Echuca Race 8 - Rich River Autobody - Mal & Lorraine Keeble Pace
METRO MEMORY (5) maintained the recent momentum last time out when he scored over 1690m at Maryborough, getting home by one metre after leading. Won't find this any harder and he can make it two on the trot. WINGATE GUY (4) ran fifth last start at Shepparton over 2190m, beaten 13 metres. Expected to run well. FEAR THE POWER (6) is better than his last-start eighth over 2190m at Mildura. Worth another chance. ALTA BAYAMO (7) last appeared when eighth over 1690m at Shepparton 12 weeks ago. Expect a better effort to kick off this prep.

Last start was well back in the run when 4th (Fr7) over 2190m after being wide early at Shepparton was 2nd-3.17 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Whats Glenda Got (2:45.70) on June 30 at $8. Two runs back won by 2.75 m (Sr3) at Bendigo (2:39.00) beating Salsboy in on June 24 at $8.50 at the bell was 8th-12.98. Can play a role in the finish.

Didn't do much last start, was well back in the run when 6th (Fr5) over 2190m at Shepparton, at the bell was 5th-8.46 beaten 14 m by Whats Glenda Got (2:45.70) on June 30 at $26. Before that was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr5) over 1720m after racing wide at Dubbo, beaten 40 m by Watch Me Raider (2:07.10) on June 12 at $151. Needs to do more. Tested again.

Last start won by 1.0 m when quickly away, (Fr2) at Maryborough (2:02.00) beating Highview Hammer in on June 29 at $9.50 at the bell was leading 2.6. In form and sure to prove very hard to beat.

Last start was well back in the run when 8th (Fr4) over 2190m after showing early speed at Mildura, at the bell was 8th-13.6 beaten 14 m by Priddy Carson (2:46.60) on June 26 at $7.50. At the run before 7th (Fr5) over 1650m at Bendigo, at the bell was 4th-7.43 beaten 10 m by Tryx Vixen (2:) on June 17 at $9. Can play a far greater role this time.
