Eugowra Race 3 - Sunnyside Pastoral Super Mdn
HIGH RETURN NZ (1) resumes from a spell of nine weeks after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid third over 1609m at Central Southland Raceway. Has the benefit of a good draw. Likely to run a big race to kick off this campaign. AIR FORCE MAJOR (5) kicked off his career in good style two weeks ago, beaten 6 metres into second over 1700m at Cowra. Primary contender in a similar assignment. PORCUPINE CREEK NZ (6) is on the radar after her last-start fourth over 1730m at Bathurst a week-and-a-half ago. HANDLE BARS DOWN (11) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1700m at this track eight days ago.

Didn't do much at the last run, 8th (Fr3) over 1700m at this track, beaten 25 m by Lacey Cakes (2:06.90) on September 27 at $18. Before that was well back in the run when 7th (Fr6) over 2260m after being wide early at Bathurst, beaten 25 m by A True Phenomenon (2:48.70) on September 16 at $81. Others make more appeal.
