Swan Hill Race 1 - 3sh Morning Rush Pace Final
EL LAZZAR (2) led from this barrier and kept going when he scored by 4.3 metres at Melton last week, his second success from his last three outings. Has the speed to take advantage of another good draw so can deliver again. BELLA LOUISE (7) is racing well having placed in both outings since a Ballarat win. Did a good job from a similar barrier last start, beaten 4.5 metres into third at Melton. Can play a role again. ALWAYS ON SAFARI (6) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently a second at Mildura. FEEL THE REIGN (5) was racing well before the last attempt and has won two of three attempts at this circuit and distance.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Major Drama at Shepparton over 2190m in a M on October 13 at $21. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind El Lazzar at Melton over 1720m on October 21 at $34. Solid top-three prospects.

Failed to impress last start; was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr5) over 1690m at Kilmore was 10th-16.87 at the bell, beaten 11 m by Mister Jimaringle (2:00.20) on October 22 at $34. Showed ability the run before when he ran on from midfield and won by a neck as favourite when driven back in the field, (Fr3) held up early, at this track (2:06.70) beating Ozzie Daybreak in on October 15 at $1.95 at the bell was 4th-5.9. Races well here so could bounce back.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.75 m finishing second behind Altius at Kilmore over 1690m on October 8 at $3.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind El Lazzar at Melton over 1720m on October 21 at $3. Can be in the finish again.
