Echuca Race 1 - Llowalong Farms Pace
SPORTS LINER (10) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 9 metres from the winner in fifth over 1690m at Shepparton. No favours expected from this draw. Hard to beat. ROCKSTAR LEO (11) settled well back at his most recent outing, then closed strongly and scored by 2.5 metres at Shepparton over 2190m, a deserved result after some steady improvement in recent runs. Hard to know where he gets from this slightly awkward draw. Taking on a better field, but he is up to the task. FOUR STARZZZ RUBY (8) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when she finished fifth at Bendigo over 1650m. HAND WRITER (5) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1650m at Bendigo last time out.

Didn't do much last time out, 7th (Fr1) over 1650m at Bendigo, at the bell was 6th-8.56 beaten 17 m by I Of The Hurrikane (1:59.50) in NR up to 49 on April 9 at $26. Before that 8th (Fr4) over 2160m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 85 m by Dancingonstarlight (2:42.00) in NR 37 to 42 on February 16 at $10. This looks a far sterner task.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 5th (Sr1) over 1690m at Shepparton, at the bell was 3rd-4.8m 2WNC beaten 9 m by Alta Bayamo (2:03.70) in NR 37 to 42 on April 8 at $4.40.

Heading the right way and should play a big role.
