Echuca Race 1 - Rich River Golf Club Trot
FLING IT RAINBOW (1) finished third last start, beaten 5.5 metres at Kilmore over 1690m. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position and rates a leading hope in a similar assignment. LAVENGERS BOY (8) was responsible for a good effort at his latest run to get home by a narrow margin over 2190m at Maryborough on June 29. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to cope. JETAWAY SAINT (2) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 2190m at Maryborough last time out. Top-three candidate. VAN DOREN (10) is also in contention although the draw makes his job a bit tougher.

Improved last start with a good run when 3rd (Fr2) over 1690m at Kilmore was 4th-5.61 at the bell, beaten 5.5 m by Jessicas Story (2:09.60) on July 2 at $8.50. Nice effort last time. Looks very hard to beat.

Two back was third after showing early speed, behind Sonnyboy at Kilmore over 2180m on June 18 at $9. Then a handy effort when third after showing early speed, behind Jilliby Topgun at Shepparton over 2190m on June 23 at $9.50. Bold showing expected again.

Two back was fourth behind Jilliby Topgun at Shepparton over 2190m on June 2 at $3.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Jilliby Topgun at Shepparton over 2190m on June 23 at $12. Has the ability to overcome an awkward draw.
