Swan Hill Race 1 - Vhrc / Mark Gurry & Associates Pace
AUSSIE JAY MAC NZ (1) has galloped but still managed to place in both outings since a win at Shepparton. Has trialled nicely twice since the last outing. Has the speed to take advantage of the ace draw so can win with manners. WICKED HANGOVER (6) resumes from a spell of 16 months after closing off last campaign in good form, scoring at her last appearance at Mildura. Readied with a nice trial so look for a good return. HUNGRY HOGARTH (7) eases back in grade on his most recent appearance at Charlton. Draws wide but had put together a series of top-four results prior so can be competitive. HALF PRICE BRIDE (2) draws well and is worth some thought after her last-start fourth from the back row at Kilmore.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Elizajane at Shepparton over 1690m on September 1 at $2.25. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind My Mate Ace at Shepparton over 2190m on September 29 at $3.40. Can go close from this draw.

Didn't do much at the last run, was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr7) over 2180m at Kilmore beaten 50 m by Melican (2:38.00) in M on September 30 at $151. Before that 4th (Sr1) over 2100m at Charlton was 4th-4 at the bell, beaten 4 m by Over The Line (2:36.00) on September 21 at $61. This looks a tough test.
