Wagga (H) Race 2 - Harveys Mower & Chainsaw Pace
FOREVER ONTHE PUNT (6) made a good impression on debut when he raced close to the pace then surged to the front and went right on with the job to score a comfortable win at Dubbo. Draws wider but has upside. Leading hope. HEAVENS BADGIRL (4) was runner-up behind a runaway winner two back then drew wide last start but was very competitive, beaten only a neck. Looks close to another win. JILLIBY RYDER (7) is worth plenty of thought after coming from a similar draw and working but proving too good in a last-start win by 1.2 metres at Stawell. IM LORD TOMMY (8) draws out but turned in a strong effort to miss by a nose here last week and should be close to peaking.

Showed ability the run before when he won by 9 m (Sr1) at Leeton (2:10.00) beating Complicated in NR 42 to 45 on March 11 at $5 at the bell was leading 3.9m on the pegs. Among the chances on best form.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Letstacoboutit at Canberra over 1770m in a 2 WINs on March 16 at $2.70. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Always Be Brendan at this track over 1740m in a NR up to 47 on March 28 at $10. Fitter and can play a role.
