Swan Hill Race 1 - Vhrc / Australian Pacing Gold Pace
ALIFETIMEFORLIVING (9) is looking to improve on her last-start seventh behind Ivseenheavenslight at Listed level over 2240m at Melton two-and-a-half weeks ago. Ready to bounce back to winning form. CAN BE A RUEBE (8) finished fourth last start, beaten 3.5 metres at Kilmore over 1690m. Talented and has plenty of upside. Expect her to be prominent. NUGGET ROGERS (7) is open to further improvement at the third run back from a break after scoring last time out over 2190m at Shepparton. Likely to be around the mark again. KALKADOON DREAMING (10) is the best of the rest after finishing runner-up over 1690m at Shepparton last time out. Each way value.

Didn't do much last time out, 9th (Fr2) over 1785m at Stawell beaten 30 m by Remi Lou (2:09.20) in NR 55 to 64 on April 18 at $101. Before that 10th (Fr5) over 2100m at Charlton, beaten 40 m by Lochiel Lad (2:35.50) in 0W/15 0K stake on March 16 at $41. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Last start 6th (Fr3) over 1740m after showing early speed at Riverina Paceway, beaten 7 m by Caribbean Pride (2:04.60) in NR up to 53 on April 4 at $3.60. Before that, 8th (Sr3) over 1720m at Melton beaten 40 m by Apollostorm (2:01.50) in NR 50 to 55 on March 29 at $21. Coming good it seems so worth following up.
