Echuca Race 8 - Tongala Lions Club Pace
MY GREAT EIGHT (7) failed to flatter last time out when fifth, beaten 16 metres, over 1650m at Bendigo. Can travel in a nice spot from this draw and wait on the sprint lane if necessary. Primary contender if anywhere near his best. PARISIAN BANDIT (8) was in the money at Shepparton two runs ago before finishing third at his latest appearance over 1650m at Bendigo, beaten 12 metres. Leading hope if he is at his best. ATOMIC GLORY (6) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1690m at Kilmore three days ago. TASTE IT (5) is in the mix following a sixth at her most recent appearance over 1690m at Kilmore.

Returns to racing after a spell of nine months. Well beaten at the end of his last preparation when ninth at very long odds behind Treacheroustimes. Has been in work for a little while but after a lengthy break may need the run.

Didn't do much last time out, 9th (Fr4) over 1755m at this track, beaten 45 m by Dot Ball (2:11.10) in NR up to 36 on March 10 at $31. Before that 9th (Sr2) over 1900m at Boort, beaten 50 m by Enable Me (2:24.80) in NR up to 39 on March 1 at $101. Not keen on his chances in this line-up.

Didn't do much at the last run, was well back in the run when 6th (Fr5) over 1755m after being wide early at this track was 7th-15.2 at the bell, beaten 16 m by The Accidental One (2:12.60) in NR up to 36 on March 10 at $14. Before that 6th (Fr2) over 2190m at Shepparton, beaten 45 m by Miss Piggy Wiggy (2:44.90) in NR up to 38 on March 3 at $34. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Fair run when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second behind Zu Hoffen at Shepparton over 1690m in a NR 36 to 40 on March 17 at $41. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after a quick start, behind Bettorsweetvictory at Bendigo over 1650m in a NR up to 40 on March 25 at $41. Can maintain the solid form.
