Leeton Race 3 - Heffer Family Memorial
VINCHESKA (8) added to her recent string of strong performances last time out when runner-up over 1740m at Riverina Paceway, beaten a head. May need luck at some stage extracting from the inside of the second row but rates a primary contender in a similar race. SECRETS KEPT (2) is in good form at present. Finished fourth at her latest appearance over 1635m at Temora, beaten 4.5 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meeting a deeper field this time but she is up to the challenge. CAPTAIN DEEJAY (4) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1740m at Riverina Paceway last time out. In the mix. LOVELY LILY (7) should be forward enough to run a big race first-up from a break following three trials. Respect any market confidence.

Last start game effort when 2nd (Fr7) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway beaten a head by Im Butter Blue (2:03.50) in NR up to 55 M on February 27 at $4.60. Two runs back won by 4 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr3) at Bendigo (1:58.60) beating Shazza Love in NR up to 50 on February 20 at $2.70 at the bell was leading 2.09. Among the leading chances and can overcome the tricky draw.
