West Wyalong Race 8 - West Wyalong S & C Club Pacers Cup
IMA BOXA (11) produced a better effort last time out, finishing third over 1720m at Melton. Will need an ounce of luck to slot in from this tricky draw. Taking on a better field but he is good enough to cope. SEASIDE DELIGHT (8) turned in a strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1700m at Eugowra. Won't spend a penny from this draw but luck may play a role on the bell lap. Taking on a better line-up this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. CAPTAIN MOONLIGHT NZ (7) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1700m at Alexandra Park seven-and-a-half weeks ago. SHEZ SWEET LOUISE NZ (9) is in the mix following a fourth at her most recent appearance over 1700m at Eugowra.

Racing consistently. Last start won by a head as favourite when quickly away, (Fr4) at Riverina Paceway (2:01.70) beating Im No Trouble in 3yo on October 9 at $2.30 at the bell was 4th-5.5. Can play a role in the finish again.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Nyack at Riverina Paceway over 1740m on October 4 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Soap And Bubbles at Melton over 1720m on October 9 at $3. Can continue with the good form and overcome the awkward draw.
