Coolamon Race 8 - Arczone Welding Pace
JUST ROCK ME LOU (3) finished third last start over 1740m at Riverina Paceway, beaten 3 metres, after scoring at the previous appearance over 1770m at Canberra. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Finds a suitable assignment and can find winning form. MIRADOR LASS (6) impressed when successful at Canberra two runs ago, then settled back and failed to figure at her latest appearance over 1710m at Goulburn, beaten 11 metres into fourth. This is a nice drop in grade, so she is sure to prove tough to beat. MITCHELLS RUN (9) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when fifth at Dubbo over 1720m. Must be included. BARWEN STORM (2) has a good draw and is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 1690m at Shepparton on April 15.
