Junee Race 2 - Kohnke's Own Gastro-Coat Pace
LETSGO MATILDA (1) has been very consistent of late and added to a string of top-four finishes when she drew much wider and came from a long way back for second last time out, beaten 1.7 metres at Young. Deserves a win and gets her chance from the ace draw. KALKADOON DREAMING (2) is a newcomer to the Garrett yard from Victoria where he hasn't been far away of late. Easy trial winner for this stable and draws to advantage. SPRING DELIGHT (3) is in the mix following a fourth from the back row at his most recent appearance at Temora and a second from a similar barrier to this at Goulburn last month. ULTIMATE EGO (5) is close to a win after two successive placings including a second from this barrier at Wagga.

Last start 4th (Sr1) over 2100m at Charlton was 9th-16 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Lester (2:35.50) in NR 36 to 40 on February 2 at $4.40. Before that, 8th (Fr3) over 1720m after racing wide at Melton, beaten 8 m by Calypso Mistress (2:04.60) in NR up to 50 on January 23 at $8.50. Heading the right way and from a low draw should play a big role.

Fair run when beaten by 5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Savoy Ballroom at Riverina Paceway over 2270m in a NR up to 47 on February 6 at $5. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.75 m finishing third behind Nixsun at Young over 1720m in a NR 39 to 43 on February 17 at $8. Go well again.
