Echuca Race 3 - Llowalong Farms Pace

HAND WRITER (1) led from a couple of spots wider for an easy win at Gunbower two starts ago before finishing second at her latest appearance at Melton. Has the gate speed to take advantage of the inside draw. Top chance. MYNAMEISRUBY (3) is in a purple patch of form with back-to-back wins. Came from the second row when scoring two back at Shepparton then led from this barrier and kept going last time at Bendigo, getting home by 1.5 metres. Big chance to land the hat trick. FEELINGOODFREDDIE (9) recorded back-to-back placings before delivering despite working with a last-start win by 3.7 metres at Charlton. Could go on with it. SWISS LIGHTNING (2) draws better than last start and placed in his prior two outings. Go well.
