Maryborough Race 3 - Benstud Standardbreds Mares Pace
TAP TO PAY (7) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when a head from the winner in third over 1750m at Swan Hill. Must overcome a very wide draw. Meets a similar lineup, and she can take this out. DANCIN WITH LUSH (9) was out of the money two runs ago, then overcame a break to finish second, beaten 5 metres, over 1650m at Bendigo five days ago. Shouldn't spend a penny from this draw, and the sprint lane may come in handy. Won't find this any harder, and she can go one better. I OF THE HURRIKANE (6) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1650m at Bendigo last time out. SALSAWITHSIERRA (4) resumes and looks ready to put her best foot forward on the back of three trials.

Failed to impress last start; 11th (Fr4) over 1650m after showing early pace at Bendigo was leading by 0.1 at the bell, beaten 25 m by Harley Blue (1:59.70) in NR up to 49 M on March 26 at $16. Showed ability the run before when she won by a head when quickly away, (Fr4) at Geelong (1:59.50) beating My Justice in NR 40 to 45 on March 7 at $9.50 at the bell was leading 2.02. Best form puts her right in this.

Well-beaten 17 days ago at Melton over 1720m, before that 7th (Sr3) over 1710m at Ballarat beaten 30 m by Ideal Affair (2:04.70) in 0-2 WINS on March 6 at $81. Hard to have on those efforts.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start 6th (Sr1) over 1650m at Bendigo was 7th-8.8 at the bell, beaten 11 m by Harley Blue (1:59.70) in NR up to 49 M on March 26 at $4.60. The run before 6th (Fr2) over 1650m at Bendigo, at the bell was 5th-5.5m 2WWC beaten 17 m by Mister Jimaringle (1:57.50) in NR 49 to 55 on March 19 at $13. Rates highly on best form and can bounce back.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Direct Command at Charlton over 2100m in a NR 45 to 50 on March 16 at $41. Then a handy effort when a close third behind Ronzel Micky at Swan Hill over 1750m in a NR up to 49 on March 25 at $12. Has definite claims.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after showing early speed, behind Direct Command at Charlton over 2100m in a NR 45 to 50 on March 16 at $61. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Harley Blue at Bendigo over 1650m in a NR up to 49 M on March 26 at $34. One of the primary contenders.
