Echuca Race 3 - Alabar Trot
COURAGES LAW (1) should find this easier than the latest attempt and had been coming from the second row prior, including when he placed last month at Maryborough. Likely to enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position so gets his chance. APRIL SUN (7) produced a good performance last time out when runner-up at Kilmore. Drawn to enjoy an economical run and the sprint lane is in play. Could add to a good strike rate at this distance. ATTRACTED (9) draws on the back row but was strong in a last-start win by a neck at Shepparton. PIESRIDINGSHOTGUN (5) has been drawn wider since coming from this barrier to win three back at Kilmore. Go well.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Rakero Warrior at Charlton over 2100m in a NR up to 49 on February 16 at $31. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Louieville Lass at Maryborough over 1690m in a NR up to 39 on February 25 at $4.40. One of the better chances.

Last start won by a neck as favourite when quickly away, (Fr3) at Shepparton (2:46.00) beating Waikare Adrienna in NR up to 50 on March 3 at $2.15 at the bell was leading 2.9. Can maintain the solid form.
