in a Grade 5. Was in the money the start prior. Must be included in calculations. PAW IRON (8) is worth consideration after filling a hole at this course and distance last start.

Could only manage eighth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (32.74) over 570m at this track. Tends to go fairly well off the draw but will need the right run to feature.

Last start finished 6th in a Grade 5 on April 9 over 520m at Wentworth Park behind Deep Space beaten 13 lengths (30.54). Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Was out of placings last time (25.57) at Shepparton in a Grade 4/5, finishing fourth and beaten 4.5 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Has ability and should be around the money.
