Swan Hill Race 6 - Vhrc / Renown Silverware Pace
CATALPA RESCUE (8) is in good form at present. Finished fourth at his latest appearance over 2240m at Melton, beaten 9 metres. Can settle just behind them and wait on the sprint lane. Finds a nice race and can grab a well-deserved win. SPIRIT OF ARION (4) has had two runs this prep and is yet to finish in the top three. Added to the sequence last time over 1650m at Bendigo, finishing 7 metres away from the winner in sixth. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. PAS GUARANTEE (7) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1650m at Bendigo last time out. TIGER BAND WAGON (5) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 1720m at Melton on April 19. Watch closely.

Didn't do much last start, 8th (Fr1) over 2240m at Melton was 9th-13.85 at the bell, beaten 19 m by Sahara Breeze (2:38.50) in No NR on April 19 at $101. Before that was well back in the run when 5th (Fr7) over 1650m at Bendigo, at the bell was 7th-7.69 beaten 7 m by Harryhoo (1:55.90) in NR 65 or better on April 16 at $81. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Last start was well back in the run when 9th (Fr6) over 2270m at Riverina Paceway, beaten 13 m by Boom (2:42.80) in NR up to 90 on April 19 at $31. At his previous start 8th (Fr2) over 2240m after showing early speed at Melton beaten 30 m by Dukes Choice (2:40.50) in NR 70 to 79 on April 12 at $15. Capable of more than he has shown recently.
