Swan Hill Race 2 - Vhrc / Del Re Foods National Pace
RANDOM MAHONEY (6) has been racing well of late. Did some work but fought on well and finished fourth at his latest appearance at Bendigo, beaten 1.4 metres. Finds a suitable assignment and could grab a well-deserved win. DIAMOND KRUSHER (5) made it two wins from the past three outings when leading to score by a metre at her latest appearance at Mildura. Could go right on with the job. HAPPENSTBABEACHBOY (8) missed the start last time but looks suited here having won the lone attempt at this circuit and distance. LEONARD (9) showed some decent form last time in so watch the betting first up.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing sixth behind Roam at Shepparton over 1690m in a NR 47 to 50 on March 17 at $11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.1 m finishing second behind The Golden Hook at Bendigo over 2150m in a NR 47 to 51 on March 25 at $13. Overdue and expected to be prominent.

Recent efforts have been impressive. Last start by 1.0 m when quickly away, (Fr4) at Mildura (2:12.10) beating G B Brave in NR up to 50 on March 20 at $6 at the bell was leading 1.6. Big chance of back-to-back wins.
