Goulburn Race 3 - Benstud Standardbreds Nsw Pace
SHARK DANCER (2) draws lower than when fourth at his most recent appearance over 2125m at Penrith. Scored here two back, taking his strike rate at this circuit to 50 per cent. Has strong claims. GIMME A REASON (8) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 21 metres into eighth at Menangle over 1609m. Has to contend with another very wide draw. Meets a similar quality field and is good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. MINI MINE YET (1) ran ninth last start at Menangle over 1609m, beaten 15 metres. Expect her to pose a serious challenge. THE TEXAS RANGER (3) disappointed last time with a modest effort over 1710m at this track. Can do a lot better, so worth considering on an each-way basis.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 9th (Fr1) over 1609m at Menangle, at the bell was 5th-9.4m on the pegs beaten 15 m by Captain Moore (1:54.00) in NR up to 60 on March 25 at $101. The start before 9th (Fr1) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 45 m by Major Statement (1:52.10) in NR up to 60 on March 18 at $81. Draws the inside so worth another chance.
