Echuca Race 5 - Vhrc / Benstud Standardbreds Pace
WILL HE REIGN (3) produced a better effort last start when he scored over 1650m at Bendigo, getting home by 7 metres after leading. No excuses from this advantageous draw and rates a big chance in a similar assignment. HEZ HARRYWHO (4) added to his recent string of strong performances last time out when runner-up over 1740m at Riverina Paceway, beaten a nose. Meets a comparable field so he can go one better this time around. ALLGOOD VINNIE (5) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1790m at Warragul four weeks ago. Top-three aspirations. MADAM REACTOR (1) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound third at Shepparton over 2190m. Include from the pegs.

Two back was fourth behind Midnight Alibi at Bendigo over 2150m in a M on June 24 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.75 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Eagle Major at Shepparton over 2190m on June 30 at $4.40. Should be involved on her recent form.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Thats The Attitude at Riverina Paceway over 1740m last start. Before that was beaten 3.5 metres fourth at Riverina Paceway same class on June 19. With further improvement can go one better.
